CONSTITUTION CRISIS Is Not Relevant. Who Is Going To Arrest Those Who Defy. GOP Supportive.

Law and the Constitution only mattered when Obama was in office or Democrats controlled all or part of Congress. Now that the GOP has the power they will support ignoring the Constitution or judges who do not support their agenda. Hell if they want to mrurder people outright who is going to stop these devils?

What we are seeing is just the beginning. IT IS ALL ABOUT POWER AND THEOCRACY. With virtually all the GOP being radical right wing Christian what do you all expect. The RW Christians voted 81% GOP. They demand their due.

The public is missing the fact that the GOP delegation is overwhelmingly Christian even down to the state level. Looking at the rhetoric across the country and where it comes from you see a real tilt toward radical Christianity. Years ago a friend and I were already discussion Dominionism during the Bush years. What we are seeing was predictable if the voters did not wake up.

The churches which are actually businesses are hiding behind religious freedom. So it is hard to attack them.

Because the states that have those laws in place have absolutely nothing to do with religion or freedom, and everything to do with religious discrimination. And that "First Amendment Defense Act" would legalize that bullshit all across the land. It's terrifying what the dominionists and the RW evangelicals want to do, and we cannot keep allowing them to get away with what they're getting away with. They are shredding the constitution, while at the same time claiming that we should take it literally. I for one refuse to stand by their game.

We are literally moving to becoming a country whose laws and norms are based on the make believe of the Buybull.
