Were the protests outside concerts also bi-partisan in nature or were they organised by Christian groups? I think the protests are different to the PMRC actions.

Edit: actually ignore me. I don't think we have matching definitions of left and right wing. And I definitely don't have knowledge of whether the US Democrats are left wing by any definition I'd use

In the 80s and 90s, about 90% of US adults identified as Christian. So your question here doesn’t really make sense.

I’m getting the impression that your idea of “right wing” is just all the things that you don’t like, such as Christianity. Irrespective of actual the histories of right and left wing politics…


I think you're jumping to conclusions about my opinions with very few data points. I'm not from your country so I'm also not sure what history we'd be looking out without a lot of 'true scotsman' arguments about definitions.

As for Christianity, I hope we can agree that the teachings of Jesus are quite to the left on the political spectrum.
