    I remember when there was all kinds of brouhaha about how america would never ever turn into another islamic state or taliban. Seems that has been decidedly forgotten

      No this was always intended. It’s the same exact people that screamed about Barack Hussein Obama bringing Sharia law. They were always worried that he was going to introduce Islamic religious law before they could introduce Christian religious law. It was never hidden, the statements were literally along the lines of, “This is a Christian country, Sharia law is not right for us.”

      The only issue they ever had about them was they were enforcing the wrong religion. Would totally be okay with Islamic state/taliban/sharia law if it was Christian instead of Muslim.
