  • I tried replicating this with Google Earth, but once you get past the halfway mark it tries to flip around and draw a line in the other direction. Guestimating it by drawing two lines seems to work ok, but I can’t find a way to avoid Australia, while shifting the start and end points between northern and southern NS and BC, and keeping the midpoint either just missing Africa or just missing Antarctica.

    Yeah, “limited government” has never been true. They always favoured big government when it comes to interventions in people’s personal lives, including medical decisions, marriage, and what substances you can imbibe. They’ve never cared for reducing the debt, except when Democrats were in charge of it. Law and order & justice have always been a “do as I say, not as I do” type situation. It’s that classic quote:

    Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

    Trump has amped this up to 11, but it’s always been the main defining feature of the Republican party (at least during my lifetime).
