A quotation from Robert Ingersoll
To Paine, Jefferson, and Franklin, are we indebted, more than to all others, for a human government, and for a Constitution in which no God is recognized superior to the legally expressed will of the people.
They knew that to put God in the Constitution was to put man out. They knew that the recognition of a Deity would be seized upon by fanatics and zealots as a pretext for destroying the liberty of thought. They knew the terrible history of the church too well to place in her keeping, or in the keeping of her God, the sacred rights of man. They intended that all should have the right to worship, or not to worship; that our laws should make no distinction on account of creed. They intended to found and frame a government for man, and for man alone. They wished to preserve the individuality and liberty of all; to prevent the few from governing the many, and the many from persecuting and destroying the few.
Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
Lecture (1873-12) “Individuality,” Chicago Free Religious Society

"Hindutva religious extremists attacked the Tirupati book exhibition on February 8 Saturday evening. In protest against this attack, under the leadership of the 'Tirupati Book Lovers’ United Forum,' poets, writers, book lovers, and representatives of several public organizations held an impressive demonstration on Tuesday evening.
It may be recalled a similar attack on a Veekshanam Book stall, by Hindutva hoodlums had taken place at Hyderabad Book Fair a few weeks ago, on Dec 29, and it was widely condemned."
I wonder when the infightings will start: on one Side you have the #oligarchs Who basicaly own #msm and control informations, the #theocrats Who want God in charge (when they realize they've been conned), the #federalistssociety, the #neonazis, many interests that don't necessarily meet in the end.
Maybe my view is a little naïve?
#dictatorship for thee, #liberalDemocracy for me.
How else does one govern savages 😉
Those poor #liberals are now shell-shocked as the weeds they showered far and wide across the periphery now invade the centre; and metropolis after imperial metropolis falls to #fascists, #neoNazis, and all kinds of weird #theocrats.
Naturally, who else but #Putin has the chutzpah and the supernatural ability to achieve this. /s
Theocracy is being implemented in America. The GOP is following the playbook of the Taliban.

"According to Parker, because 'human life cannot be wrongfully destroyed without incurring the wrath of a holy God, who views the destruction of His image as an affront to Himself.' …
Whatley has been outspoken about using politics to translate his religious beliefs into public policy."
"On February 16, Alabama's highest court ruled that frozen embryos are 'children' — entitled to the same legal protections as an infant or a third grader. This was based on a religious conviction of when life begins. In a concurring option, Alabama Chief Justice Tom Parker stated that the decision is grounded 'theologically based view of the sanctity of life.'"
Judd Legum notes that as Trump has chosen North Carolina Republican Party chair Don Whatley as RNC chair, we need to look at the official policy statements of the NC Republicans:
"The position of the North Carolina GOP under Whatley on embryos mirrors a recent decision by the Alabama Supreme Court."

The #Alabama #embyro ruling will be a backdoor to banning #abortion nationwide. If a days-old #blastocyst outside a womb is considered a person, then logically so must a blastocyst inside the womb. This #scotus would like love to make that landmark ruling.
We have to win the white house, win both branches of congress, then immediately expand and pack scotus with judges who can counter the #fascist #christian #theocrats currently dominating the bench.
#GOP : "Please vote for us. We pinky-swear we are not the #AntiAbortion #theocrats that we have already shown ourselves to be. You can trust us, obviously, but don't trust us based on what we've previously said, trust us on what we're saying now, at least until the #election is over."

Sorry I didn't read the whole post carefully. I did not mean to be dismissive of the threat of far right #extremist #militias, white #nationalists, and #theocrats.
They are gaining power. That's extremely worrisome. They have gained so much power, primarily because of #ElectoralCollege, which gives voters in some states 10x the power of voters in some other states. Also #gerrymandering and voter #suppression.
We need one person, one vote, with simple majority prevailing
Vote them out, every last one of them, every last election! They are #Theocrats, #Autocrats, #Kleptocrats and, most importantly, participating members of #Kakistocracy and #Fascism in America. Be sure to Google #Project2025 , educate yourself and others about it, and destroy the #GOP 's plans for America's demise. #Politics 2/2
I don’t think it is going too far to say #SpeakerJohnson a religious extremist, or even a bigot. He’s way outside even the extreme range.
And the Republicans are cool with that.
Anyway, you can see why the #theocrats are so excited. They got one of their own in power with #Johnson and they are expecting to have results and quickly.
Give a theocrat an inch and they will take a cubit.
If anyone was curious about what Y’all Qaeda would do if they got power, watch this Speaker closely. He’s all for taking away rights from anyone who is not like him: straight white cis male xristian.
I’m waiting for the #theocrats to say that going to war for #Israel is great because #Armageddon, but you know, while sending money to #Ukraine is bad because they are all for #Putin.
⬆️
That’s true. Apparently Ronna ROMNEY McDaniel is worried about losing the #theocrats! (Seriously, where else would they go?!)
I want my #daughter to have rights, #granddaughter to have rights and the future generations of Americans to have rights to abortion. #Theocrats #Religiuosconservatives #MAGATs all of you can go fuck yourselves.
People are born with rights, it’s governments and religious nuts that take them away.
