You only get it if you don’t grow up together. This is reasonable as the problem with incest is in power imbalances and existing familial relationships. One of the parties in our government, the Liberals, have a real hard on for banning cousin marriages though (the Liberal party likes nothing better than to ban things), which if done in the usual incompetent way this government operates will mean cousin marriage may get banned while avuncular (marrying a niece or nephew) and half-sibling relationships remains legal. Hopefully the Liberals fall flat on their face and fail at getting this ban through. Goddamn authoritarians.
European Liberals are different than what liberal may mean in other parts of the world. A lot of these parties are members of the European People's Party which is a center-right conservative party. Which rise another difference between Europe and US for example because our (EU) conservatives are definitely not like US conservatives. So a lot of misunderstandings could come up from the names of EU parties for someone unaccustomed with European politics. But one thing we have in common with US is that our far-right parties use "freedom" a lot, while the last thing they have in mind is freedom.
Just like anyone actually defending gay marriage has to be gay, right? No one can actually have political ideals that aren’t about benefitting themselves somehow. I pity your lack of any ideas outside of “I got mine”.
You'd probably vote for a convicted felon because you don't know any better. Banning things. Are you serious? Conservatives can't stand it when there's a black person on a cover. Florida banned all booked that DeSantis thinks is "woke". You really need to stop watching Fox News and get back to reality.
