    I’ll bet that Lindsey Graham (“Mee-maws little warmonger”) is secretly conflicted right now.

      I think its a twisted reading of the book of Matthew, which says:

      If your right eye causes you to stumble, pluck it out and throw it away from you. For it is more profitable for you that one of your members should perish, than for your whole body to be cast into Gehenna.

      -Matthew 5:29

      So, if the LGBTQ+ people cause them to stumble, they’ll cut them down. This is compounded by Leviticus (old testament verse they REALLY care about), which says:

      If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.

      -Leviticus 20:13

    As an antitheist, I’m fine with religion, as long as it’s only ever inflicted upon those who have made an individual conscious, non-coercive choice to be subjected to its doctrine.

    The moment it’s used to justify inflicting anything upon someone without their consent, it needs to be locked in an air-tight canister, with viewing windows, to serve as entertainment, and a warning to other vacuous ideologies.

    yeah, caring about others is VERY anti-christ. Jesus would never ever care about others.

    I’m just waiting for the day they declare that us Episcopalians and our Methodist, Lutheran, and Presbyterian that support of LGBTQ+ folks are heretics and round us up.

    No one expects the MAGA Inquisition!

    This is what America voted for, because that scary brown lady was just too ARROGANT.

    Wait until there’s no more naked people on the teeveez, and only three-two beer at your local store. The average American commuter will blame Democrats.

      It’s fair, but lets not forget the tom foolery that happened with Biden after the first debate. Add to that the religious zeal tRump’s base puts out for him.

      Biden should have stepped aside after 1 term like he promised (he really seemed decrepit) and let Harris hit the ground with good running space to seperate herself from Biden while also being able to patch up after a performance like she put on in the second debate.

    its not the job of the government to obey Christian values. its the job of the government to protect its people, and if those people are gay, the government is OBLIGATED to make their life better like any other citizen.

      In a class-based system like capitalism, the state (cops, courts, military, ICE, etc.) exists to maintain the rule of one class over another, in this case the capitalist class. American neo-liberalism has served the capitalists’ interests well for the last few decades, but it is no longer. They need to tighten their grip because they are losing ground economically (to China, specifically).

      This is when you see every effort to divide (weaken) and repress the working masses. Minoritized people and leftists are the first to be repressed - they are easy targets because the capitalists and the media outlets spend billions propagandizing the working masses to turn against these groups. This is when you see right wing reaction - as we are seeing now, not just in the US, but in many of the capitalist countries that are allies with US imperialism. This is a cycle that keeps repeating in every capitalist crisis.

      It is in the interests of the whole working class - internationally - to recognize this tactic used to divide the working masses (which will lead to even lower quality of life for all) and to instead stand up against this repression and to defend people on the receiving end of US Imperialist aggression, whether this be workers, minorities, and/or countries (Iran, Cuba, etc.).

    “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion”

    It’s right there in the first line of the Bill of Rights.
