It’s uncanny how the U.S. is following Rome.
Once the Christians took power in Rome, it was only a matter of time.
Rome was sacked repeatedly by foreign barbarians. Given the geography, I figure that is either going to be Canada or Mexico.
My dude, we are being sacked repeatedly by Trump right the fuck now. Usually to the benefit of foreign governments or his stateless billionaire friends.
2 Billy to kill Kashogi. Multiple Trump businesses getting government contracts. USAID and soft power sold for parts. A fucking gilded 747 from Jordan. A supreme court that takes “gifts”. Ukraine weapons going to Russia and Israel instead. And Medicaid just got dismantled for billionaire tax breaks.
Higher Education is unaffordable. Minimum wage hasn’t increased in two decades. Housing is unaffordable. Healthcare is unaffordable. And inflation and unemployment have been growing all year.
These things were exponentially less fucked just 20 years ago. Now abortion is illegal, and spending money is more protected as free speech than protesting. I’ve watched as we keep losing our rights to stateless hostile billionaires sacking them for profit.
Canada and Mexico won’t have anything left to sack at the rate we’re converting what remains of our freedoms into profitable suffering.
Canadians already sacked Washington D C ;)
That’s not very “separation of church and state” of you.
That was when they suspended the Constitution. They said it would be temporary. There wasn’t even any rioting in the streets. People stayed home at night, watching television, looking for some direction. There wasn’t even an enemy you could put your finger on.
Time to tax these shits.
Time to start taxing churches for real.
In a sane world, that’d be what this headline meant
when that happened in mexico, the church started giving its congregants guns and it lead to war.
Not unheard of in the us. Church gun raffles happen regularly.
Because of course they can
Weaponizing every aspect of the system to keep republicans in power
It’s a civil war.
Notably, the extra rights are only given to churches. Other non-profits are still restricted in their political activity.
I expect that tune will change once one endorses Zohran Mamdani.
Sounds like the American Baptists should get on that. Then again, they believe strongly in separation of church and state.
(They’re the sect that remains of the original Triennial Convention AKA Baptists, after the
SlaverSouthern Baptists left because they didn’t like the idea of chattel slavery being considered wrong. Seriously. The split occurred because they refused to ordain a guy from Georgia as a missionary in 1844, on account of him being slaver trash.The modern Southern Baptist Church, horrifyingly the largest sect of protestant Christianity in the US, is directly descended from them, and it shows.)
Exactly - only the right (wing) kinds of churches will be allowed to endorse the right (wing) kinds of candidates.
