The Satanic Temple is going to be very busy. Maybe I should make a donation.
Please do. Lol
The courts will strike this down as fast as the birthright citizenship thing. Flagrant violation of the Estate Clause
These aren't laws whatsoever, so they don't even need to strike anything down, just dismiss any attempt at actually doing something like this lol
"To confront such weaponization and religious persecution, today I'm signing an executive order to make our Attorney General, who's a great person — she's going to be a great Attorney General — Pam Bondi the head of a task force, brand new, to eradicate anti-Christian bias," Trump said.
I feel like Trump’s quote here from the article is even worse than the headline suggests.
First is the use of the word eradicate rather than prosecute. It’s a much more dehumanizing tone, as if there a bunch of pests that need to be wiped out.
And second, which is no surprise but is even more worrying, is how much praise he put on Bondi there. That means loyalty to a person rather than to a nation or constitution.
First time?
The Christians who back this can suck my dick. Trump included even though he's far from a Christian. He's more like a Steve.
It is funny after years of fighting taliban the US now need to deal with neo-taliban at home.
An entire voter base can't rabidly denounced [insert scary middle eastern religion] religious rule while salivating at a chance for Christian religious rule.
It's been here all along.
We've always been plagued with these people but now they have a tool like donvict.
There’s a reason christofascists are often referred to as “Y’all Queda”.
The takeaway can be Bin Laden won, the terrorists won.
Freedom fighters.
And the less specific he is in talking about things like this, the more this will be blatantly abused
Under his eye. You're all so fucked. Anyone not looking to leave that country is fooling themselves.
I'm not leaving. I'm here til the bitter end.
It's not as simple as leaving the country. Not everyone has a passport here. And the vast majority of Americans cannot afford to up end their lives and skip town let alone move to another country entirely. Then it comes to which country to move to. Most countries have requirements for visa entry. If you intend on staying permanently, you have to meet even stricter requirements like higher education, and even then, they won't permit your visa if you aren't in a field that would do good for their country. Some places may have a program similar to America's H1B visa where you can get a job and work in that job to stay in the country but then your livelihood is at the mercy of a stranger in a foreign land letting you keep your job until you can convince the government to give you citizenship. You don't just move to another country. And anyone who can just move to another country is exceedingly privileged.
