      These ate the last gasps of these, though. There’s small resurgences but for the most part these are steadily going away.

      When they impose white christian nationalism on everyone, they are not seen as restrictions but devotions. What kind of heretic are you anyway? /s

      that’s probably not related to any kind of moral or religious belief, but actually a form of election security

      Cooping was a form of electoral fraud in the United States by which gangs kidnapped citizens off the street and forced them to vote, often repeatedly, for an election candidate… so-called “cooping gangs” or “election gangs” working for a political candidate would hold random victims in a chamber or cellar (the “coop”) and ply them with alcohol or beat them to get them to comply.
