I would love to have them light up like a scoreboard as each representative takes the floor, showing all of the commandments they have broken. If people want so badly to bring religion into politics then lets just show them exactly who they've been voting for. Maybe we can get the news networks in on this too, displaying it on the side of the screen similar to a sporting event.

Wouldn't work. Just think about all the religious Trump supporters who think he's a "good christian man" in spite of his many obvious unchristian qualities. Their religion is downstream from their bigoted political views, and they don't care one bit about being called out as hypocrites.

On top of that, the media those types would consume would only ever use it to show dems in a negative light. You have to dismantle that entire media apparatus first, which means mass arrests, targeted assassinations, political purges, and, the biggest issue for the dems, not respecting the private property of fascist billionaires.

So you mean all of the things that are legal for Biden to now do thanks to SCOTUS? ๐Ÿ˜†

He'd be allowed to do them, but his views are much closer to those of the republicans (opposing abortion, pro-racism, genocidally zionist, etc) than to a typical voter so he'd never want to. And that was before his brain started leaking out his ears.
