I will never forget.
A common theme of MAGA is inventing problems that they can solve.
The idea that Christianity in the US is under threat and needs additional protections, is some epic persecution complex.
Under threat? Because it's declining in popularity? Sounds like the will of the people if you ask me.
I had an old boss tell me that Christians are the most persecuted people on earth. They truly believe it and get off on it. All while existing in a country where you almost have to be Christian or at least Jewish to be elected to national office. It's pure mass delusion propaganda.

That they can pretend to solve.
Country with a second amendment refuses to use it.
You first. Unless there's some reason you're keen for others to risk their lives but not your own.
Plenty of reasons to ask others to risk their lives without being willing to risk your own.
At the most basic level, that's how specializations work: do you whip out your own drill when your tooth hurts? Or do you ask someone with the means and expertise to get the job done to do it for you?
If you're a US tax payer, then you're actively paying a shit ton of people to risk their lives on your behalf. All of those people swore an oath to defend the Constitution from all threats foreign and domestic - they are literally oath bound to engage Donald Trump the same way they do any other enemy of the US. Why shouldn't we ask those people to do their fucking job?
The 2nd Amendment is a last-ditch effort kind of thing, but the longer we get nothing but crickets from the previous paragraph the more relevant it becomes. Fortunately (in this very specific context at least) the US is stuffed with absolute enthusiasts for the 2nd Amendment - why condemn someone for asking one of those people to act on their passion? These fuckers' wet dream is to swoop in with their trusty ol' boom stick and make themselves a national hero by slaying a home-grown tyrant. So go on, Cletus: make us proud ya wraskly ol' cowboy!
In any case, we have a fuck ton of people either obligated or enthused to be the one to single-handedly step up and solve the Trump problem. As someone who's neither obligated nor enthused, I don't see any issue with calling on either of those two crowds to put their money where their mouth is, knowing full well that I'm not personally willing to risk my own life or freedom.
You might be shocked to learn that other countries exist and that the internet works in those countries and that your joke of a fucking constitution doesn't apply there.
Hint: I live in such a country.
It's fascinating how the new world now desires to be just like the old.
I wonder what murica will be called in a few years when it ceases to exist?
You mean North Mexico?
.....but I'm Jewish....

That's because Trump thinks that he is god
American Christians will martyr themselves for their silly beliefs. But not before murdering a bunch of people.
Yesterday I watched the documentary "Hail Statan?", about The Satanic Temple. Not a bombastic documentary but shows a bit what they are, what modern satanism is and what they do in the US. They do mostly require an intact legal system to fight christian overreach so maybe its over for their legal battles
cant kill an idea, thats what matters most.
I wonder if any of the dumbasses that are still supporting donvict yet understand what this would mean?
Log Cabin twats like Peter Thiel? These motherfuckers will come for YOU eventually, Einstein. Same for the likes of Tammy Bruce - an openly gay lesbian won't be in a position of leadership, what kind of gawdly message is that going to send? The Libertarian dumbfuck techbros still underwriting this shit, that are also hard atheist? You too, motherfuckers! Fast talking fools like Ben Shapiro and Stephen Miller? You guys are Jewish! Are you kidding?
The loudmouth uppity women like Beetlebert and Marjorie Trailer Queen and Kristi "dog murderer" Noem and Karoline Leavitt? You too - the Babble bangers won't be having YOU ruling over men, what are you even thinking? Best you can hope for is marrying some powerful man that keeps a roof over your head while he bangs some younger handmaidens to raise a crop of kids with his superior genes.
I'd like to just forget about the church altogether
Religion is more powerful in countries with low education standards.
With the US government actively dismantling its education system, this is part of that bigger picture of wanting a dumber population so they're more easily controlled - through fear.
A shame to see America go so regressive so quickly.
To be fair, the Republican/conservative project against the United States has been decades in the making.
What the actual fuck.
There is this global retreat from rationality it seems.
Why do I need a church?
I wonder who paid him to say that. Trump is just a muppet.
I'll give you 3 guesses, starts with "P"
