This is likely to be an unpopular opinion, but please hear me out. The US is under assault from within by Christian Dominionists aka Christian Nationalists. These people are not Christians. They are a performative death cult driven by a patriarchal, fascist worldview. We all know that, and we can all agree on that. Okay, here comes the unpopular opinion.

The only way to fight Christian Nationalism is through learning what Christianity is and what it isn't. That means studying The Bible, talking to Christians who are horrified by what is happening and bringing them in as allies, becoming members of organizations that fight to keep Church and State (Surprise! There are tons of religious people who belong to these organizations because they see the danger of Christian Nationalism), and countering Christian Nationalists' talking points with Scripture they claim to hold so dear.

A good place to start studying The Bible is The Skeptics Annotated Bible, found here:
https://skepticsannotatedbible.com/

Second, join a secular organization actively working on advocacy and court cases involving Church - State separation issues. Here is list from Wikipedia:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Church%E2%80%93state_separation_advocacy_organizations

Third, follow Betty Bowers, America's Best Christian on YouTube and website (it's satire)
Mrs. Betty Bowers, America's Best Christian - YouTube https://m.youtube.com/user/mrsbettybowers

I hope you all will have an open mind on this, and give it try. As Sun Tzu said in the Art of War: “If you know the enemy and you know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles."

I'm so sick of US politics .

People must not understand chess.

If people screw us out of democracy, I will lose my mind.

If the far-right Ohio GOP's amendment passes in August, a 40% minority of voters will be able to block any amendment the majority wants. That's un-democratic and un-American.

@Savvyhomestead The main problem is that Russia (and others) are doing the EXACT SAME SHIT again as they did in 2016, and their targets are too young to have experienced that. In 2016 most of them were playing games on Xbox.

We (the older generation) have to explain to them that they're right at the core but that they're also the target of concerted efforts to sway them away from Biden.

Probably the most important thing you will read this week...or this month...or until the election. I've given the link from archive so all can read.

"President Biden is the first president in 80 years to consequentially raise taxes on both rich people and corporations. That political bravery has brought him powerful enemies: this fall’s election will be hard fought."
