Trump said that instead of a separation of church and state, he will bring "religion back to our country."
Donald Trump signed an executive order yesterday establishing a “religious liberty commission” at the Department of Justice (DOJ) to investigate and present strategies to eliminate “threats to domestic religious liberty.”
During his comments on the order, Trump said that he doesn’t know if there’s a separation of church and state and that we should “forget about that for one time.”
if only that mattered to republicans. Heck they don't even respect things their own party did previously like fighting to free the slaves or the national parks.
Homie is basically trying bring back everything American colonists rebelled against. Kings, state religion, massive tariffs. The only missing piece is tea.
I agree with you, but i would just remove the harmful ones that indoctrinate from birth, promote segregation, treat humans as property and have legal immunity just because the justice system doesn't want to meddle with the mess that is Christian paedophilia and familial abuse. The ones that don't intend to force their belief system onto people and trust that their existence will bring people that are interested, rather than unsolicited house calls or screaming at strangers about their idea of a deity. That's attractive...
I said to a mate a while ago that I thought that trump, (really the republicans), were possibly trying to overturn the enlightenment, and make the country in to a feudal society. Restore the world of gods and kings.
At the time it was a bit of a joke, but increasingly I'm more concerned about it.
Trump's actually great at good governance. All one has to do is carefully listen to his suggestions and then do the exact opposite, and before you know it: Presto! Well-functioning highly-educated modern country with a balanced budget and booming economy.
I knew it was going to be bad, but I wasn't expecting them to go "the founding fathers were woke" so soon, they must be really confident about their grip on their brainwashed base.
I'm an exvangelical atheist and I do find myself wishing this whole administration would go rot in hell, so I guess you could say in some small way they've brought religion back to my life.
Americans especially love their civil religion.
Their events and memorials are cringe AF.
Bombastic, pretentious and grotesque narcissism drenched in a sauce of cheap sentiment.
Where the population can come together and celebrate their Americanness masturbating to an enormous stars and stripes.
