American Democracy Being Destroyed By Theocracy by Darkprime(m): 11:50am On May 19, 2021
The RepubliKLAN party has been taken over by trump and his evangelical base. They are the ones that stormed the capital with their Jesus signs and confederate flags and the gop is now the Qanon party of white domestic terrorists. I have been watching a CNN program about how this all started back in the 1950’s and christianity played an important role in their takeover. Does anyone think we will ever get religion out of politics? Or is democracy dead? What is your opinion of the future of America?

Trump GOP is just for a time. The movement will be quenched soon..... Maybe after the mid term elections and if the Democrats retains their majority strongly... I know the conspiracy movement gets stronger each time it resurfaces but just like I the past, it will be defeated. Their silliness is just baffling.

As long as the Democrats are in power the US is screwed. Future generations of Americans will still be stuck trying to pay off their national dept. What would you rather have, christians running the country, or the the party that founded the KKK?

In the US it has always been an integral part of their politics. Name one atheist President, Vice President or leader of either house.

Like a Freemason, if you don’t profess a god, you are out on your arse.

Who the _fuck do they owe it to?

If you haven’t realised yet that “National Debt” is a banking construct with no basis in reality, I dont want to be doing your weekly budget.

They will have the right to take part in democratic elections,.. as well as the present generation, so I'll suggest you try and grasp the idea that sometimes democracy doesn't return the result you'd hoped for.... then teach that simple fact to them.

If anybody really believes that that racist, corrupt, senile agbaya received over 80 million popular votes in a "fair" election, then there's nothing left to say.

The corruption in this election will be revealed in the end, but it's way too little too late, the damage has been done.

Americans have gasoline shortages and the price of gas has gone up dramatically since the election. The first thing this mumu did was cancel construction on the Keystone pipeline, putting 700,000 people out of work.

The southern border has turned into a free-for-all, the cost of building materials has gone up over 400%, and the middle east is on fire again. Luckily they have uncle joe on top of things.

Nice attempt to reverse the burden of proof, however, I should inform you that any time you try to peddle the claim the election involved fraud, you have to evidence your claim. As we are all now aware, no evidence was presented in the 86 law suits making capricious accusations of widespread fraud.

So far all you have ever managed, is to make an unevidenced accusation, and then double down on this unevidenced claim with a second and equally unevidence claim, of widespread complicity in the claimed fraud by the judges and courts who threw out every single law suit, as unsubstantiated. Who to believe? Even the Supreme court which heard several of those law suits, and which has a majority of Republican judges, at least one recently appointed by, and an outspoken fan of Trump himself, threw out his duplicitous claims.

If you’re happy to parrot wild unevidenced conspiracies on here, then be prepared to have them subjected to the same standard as all other claims, religious or otherwise.

HbJ2: The corruption in this election will be revealed in the end,
Another pitiful claim. However no evidence has been presented, and its preposterous to imagine after 84 failed law suits, that they have such evidence.

All I see is a very vocal and angry Trump following, who simply can’t accept that the election didn’t produce the result they wanted. Fuelled by Trumps relentless lies of course. The fact he claimed publicly before single vote was cast, that he couldn’t lose unless it was due to cheating, rather suggests he was poisoning the well in advance.

Yes, President Biden seems to understand the global catastrophe of climate change facing us, unlike Trump, who risibly questioned the scientific evidence. I’m not sure why this landmark reversal of Trump’s catastrophic disregard of global efforts to tackle climate change is a bad thing though. Your "Future generations of Americans" will be thanking President Biden one day, I suspect.

HbJ2: The southern border has turned into a free-for-all
Hysterical hyperbole aside, care to offer some facts here. Let’s not forget you already misrepresented Biden and the Democratic record on national debt.

HbJ2: the cost of building materials has gone up over 400%,...
More hyperbole, I assume this is somehow directly related to Biden’s presidency? Are you going to keep us guessing? Hmmm?

HbJ2: ...and the middle east is on fire again. Luckily they have uncle joe on top of things.
Yes, it’s not like Israel and Hamas have ever kicked off before, it must be Biden’s fault. You just sound hysterical to me, like you’re grasping at things to blame Biden for, because your personal political views are so partisan.

I can’t say I’m an avid supporter, but he seems at the very least to have a tighter grasp of reality than the one term lunatic he’s replaced. Like many extremists, you don’t seem to want to accept the other political views may have any merit. Or that political opponents can have any good policies, so you decry them all, and throw in a fair amount of sophistry and rhetoric. Like your dishonest hysteria about unevidenced election fraud, I’m afraid it speaks for itself…
