I know what will help, I will not vote in protest! (/s)
You could vote for RFK because he's totally got a chance to win and isn't a weirdo conspiracy theorist at all! (Also /s)
We are on the path from ruin to annihilation.
We're on a road to nowhere Come on inside Takin' that ride to nowhere We'll take that ride
There is a time and a place for David Byrne and the Talking Heads, but this isn’t it.

Welcome to the Republic of Gilead.
Yeah and we can all see it, and the fact that precisely zero appellate courts are proactively eviscerating any rulings with that sort of shit attached to it is fucking appalling.
Christianity, the mental illness everyone ignores.
Religion in general. You need to ignore logic to be religious and that is a dangerous precedent.
Worse, you need to literally deny actual reality and instead believe that magic is real. What could possible go wrong?
It makes me feel crazy that I’m just supposed to accept religion as normal and that naturally it’s protected by law.
And accept a sort of ruler that decides quite literally everything.
How unsurprising that every narcissist power hungry evil person want's to be in "gods" place.
sneaking, the same way a toddler just closes their eyes during hide-and-seek and they think they are hiding.
What I find most comical about this situation is just how little Trump actually cares about Christianity, yet his base completely ignores his track record. He'll sell Bibles because it makes him money. He'll do the Christian dance just as much as what is needed to fool his base into thinking that's a part of his moral compass.
Power and money is what drives that man, and everything else is an illusion to gain the first two.
Weird how they never quote the beatitudes.
Sneaking is doing some heavy lifting in that title.
Only surprised they're being sneaky about adding in Bible passages
