    It’s a cult

    Seperating church and state starts by removing every Federalist Society loyalist and banning orginized religion.

      Banning organized religion is blatantly not separation of church and state, firstly. Secondly, that’s also the government telling the public how it’s allowed to peacably gather. Thirdly, Trump didn’t rise to “prominence” solely off the back of even a single “organized religion’s” doctrine. Now Buddhism or Jainism aren’t allowed to be practiced anymore because minor, puritanical, racist sects of Christianity (and the “prosperity gospel” hucksters grifting the simple and spiritual by singing the same hymns) helped raise a dictator?

      The Cult of Trump isn’t an “organized religion” and won’t be quashed by anything less than targetted removal of Trump and people that aided him. Certainly not by hiding personal grievances in the fineprint like you’re hiding dog medicine in a roll of ham.

      I’m atheist, but honestly the accuracy that trump meets every description of the antichrist, it’s insane.

        I was raised hardcore Southern Baptist and dropped that bullshit in my 20s. Seeing everything I was warned of as a kid is fucking wild to me.

          Like, why does Trump’s “magick,” whatever it is, only enchant certain people and not all of us? Why are some of us completely immune to it, repulsed even, while others of us are completely captured and mesmerized by his “spell”?

          I genuinely don’t get it, and I find it baffling, and preternaturally spooky, to be quite honest.

            Really, the simplest form of this can be broken into two groups with different views in ethics.

            On one side, the whatever is best for me is the better choice crowd. Consequences for others, hell even thinking about others, does not matter, because it’s a dog eat dog world. Others are only used as a prop for their end goal. Preservation of self interest is their only true moral code, and can be easily manipulated by framing fake arguments to support the self in any situation. This gets compounded by narcissist power hungry liars that will say anything as long as it benefits them.

            On the other side, the whatever is best for society crowd. They are less concerned about great outcomes for themselves if it is at the expense of others. The rising tide lifts all ships moral code. This requires empathy, logic and thoughtfulness. Quite simply it’s waaaay easier to be in group 1, than group 2.

        The stupid part will be America falling into civil war or some kind of violent conflict or whatever you want to call it where people start dying …

        … all because a group of cultists wanted to defend an aging orange idiot that never deserved any praise or recognition or ever had any redeeming qualities for anyone.

          That’ll be the catalyst, but it’s rooted decades of wealth inequality and oppression. Bloviating "strong"men can’t gain power in societies where most people are thriving.

      Some people’s crisis is other people’s chance. Some people just aren’t productive - they can’t shine in a productive or just constructive environment. They are attracted by anything rotten, deeply troubled, just the kind of work where intrigues, brown nosing and opportunism are rewarded and productivity doesn’t count.
