That led me to wondering what else Conservative Republicans (cutting arts funding was the brainchild of Conservative thank tank Heritage Foundation) and Radical Islamists had in common. So I did some research and created this handy little chart. And gee whiz! The GOP and ISIS have way more in common than we thought!

Also, while poking around the Internets (looking for a map I saw a while back showing the United States as a bunch of -stans*), I came across these two maps of the world.
This first one shows Ronald Reagan's view of the world, back in the 1980s:
The second map illustrates Donald Trump's view of the world in 2016:
Pretty interesting, no?
*If any of you find a link to that map, please send it to me.

One of your best, J! I love it. Sadly, the Democrats are not spotless, either. This is why I side with Bernie, who always talks about the issues, and as an Independent, is not beholden to the party establishment.
One of my favorite signs at the Women's March on DC said "Make Margaret Atwood Fiction Again."
@Betty, great sign.
