Illustrations thinkers: CHURCH AND STATE SHOULD BE SEPARATED! French revolutionaries: CHURCH AND STATE SHOULD BE SEPARATED! US founding fathers: CHURCH AND STATE SHOULD BE SEPARATED!

Republicans for some reason: Yeah, I'm pretty sure our founding fathers wanted a theocratic dictatorship **source: trust me bro**

How can they get away with being so historically wrong and doing such a revisionism?

Spend 50 years dismantling public education and you, too, can get the rubes to believe whatever the hell you want.

They don’t think they’re wrong. They just think the people who tried this before didn’t do it right.
