      just to clarify, the Mayflower was full of puritans, who were being “persecuted” by being told they couldn’t force their extremely narrow bigotry onto everyone else around them.

      So, honestly, I’m all for shipping the zealots of to someplace else. They can leave the rest of us alone.

        Trouble is there’s not really any lands that some nation wouldn’t object to a bunch of crazies being dropped off in. So either we’ll need to ship them up to the moon, or force them to start working on atlantis.

    as with everything else, they’ll leave the definition of “christian” absurdly vague in order to define it however they please in a given situation. then they’ll go out to any actual christian churches who are accepting of “other” instead of discriminating against them, and charge them with being “unchristian/unamerican,” force them to update their beliefs to hate gays/blacks/women/etc

    get ready for mandatory church attendance and tithes at a govt approved jesus center

        I firmly believe that the fundies are trying to fulfil the prophecy of the book of revelation. Trump is playing the part of the antichrist, musk is the beast and I’m not sure who is playing satan yet but xi and Putin are both strong contenders. My concern is how the heritage Foundation interprets “lake of fire”.

          I just think Trump is doing all of this shit because he can, there’s nobody this time around that can stop him, we rightly tried locking him up in Federal prison for the rest of his life, and he really really didn’t like being mocked by Obama during the Correspondents dinner. He’s going to burn it all down, and so many people are about to die, here, and all around the world.

    Remember how the radical right, most especially of the more Randroid type was saying that talking about Gilead states was hyperbole and hysterical, etc…?

    Then they reversed 50 years of Roe. And now this insane piece of shit is back in the office, throwing red meat to the crazies that think this is a xtian nation (or that it should be one).

      They’ve been saying that all along, haven’t they? These are the same people that think “teach the controversy” is a good slogan to repeat over…checks notes…evolution?

    “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”

    “Good news, Trump doesn’t want Congress to have any power anyway!”

    Wow America! You really are doing everything in your hand to become a new medieval monarchy.

    You have the absolutist king, the feudal lords, the hate towards any progress…

    You were missing the inquisition. WERE.
