I read in Wikipedia that 7 states, including Texas, include some religious test in their constitutions, but all these have been unenforceable since 1961, when the Supreme Court ruled that the constitutional prohibition on a federal test applied to the states too.I doubt that could be legal anywhere.

Well, did you ever steal a horse?According to my state's constitution, horse thievery is a capital offense. That also is unenforceable.
Very well.What's wrong with people with Russians background, why they hate Poland so much ? Russia occupied Poland for more than 160 years during last centuries, make a lot of damage in the country and now they are complaining about the country which they have created themselves educating Poles famous Russians manners.
Do not talk about country which you do not know. I would never say anything about politics in USA as I know only things from mass media.
You need to live in to understand a country. Other way it's just ignorance.
How do you know who Lem would support today as he died years ago ? Have you got any connection with him ? Say Hello from me, please .

>"the creeping authoritarianism and toxic nationalism" - you must be mad saying this when you nver been to Poland, go to over there and check yourself, do not base only on what newspapers supporting the opposition are saying.
That's their dirty way of playing and trying to discredit the government.
If you are on a mission of changing the world go to a polish society club in your town, be nice, talk to people, they will not bite you and if you think they need your help in understanding the world just do it with manners.
Talking like this we will not make the world better. You are not going to change one person's mind by hateful talking .
You are right, we are done. Relax and enjoy your life from now.
Let give me a chanceVery well.
All I can say is you have never tasted Bigos that I cook.
So many words to excuse inexcusable support for a racist, misogynist, authoritarian and putatively neo-fascist government whose only achievement has been significant democratic backsliding.
