What he’s advocating for is against everything this nation stands for, and the Constitution. If he wants some bible-based government, he has other options he can pick from and move there. And leave all of us that love America and love freedom the hell alone with that “xtian America” stuff.
But isn’t this just democracy in action? The mandate of the people? If a majority vote for these principles then it must become the law of land.
The fact of the matter is that the fanatical Christians want results more than the left does. While we’re on here, uselessly upvoting and downvoting, they’re organizing their communities to achieve real world results. And except for a few notable characters, they’re playing by the rules of the game.
You have the democratic ability to amend the Constitution. If they had the votes to get rid of religious freedom enshrined in the First Amendment, they could make the changes desired and move forward 100% legally.
But they don’t have the votes and they never fucking will. Nobody wants to repeal the First Amendment. It would be political suicide.
Instead they are advocating for willfully violating the Constitution (illegal), weaponizing the courts to destroy Constitutional precedent (technically legal, but definitely not “democracy in action”), and if they can’t get their way, overthrowing and replacing the government through violence (treason sedition).
Yes. We’ll be ruled by a minority (Christian nationalists) because we think that downvoting on social media is sufficient participation in politics.
Well, they’d have to have a constitutional amendment to remove separation of church and state for one thing. For another, the view that xtianity is something that needs to be inflicted on others is a minority view. Even if it was a majority one, there are laws to protect the minority view on things like this, since we have freedom of and freedom from religion.
