    It honestly worries me how many people roll their eyes when you say this. When it’s blatantly fucking obvious. Where are all the patriots to scream " THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE IS THERE FOR A FUCKIN REASON"

      They truly unironically believe that America is a Christian nation and intended to be one by the founding fathers. I don’t know how they believe something with such a massive contradiction as if that’s the case why is separation of church and state something the founding fathers included. Doesn’t have to make sense to people living in reality.

        That’s just the thing- they’ve got church-funded groups churning out historical revisionism in which the Framers were really trying to found a Biblical version of Sparta but the wicked usurpers got power and ruined it with their War of Northern Aggression

        Reality? LOL they’re trying to replace reality with their version, which tells you to bend your contemporary knee to them

        They also act like the founders are gods whose supposed wishes need to be followed unquestioningly forever.

          Well, ironically just like with the bible, they pick and choose on that one. For example, 2A is considered to be a natural law equivalent to gravity by them, but the founding fathers also intended for the constitution to grow and change and be amended (eg: the ‘A’ in ‘2A’) but that doesn’t ever really come up…

            I always think of this comedian pointing out the irony. IT’S CALLED AN AMENDMENT!!! The 2A group make me sick. And I don’t mean people who support it in general or like guns or whatever but… the people who make it their identity, the key issue.

            What? Like THAT is what American rights are to you? Getting to own a mini cannon??

        The red scare propaganda really didn’t help by putting, “In God we trust,” on the dollar bill and the, “[one nation,] under God,” part in the pledge allegiance.

      Because MAGAs deny they’ve aligned themselves with religious extremists because Gregg who goes to church every Sunday likes football and guns so he’s probably not a fascist.

      I suspect if you paraphrased or converted to more generalized language things like Sharia law and what the ChristoFascists want, they wouldn’t be able to tell them apart.
