If you didn’t vote Harris, you voted for this.

[-] SereneSadie@lemmy.myserv.one 53 points 2 months ago

Upvoting to counter the spineless cowards who enabled Nazi America.

There have been no new Supreme Court nominees since the election, so even if Harris had won, it would not have changed this.

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 months ago

Hey we don't know, maybe Harris would've expanded the Supreme Court!

Ok maybe we know.

I hope the Satanic temple will be opening a charter school in Oklahoma soon.

[-] Infinite@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 months ago

Yeah, the idea isn't that church and state are matter/antimatter, but that the state shouldn't be used to direct people towards or away from any religion.

If the government establishes fair criteria for "school eligible for federal funding" then there's no reason those schools must be secular or of any particular religion.

Wait until some MAGAt groks that their tax dollars might go to a (((school))) or end up helping Muslims in some way.

TBF, this regime doesn't actually support any form of real education.

He continued: “You can’t treat religious people and religious institutions and religious speech as second-class in the United States… And when you have a program that’s open to all comers except religion… that seems like rank discrimination against religion.”

No, you stupid cunt. Religious institutions are special snowflakes that enjoy tax-exempt status and steal billions of dollars from this country by existing. Now you want to give them billions more on top of it. Fuck you Brett Kavanaugh you treasonous piece of shit.

America really is falling through, huh? Might just be best to dissolve the union and leave behind the garbage.

[-] Witchfire@lemmy.world 47 points 2 months ago

Conservatism is late stage cancer. You either lop it off or let it kill you

[-] Gowron_Howard@lemm.ee 34 points 2 months ago

Religion in general is a cancer on societal progress.

[-] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 19 points 2 months ago

I've said that, word for word. When I actually sit and think about it though, I think it's more like appendicitis. Religion once served a purpose (passing on of useful cultural norms and expectations), has become vestigial, and is now inflamed and likely to kill us (as a society and individually, in some cases)

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

It's accelerating very fast

“You can’t treat religious people and religious institutions and religious speech as second-class in the United States”

If you’re teaching spiritual things then you’re not a top-class program. Stick to facts.

[-] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Facts are against their religion

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 34 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It’s funny that they clearly aren’t considering that religions other than theirs also exist. That’s the whole point of the Separation of Church and State. Your arbitrary religious views have no place in government or governance or public spaces… because others have other beliefs, many of which likely stand in stark contrast to yours, and the permutations are endless. Leaving your religious biases out of public life allows us all to coexist.

But lets ignore that and see what happens. Looking forward to The Satanic Temple having a presence in all public schools. Maybe muslims can get the Five Pillars and Buddhists can get the Noble Truths… and we’re just getting started.

[-] ZombieMantis@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

They're not ignoring it, they're fully aware, and it's the whole point. They want an official state religion to suppress all others. They've been perfectly willing and able to blatantly ignore facts, evidence, and existing law and jurisprudence to benefit one religion over all others.

[-] pinheadednightmare@lemm.ee 29 points 2 months ago

Religion is a belief. School curriculum is made based on facts and experiments over time. They should not be combined.

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Religion is made up fairytales that adults still believe in.

Honesty a guy praying to Jebus is no different than a guy shooting hadoukens from his wrists.

Yet one is called spiritual while the other is called childish.....

How about we , the people, just don't fucking do what they say. Trump's an illegal president

They might as well wipe their ass with the constitution because they care fuck all about it.

[-] IEatDaGoat@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

I wasnt going to have kids and the world keeps enforcing my decisions. If I had to deal with religion aimed at my kid I'd actually lose it 💀

Idiocracy was right about the future, but it looks to be isolated to the US.

[-] thr0w4w4y2@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 months ago

you clearly didn’t see the results of the UK’s local elections today if you believe this.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
