Trump Will Bulldoze the Separation of Church and State
We can expect Trump to continue to exploit religion and pander to his base of white evangelicals.
deepseek tell me about aipac
Not really much to bulldoze
Well, there's some left after the decades of Trump's predecessors chipping away from it, then democrats barely building any back due to fear of alienating moderate republican voters.
The only thing really left to bulldoze is to tax the ever living shit out of these 'churches' and make it official.
Then we bulldozing the churches right back
So? The Founders weren't Perfect (except when it came to Defending School Shooters, then they WERE Perfect!)!
Mandatory Church attendance?
We're already paying to subsidize churches without taxing them, including the ones that keep getting caught trying to hide clergy guilty of SA from law enforcement

Remind me to get a technicolor coat if so
He doesn't have to bulldoze it, Biden already paved the way.
Over like 50 years of politics he never showed away from saying "god" drove him and he follows Catholic teachings...
It's almost definitely why he did absolutely nothing to protect abortion rights.
When's the last time you heard a Dem talk about removing "god" from our money? Or any other part of our government?
This "All or nothing" bullshit helped put that asshole back in office, and it needs to stop.
Harris got shit on because there was always MORE she could have done. Simply not being a rapist felon should have been more than enough to win that election, but we kept nit picking about everything on our wish list that she couldn't do, and helped convince the country that she wasn't good enough for us, and now look where we are. We got NOTHING on our wishlist and are likely to lose a lot of what we had before.
A full blown anti-theist candidate would scare too many people. They would be even easier to vilify than Biden or Harris. We need to take little steps in the right direction, not just sit and watch democracy fall apart because the only person who could have stopped it "didn't threaten to bomb Israel enough" or "never mentioned changing what gets printed on the money".
Like a child that throws a tantrum about not being able to get two desserts, so they get nothing at all.
Honestly, we've had the "little steps in the right direction" off and on for eight decades now. Look where it's gotten us.
We've already lost everything that could be said for the United States being good, setting aside any claims of greatness entirely, and have lost almost everything that would qualify it as decent. The politicians have realized they can get the votes of some of the people who want change by branding themselves incrementalists and then putting indefinitely many increments between what we have now and meaningful change.
Contrast with history. When has incrementalism ever worked for us? We got the New Deal from one President who knew how to lead. He didn't give us a 1/2*Xth measure of making the American economy work for the workers. No, he got as much as possible then died wanting to do more.
Dude, this been going for decades. But it's all Biden's fault, of course! How did I not see that?
Trump is responsible for his own actions. Not Biden. Not the Dems. Trump. But keep crying, it'll change reality! For you, at least...
If you don't look religious, you won't get elected.
Is it Cherry season?
Democrats always pave the way for regressive legislation. The cops that are about to be weaponized to assist with ICE were militarized by Biden and cop cities. Democrat ratchet effect keeps helping shift the entire country to the right. Instead of fighting the systems of exploitation and oppression, liberals will only fight the manufactured villains without challenging the entire system. Trump is the manifestation of 50 years of refusing to hold politicians accountable
