The connection between conservatism and religion/abortion exists because of a well documented effort by Reagan era republicans to culturally connect them. Imo there is no underlying rationale besides "we will create and maintain moral wedge issues to keep religious voters on the hook", while they work on their true goals- the consolidation of wealth and power further into the oligarchy.

ProtonVPN. The VPN works great. I'd use some of their other services but they're pretty restrictive unless you're on more expensive plans than I'm on.

Installed it. Initially thought that it had potential. Then I found that unless you pay 9$ a month, your search results only display messages from the last 90 days. Absolute deal breaker.

Sure but this chart refers to the most popular artists of a given time period. Regardless of how many concerts there are, there will always be one with the most demand.

If you could find data on the median ticket prices or something like that, you may have a point.

Came here to say this. I feel like everyone can benefit from listening to BtB

Thanks. They're called Linebit. I'll bounce back and forth between that and WhiCons depending on how colorful of an aesthetic I'm going for.
