They worship money and power, the corruption is almost complete. Basically they are the empire, and we are the rebels. May the Jedi, rise again.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

I recommend reading One Nation Under God by Kevin Kruse. It’s a deep dive into the history of US capitalists intentionally corrupting evangelicals to serve capitalist political ideologies.
use what you have to to drop the orange asshole down a deep dark well far far away from the reins of power
Because Abrahamic faiths are a plague on society
They have been primed to follow the anti christ their whole lives.
Oh I don't think you get to paint the church in a positive light. It's been a very long time, if ever, since organized religion has been a positive force in the United States.
Say what you want about organized religion in the US, but without it we'd have never had the Salem witch trials. And then, where would we be?
I don't want to sick anyone too badly but it was Reagan who tricked them onto the path of evil.
(and Satan is a pretty decent cat, on balance)
Makes sense to me. Just like the most moral army in the world has a hall pass to brazenly commit genocide, bulldoze American activists, and murder journalists, so too do the evangelicals have the right to abandon all of their espoused beliefs to support a fraudster, rapey racist. All for the pursuit of christo fascism and “pro life” beliefs that only became a part of their identity in the 70s/80s
Bullshit.
Trump is not Satan.
Satan wouldn't have anything to do with that evil fucker.
