What’s going on with the theocratic intrusion in our laws?

Is this the path Christians want to lead the nation?

I’m sure Steve will delete this because sensitive posters can’t handle the pressure this post may cause.

It’s really looking like Gilead out there folks.

Yes, and it is only going to get worse.

We have a choice in November and it will be the last time we have this choice if Republicians win any Senate, House or Presidency.

If you want to live in Gilead, or like North Koreans or Russians please by all means vote Red. However that means you are no longer an American.

If you want to keep your right to vote then blue for all votes is required.

Project 2025 if it does not scare the shit out of you then you are a dumbass.

If the Republicans would stop caving to conservative Christian lunatics, I would consider voting for them. Until they learn to leave religion as 100% private, I will never ever ever remotely consider voting for them.

Republicians want a Christian Nation.
Well gee which religion will it be?
Catholic well SCOTUS does have that as a common denominator.
Methodist, Church of Satan, Islamic, Hindu, Baptist etc.

Republicans are literally morons.

OP's original point is correct.

Voting for one Republican moving forward is death to women full stop

Voting for one Republican is death to education

Voting for one Republician is death to live as we knew it.

If you think they are stopping at abortion or birth control nope they are not. It will be way worse hard to believe but way worse for women.

"Mark my word, if and when these preachers get control of the [Republican] party, and they're sure trying to do so, it's going to be a terrible damn problem. Frankly, these people frighten me. Politics and governing demand compromise. But these Christians believe they are acting in the name of God, so they can't and won't compromise. I know, I've tried to deal with them."

Anti-abortion was a fringe, Catholic position until the 1970s whenRepublicans suddenly became anti abortion pushed it into Protestantism / Evangelism as a way to create a loyal base of ignorant (and fecund!) voters.

Anti-abortion was never a “fringe” position for Catholics. It has been in the doctrine for centuries.
It remains the preeminent priority for Catholics in the voting guide.

I can literally feel the tension in that post.

This has been a goal for many years. It became more pronounced in the 1980s with Ralph Reed, Jerry Fallwell and others who re-interpreted history and the Constitution to say that we are a Christian country and questioned the idea of separationof church and state. Reed also promoted the idea that the average person was prejudiced against Christians and that they were treated badly. At the same time more people became part of non-establishment/evangelical churches whose pastors gave political opinions as a routine part of worship services. Catholics were very set on outlawing abortion; they had traditionally been Democrats but moved due to this issue and the changed appeal to the working/middle class (e.g., see Peggy Noonan). Every Republican from Reagan onward has allied with this group for votes. At the same time you had Roger Ailes using Fox News as a Republican mouthpiece. These people have pushed this for years and now they are at a tipping point of succeeding.

Agree. I've voted for Republicans in the past on national and local levels. No way now.

I grew up in a Republican family (parents, in the 80s. Nobody - not parents, siblings, spouses, or adult kids wants anything to do with the current brand of Republicans. Other than social issues, I'm pretty moderate-right. The Republican party has completely alienated so many people because they refuse to get out of bed with fundamentalist Christians/Catholics. It's sickening.

They rely on them for the vote, while alienating SO many moderate, reasonable voters.

There’s no tension, just facts, friend.
