The Satanic Temple is at it again!
(lemmy.world)
Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
That's heavily overstated. And it largely works by scaring local bureaucrats into thinking they do actually have to host their goofy statue.
In practice, they regularly lose in court. Most recently, the Temple lost a case in bright-blue Boston over their appeal to lead a prayer at the Boston City Council.
Last year, a federal court threw out a case by the Temple to overturn the Indiana abortion ban.
Because they have large constituencies and enormous fundraising power. Not because officially reflexively allow any religious organization to act outside the law. The Satanic Temple is great at getting in the news and embarrassing local officials, but middling to useless at affecting public policy.
