Perhaps that anyone of any religion is not also atheist.
Anyone in any theology believes in only their deity, but doesn't believe in the hundreds of other recorded, historical deities.
Even the theists are atheists.
This is so not untrue that it is almost not funny enough to be a joke. I still have back problems from those days
"Now, sir. We're looking at now, now. What's happening now is happening... now."
"What happened to then?"
"We missed it."
"When?!"
"Just now."
"When will then... be now?"
"Soon."
If I had to guess, I'd say that they were talking about how it's barely affordable just to live in some places (wage slaves), and moving yourself and your family to an entire other state takes substantial time and money. Not to mention the emotional difficulty of leaving everyone and everything you know.
The same argument was made about recently freed slaves who had nowhere to go afterward, and how they should just move if they don't like the continuing slavery-like treatment where they lived.
It does seem very cold and privileged from that perspective to tell someone to just up and leave, but this specific comparison seems unnecessarily impassioned
I don't think it's fair to say 40% of Americans.
He only had ~74M votes in the last election, and he still lost. That equates generously to around 1/4 of all Americans (329M), back then. If the support numbers haven't shifted, that's still significantly under 25% of Americans that are too stupid to be left alone with a box of crayons.
