Is everyone just stunned that we’ve stepped back 50 years in time?

To be fair, we have been re-living the 1918 pandemic, the Armenian genocide, but in Ukraine, the various "race riots" of the 19th and 20th centuries and so on, so just throw this on the pile of BS that "conservatives" are foisting on the US and world.

They want to regress us to yurts and abject poverty while they enjoy the 21st century until jetting off to Mars. They could go now.

But I'm stunned that some liberals are still shocked that the majority doesn't always agree with everything they stand for. I'm shocked that some liberals think religious people shouldn't vote in accordance with their own values but liberals should be free to vote in accordance with theirs. I'm shocked that whenever a political party doesn't get it's way there's talk of receding and revolution. I'm shocked that so many people fall for Russian propoganda designed to separate us so we will more easily fall. But mostly I'm shocked at how so many people live in their own political bubble that they fool themselves into thinking "everyone" thinks the same as they do when in reality it's just the 10-20 people they hang around.

The GOP is a minority party.

I’m not shocked at all. But it’s fundamentally anti American to believe that you should impose Christianity on us. It’s literally Amendment numero uno.

Come on. The GOP’s Constitution is the 2nd amendment and “IOKIYAR.” That’s it. That’s the whole document as far as they’re concerned.

When do the Evangelicals and Catholics begin fighting each other? There are big differences in their doctrines. More accurately, the Evangelicals don't really have a cohesive doctrine. I'm here for the show.

Yes, it's shocking, I never thought it would happen. But a lot of things happened in the last 2 years I never thought would happen that are equally scary.

Which Evangelical and Catholic holidays did your school system add to the calendar?


In Montgomery County, we recognize many religious holidays including Ram Navani, Eid ul-Fitr, Kwanzaa, Yaldaa, and Mehergan. It's no big deal.

Those are not Evangelical/Catholic holidays. PP claimed that Evangelicals and Catholics have all the religious power, yet schools are adding holidays of OTHER religions. Contradictory.

For which religion? NYC public schools, for example, had religious holidays for Christians, Jews and Muslims for a long time. Private and charter schools can opt out from these holidays, and some do.

Abortion is also a moral and financial issue. It is rooted in values. Many religions have values against abortion but many many non-religious people object to abortion on moral grounds. Further, some value their money and object to abortion because they don't want to pay for it through taxes or insurance premiums. On the flip side, many liberal christians support abortion rights. This is a politcal conservative vs liberal issue-not religious.

It would be like saying, we have laws against killing people because of christians. Yes, christian values teach against murder but it's not a religious based law. Even most athiests believe murder conflicts with their own moral values.

They won't turn on each other until they are done conquering others. But yes, we are due for another Thirty Years' War.

Between abortion and the three recent Supreme Court cases siding with organized religion, it seems like we are just heading back to a time of superstition.

I mean really what the fk just happened? What is this?


Blowback from "cultural revolution".

Anyone not stunned is excited to oppress others. I’d be excited to learn how you feel about Clarence Thomas’ invitation for legal challenges of gay rights and contraception in his opinion. Actually, no I wouldn’t. I already know how you feel.
