    I wonder if any of the dumbasses that are still supporting donvict yet understand what this would mean?

    Log Cabin twats like Peter Thiel? These motherfuckers will come for YOU eventually, Einstein. Same for the likes of Tammy Bruce - an openly gay lesbian won’t be in a position of leadership, what kind of gawdly message is that going to send? The Libertarian dumbfuck techbros still underwriting this shit, that are also hard atheist? You too, motherfuckers! Fast talking fools like Ben Shapiro and Stephen Miller? You guys are Jewish! Are you kidding?

    The loudmouth uppity women like Beetlebert and Marjorie Trailer Queen and Kristi “dog murderer” Noem and Karoline Leavitt? You too - the Babble bangers won’t be having YOU ruling over men, what are you even thinking? Best you can hope for is marrying some powerful man that keeps a roof over your head while he bangs some younger handmaidens to raise a crop of kids with his superior genes.

    Like we should listen to this asshole.

    Yeah, let’s just ignore the First fucking Amendment and basically any freedom that actually matters. Go fuck yourself.

    It’s really funny to me that all the “Christians” in government literally have none of the values Christ did. I’ll bet if I asked them what their favorite Bible verse was they couldn’t answer.

      He never meant it. And all of the cons hate ACTUAL freedom. Meaning, the kind of freedom that includes freedom FROM religion. Not just the “freedom” to select from a set of talibangelical cults.

    Something I’m confused about: if Republicans believe government policy should be based on Christian values, why are they against government programs helping the poor?

      They just believe in the most hateful parts they can cherrypick to fit their ideology. Putting women, gays, blacks and the non-believers in their place.

      They believe in the bible/Christianity insofar that it affirms their preconceived notions.

    It’s incredible that the U.S. is having this discussion again. What’s the point—bringing creationism back to schools or stoning prostitutes?

      The Christian Right wants to make Christianity supreme and use it as the basis to take away rights of minorities including Muslims and LGBT. They want this as cover to take away sex ed and ban pornography and rap music and a long list of other stuff. Project 2025 laid it out pretty explicitly.

        Watch some of the people they interview in The God Who Wasn’t There. One of the guys thinks you should be able to execute homosexuals. Just casually talks about it and you realize how the people that talked about the Nazis and the banality of evil, you are watching it.

        Old-ish movie now, but if someone wants to get an idea of what we are dealing with, the interviews with some of the xtians are off the chart…if you don’t talk to xtians much, or live in a different country, or live in a more metro area that is not filled with this kind of delusion, this might be the first time someone comes across this kind of thing.

      GOP politics and agenda are all about control. And religion historically has always been a means of control. Add a more aggressive form of indoctrination instead of education in schools so that you have young people just smart enough to profitable but brainwashed into not being free thinkers who go tribal against anyone against their tribe. Once you have people replacing morality with religion you can alter that religion to match what ever you want as a means of control.

      The point is replacing a somewhat transparent legal system with an arbitrary mess which makes everyone that isn’t exactly on the politically desired line feel uneasy all the time due to uncertainty of state actions.

    Each separation of church and State? I was in the impression that the USA was a country that made people sweat on the bible to take a serment, that evocks God in its political speech and discours and even in its moto.

    That comment is not sarcastic. I actually feel I miss something to understand the situation.

      Swearing on the bible is a choice made by the individual being sworn in. The actual swearing is to the Constitution and the interests of the people. You could swear on a copy of The Origin of Species if you wanted.

      The shit about having god on our money, motto, and pledge didn’t come about until the red scare of the 1950s. A way to separate the country from the godless communists, and one of the earliest violations of separation of church and state that I’m aware of.
