    It would be adorable if it wasn’t dangerous :/ they use the founding fathers and constitution in the same way they use Jesus and the Bible - as a reason to hurt others and stop progress

      And it’s funny in the wtf way because the founding fathers were against religion being involved in the governing of the nation. They codified that crap! And yet, these idiots keep trying to claim it’s a Christian nation and we need god back in everything.

      You’re of course correct and I can only be playful about it because of my privileged position of being outside the US. I get that it fucking sucks from the inside.

        You have no idea, hombre. They’ve slow boiled us like crabs to the point that 50% of the population is bragging that they have a hot tub while not realizing that they’re already cooked.

        Just remember if we fail we will bring everyone down with us. So just because you live outside the US doesn’t mean you can make silly jokes about silly Americans because the people who think that sunscreen bad and founding fathers = gods also vote for people who think democracy is bad and fascism good. So when our democracy fails the whole entire planet will suffer, including you

          Oi, no one said that people on the outside aren’t worried either. Also, it’s not like European countries aren’t on the same trip towards fashism.
