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.

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.

Well then Allah be praised!

/S

American Christians will martyr themselves for their silly beliefs. But not before murdering a bunch of people.

Isn't separating church and state really important?

He doesn't give AF about religion he's no fucking moral centre. This is lip service to his base

[–] overworkedandundersane@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Since when have religion and morality had anything to do with one another?

[–] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al -4 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

Religion is a moral code. He doesn't have a moral code

[–] Ilixtze@lemm.ee 6 points 2 weeks ago

Religion can also be a WEAPONIZED moral code. And America has had a history of weaponizing it's idea of morality. So nothing new here, just more extreme.

All of this is spelled out in project 2025. If you want to know what's coming next, just look at their website.

I'm curious what will happen when they try to abolish the Federal Reserve.

[–] 13igTyme@lemmy.world 10 points 2 weeks ago

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.

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.

[–] Brandonazz@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Another conservative gave up their seat to prevent us being free of Poilievre.

[–] UnderpantsWeevil@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

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.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

Yup. That’s the next step. Rip smut.

[–] gamer@lemm.ee 4 points 2 weeks ago (4 children)

What's the rationale behind this? Is it just pandering to religious freaks, or something else?

If you’re bored of the same old, check out aliens, ware wolves, vampires and other species.
