    Cool, can I stone him for wearing mixed fibers? I’d support that!

    “The founders set that up because they followed the biblical admonition on what a civil society is supposed to look like.”

    The obvious first point is of course that the founders, many very religious, went out of their way to set up a secular process of governance because they knew of both past and their current world where religion and government mixing caused lots of problems, and “the Great Experiment” was all about not following the same path this time.

    I’m curious what Biblical passages he’s pulling from. I’m leaning towards him just talking out his ass (because he can say anything to plenty of believers while invoking “the Bible says” and they’ll nod in agreement without questioning), but I’m willing to give him a bit of benefit if he can find anything to support the claim.

      The Bible says " He who speaks without knowing shall be praised by fools and mocked by the wise"

      Isn’t that the format that Christians have been using for 2,000 years

      I bet Johnson already dreams about his „Ofmike‘s“ every night…

    • I’m not sure if just voting is going to cut it this time. The US is at the end of its political lifecycle and the antiquared political system needs a complete overhaul.

    Boy that’s going to be a lot of Republicans that I’m going to get to take out of town and stone to death.

    But on the plus side, I guess abortion would be back on the table.

    But we already have a democratic republic…

    There are no true democracies, they are all some form of republic.

      The fuck you talking about?

      Republic is a form of state and democracy is a form of government.
      Those things are not mutually exclusive, to the contrary.

      There are democratic republics, there are democratic monarchies, there are totalitarian republics and many other combinations of state form and form of government.

      To say a country is not a democracy because it is a republic is like saying an apple is not a fruit because it is green.
