I’m getting somewhat sick of Christian Nationalist trolls running the US government.

Nothing can be done about it, so (shrug) praise the Lord and pass the Shell 93 octane, I guess. Can't fight a hundred-million strong cult.

  • There are many more non-cult people in the US, but they don't vote enough.

    As long as the government is captured by Capital, however, it's hard to make the case for them to "vote harder".

  • No idea what you guys are talking about. The Christian faction of the right has waned significantly since the Bush presidency.

    • In the “I don’t see how this connects with the teachings of Jesus” sense I agree.

      In the self labeling as “Christian”, sense not so much.

    • The current administration is not remotely shy about proclaiming its interest in a Christian theocracy.

    • Given the level of involvement the Heritage Foundation has in the current administration, I think you're absolutely wrong.

  • Well you absolutely can but the next opportunity isn’t until 2028.

    • > next opportunity isn’t until 2028

      There's an election every year (including special and midterms). The fight is annual and it's completely unfair to believe it's a quadrennial event and lead others to believe the same. Participate in your local elections. It's where all of this starts. The national is mostly noise that bubbles up and out.
