I'm living in the US but not from here originally. Why the fuck is Cuckwell resigning such a big thing in shitlib media? Surely the average person doesn't know or give two shits about a fake school like Liberty University?

Is it purely because of the scandal and watching a conservative fall from grace?

    Part of it is the fall from grace and the straight, obvious hypocrisy from powerful evangelical leaders.

    The other part of it is the ties between the Fallwells and the GOP and specifically Trump.

    Because Mormon private equity out-performed Evangelical private equity and this is what it looks like when the Mormon church's liberalism is replacing Falwell's conservatism.

    Falwells organizations and associated businessmen are last generations predatory-politician-buying-donors and Bain Capital is the future of politics. Citizens United made "Private Equity" the only viable political party. Here's a lost of politicians Mitt Romney's Bain Capital is funding. Seems weird that Bain is now the power center of both the dems and gop and people still think its worth talking about party officials and pop stars instead of donors. Here's a list of Bain Capital political contributions.
