That’s because Trump thinks that he is god
Let’s just forget about the right to bear arms
Yeah! Let’s arm all the bears! My favorite one is the shotgun bear.
Some people like the Kodiak or Polar bears. Me, I like my Browning Bears with .50 BMG (Big Mean Grizzly)
I’d like to just forget about the church altogether
well he does also want to become pope. maybe he wants to multi class but what we really wish is if he dual classed.
It’s incredible that the U.S. is having this discussion again. What’s the point—bringing creationism back to schools or stoning prostitutes?
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.

A common theme of MAGA is inventing problems that they can solve.
The idea that Christianity in the US is under threat and needs additional protections, is some epic persecution complex.
I had an old boss tell me that Christians are the most persecuted people on earth. They truly believe it and get off on it. All while existing in a country where you almost have to be Christian or at least Jewish to be elected to national office. It’s pure mass delusion propaganda.
A common theme of MAGA is inventing problems that they can solve
That they can pretend to solve.
when your only skills are being angry and stupid you have to get creative
Their skill is making other people angry, and that anger makes them stupid and easily manipulated.
Maybe if they bring back the church into politics he will learn who this Jesus guy is who everyone is talking about. Might be surprised that he was a “radical leftist”
He means American evangelist Christianity. Which is just capitalism with god. They are more interested on social control of masses and collecting tithe than any actual idealism.
It’s far bigger than tithe. The article explains that the white house god office is run by someone who will take $1000 payments to send angels to people. They brought on that fucking moron Ben Carson too, which makes me think this is more about persecution if gay and transgender people than anything else. Other than that they’re just making sure all the grifters (religious and MAGA) on the same team.
The final form of conservative regimes always resorts to imposing religion and rigid moral codes in order to suffocate any form of dissent. Conservatives have been painting themselves as the “rebels” in their manufactured culture wars and the warriors of freeze peach, but in the end it always funnels back to this: Bible authoritarianism. They will use this argument for push for more censorship, information control, stripping away rights and oppressing every community they deem against their dogmas. The writing has been on the wall for a decade now.
I am hoping that America’s new implementation of this “Christian state” proves to be grotesque enough to serve as a warning for the rest of the world that even had the fleeting thought of going down this route. And I while am not very hopeful for Americans, I wish they find the strength to resist and revolt against this movement.
Bible authoritarianism.
Based on one very specific “interpretation” of the Bible that nobody is allowed to argue against.
Meanwhile the vast majority of the leaders don’t give a shit about christianity except when it comes to elections and a means to an end. Anyone who tries to say Donald Fucking Trump is a christian is in a cult.
“Our Country.” Is just his White America/Klansmen base. We need that separation more than ever.
Isn’t separating church and state really important?
Only if you care about the constitution, freedom, and/or democracy. It’s very clear MAGA does not care about any of that so here we are.
All of this is spelled out in project 2025. If you want to know what’s coming next, just look at their website.
Just wait until they start banning porn. It’s already started in some states tbh.
Canada almost had the same thing happen, but thankfully Poilievre didn’t win PM, and even lost his seat too as a bonus.
Another conservative gave up their seat to prevent us being free of Poilievre.
He’s in an intra-party dust up with Doug Ford, brother of the infamous crack smoking Toronto Mayor.
So its possible we’ll get a porn ban if Poilievre comes out ahead. But we could alternatively get pole dancing as an elective and weed in the school cafeterias.
They literally can’t ban porn unless you turn off the whole internet.
In my day we made do with porn we found in a box in the woods.
Yup. That’s the next step. Rip smut.
What’s the rationale behind this? Is it just pandering to religious freaks, or something else?
My guess is that it’s a step towards banning anything considered “sexual” or “deviant.” I.e., anything to do with LGBTQ people, sex ed, educating women about their bodies and rights, etc. Anything that the white patriarchy dislikes while also making it easier to subjugate the population through ignorance and propaganda.
Which leads to uninformed teenagers becoming pregnant, being forced to carry the child, and being stuck in poverty and ignorance for the rest of their lives as a result. This gives us uneducated workers and soldiers.
Every live baby is a potential dead soldier. And the more education is destroyed the more popular that path will be.
My guess is that it’s a step towards banning anything considered “sexual” or “deviant.”
Which is just a step toward banning anything that doesn’t “glorify our dear leader.”
Is it just pandering to religious freaks,
That and increasing their authorization grip on society.
well I am totally bored of the step brother genre.
If you’re bored of the same old, check out aliens, ware wolves, vampires and other species.
ware wolves
Like wolves selling knives door to door or more like a flea market run by wolves?
I’ve been warning people about the setup to martial law. That’s the final step of project 2025 that officially and completely destroys democracy. There will be no going back and no voting in the future. I keep being called an alarmist, but I was called an alarmist in late 2015 when he announced his run. It’s also perfectly spelled out and they’ve been doing every project 2025 has step by step.
I’m curious what will happen when they try to abolish the Federal Reserve.
there’s a lot going on in this article, but this part in particular is… uhh … a really special form of religious virtue…
I wish had no scruples because then I could sell people angels for $1,000
I love how the most devout Christians are always always complete shitheads
Given the shitheads who’d actually buy that crap, I’d say this is one group of people to scam the shit out of without fear of compromising one’s scruples.
The people who buy that crap are victims. Uneducated by the state and propagandized into eternal fear by the media and religion.
They’re going to send their money off to scammers anyway. Might as well redirect it somewhere were it won’t be used by straight up evil people doing straight up evil shit.
I’m also not sure how much I believe in their “victim” status. I was raised in a conservative Southern Baptist household in Mississippi, and I figured out that stuff was bullshit after a few Sunday School sessions.
It’s not just “no scruples”. Lots of people run these scams. Only a few of them succeed.
Easy to forget that Bush and Reagan also had these Faith Based Initiative and religious themed cabinet positions. And they were also primarily about funneling state money to religious demagogues. And then Clinton/Obama kept them around because they didn’t want to offend the religious extremists.
The large network of Crisis Intervention Centers that effectively exist to abuse young people with poor grades, substance abuse issues, and non-conforming gender/sexual preferences were all originally bankrolled by Reagan/Bush Era pilot programs and church kickbacks.
Also I remember Bush saying he talked to god and was chosen by god and blah blah blah
Only a matter of time until he declares himself Holy Roman Emperor. And silly me was under the impression, he’s trying to emulate an entirely different era of German history.
Leaning into grifting. Like always. He is just dipping into the Christian side of the grift.
Well then Allah be praised!
/S
So I occasionally check the Fox News site just to see what the idiot commenters say because I find it sad yet entertaining…anyway for the article that was posted about htis issue several people were like “this is a good thing, because sepration of church and state isn’t in teh constitution” like bruh have you read the constiutuion? It’s literally stated in teh first amendment xD
Amendments aren’t part of the constitution… except the 2nd!
