I’m not surprised. USian evangelicals have been solidly zionist for at least a century, probably hitting a high around the mid-90s apocalypse fever, if I had to guess. Obviously any change in the demographics would scare Isntreal shitless. It’s already hard to engage with evangelicals and this will only make it that much harder.

If anyone has any good reading recommendations on arguing with Christian zionists, I’d appreciate it. Better yet, something challenging zionism from their own perspective that I could encourage them to read - bonus points if it doesn’t rely on liberation theology, as the ones I’ve been unfortunate enough to come across find anything Catholic to be inherently suspect.

Last time I had the pads on mine disintegrate, I found some replacements that were made of real leather. I haven’t had to replace them since. Some brands also make fabric pads; I’m sure they probably last longer than polyurethane, but I would expect them to wear out eventually.

It’s not just the current administration; it’s every administration.

It’s not that Lemmy.ml is blocking Mullvad, it’s that Mullvad is blocking Lemmy. If you’re using the DNS content blockers in the Mullvad app, turn the ‘adult’ filter off. I don’t know why they added Lemmy.ml to that blocklist, but that’s what’s happening.
