At last, a map showing all the brain cells in the head of a typical Trump supporter.

They were doing so well, until they hit the Rockies, then it sort of all fell apart

That still has the problem of being land based. There is definitely intense polarisation, but it's more an urban vs rural divide and it's very pronounced.

How the 2016 US presidential election would have looked if only ______ had voted {I presume based on exit polls}

Corrected: apologies, I had assumed this was 2020 data, but as pointed out, it’s from 2016. Should have done the reverse lookup before posting rather than after!

When I was 12 I went out on my bike one morning and cycled to my aunt's. She lived 60 miles away. I didn't get in trouble, was just warned not to cycle back the same day.

Nobody knew where my friends or me were from dawn to dusk in the summer.

I remember when I was in 3rd class - so when I was about 8 (1981 or so) - the Principal came into the class and asked who was allowed go on the bus on their own into Dublin city centre. A few people put up their hands, and one of them was selected to deliver something into town. They were just given the bus fare, an envelope and directions. No parent was contacted for permission - they were just sent off on the bus on their own as a courier. They came back, though, so it all worked out. Why they chose to ask 3rd class, and not older kids, I've no idea.

Older kids are more likely to get waylaid or be too curious. Might have opened the envelope sure.

I remember at the age of 10 going into town with my mate to get school books!

That was 1994!

Tell me how

Older kids were probably out on the farms and unloading barges at the docks etc

In the English version of Amhrán Na Bhfhian there are some liberties taken on translation to enable the anthem to be sung smoothly..

The English version is the original version, the Irish version is the translation.
