Fun fact; The Pennsylvania Dutch for instance aren't Dutch but German. But 'German' in german = Deutsch, so it got morphed into Dutch.

So the Pennsylvania Dutch are in fact the Pennsylvania Deutsch, with german heritage.

Honestly, yes. The man has done his time (35 years), and seems to be legitimately reformed and stable. I probably wouldn't be a fan of his, but I'd be okay with him making something of the rest of his life.

In the Dutch Bible Belt there are areas where up to 35% of voters vote for the Reformed Political Party (Staatkundig Gereformeerde Partij or SGP). The party was officially oppossed to women's sufferage until the late 1980s. The didn't allow women to be members until they were forced to in the mid 2000s, and they only changed because of the threat of a loss in public funding. The female members that did join were only allowed to stand for office because of another threat of loosing public funding in the 2010s.
