And it won’t stop with the LGBTQ. They won’t stop until they’ve destroyed everything that doesn’t fit their specific version of religion.

I see it the same way I see the lead-up to the holocaust: an effort to scapegoat a minority group and divert the outrage of a downwardly mobile middle class away from wealthy capitalists

We have to destroy them first

Just remember, this shit started a year or 2 ago with “We must protect the children” (the current attacks, before I get well achkshuallay’d. yes I know this shit inherently goes back to Reagan, and more)

They got their foot in the door getting “controversial” stuff out of elementary schools, and immediately seized on that to get their undesirable content out of middle, and high school, and even colleges and public libraries.

“For the children” has always been, and will always be, nothing more than an authoritarian attempt to push through power grabs and democracy undermining legislation.

Once they’re finished with a scapegoat, they have to start looking for the next one.

I’ve wondered for awhile what it would look like if they managed to succeed in a religion-based takeover of the USA. I figure the dominant force in the world’s varieties of Christianity being Catholicism would have some influence (and since the Pope has more money than God) so it’s entirely possible that the “one true religion” ruling the country would end up being Catholicism and there would be a lot of really disappointed Protestant fascists.

EDIT: also I was thinking that’s the more likely result as the majority of SC justices are Catholic currently
