    This is why I believe these people, backed by Christian billionaires, are truly after the social security savings fund. Christians are only 35% of the population (not even considering the different denominations) once they took power the economy would crash. No one wants to live under authoritarian rule. Mass Exodus. America no longer a superpower. No more tax dollars. The whole system comes down. Who profits?

      I think it’s more of a case of the dog chasing the car but having no clue what to do when it catches the car.

      For example, Dobbs repealing Roe vs Wade. The right won. Abortion could be banned. The dog has the car’s bumper firmly in its mouth. Now what?

      Some Republicans said it should be left up to the states. Some said that they wanted a national law. Some said ban abortion at 15 weeks. Some said 6 weeks. Some said, don’t charge the women. Some said arrest any woman whose pregnancy doesn’t end with a baby and try her for murder unless she can prove it wasn’t her doing.

      The dog caught the car but suddenly had no clue what to do.

      If the Republicans catch the “Christian nation car,” they’ll likely be similarly splintered. Some might want to respect our religions even though Christianity would be favored. Others would want to force everyone to convert or else. The former might wind up being just a codification of current society (which absolutely prioritizes Christianity over all others) into law, but the latter would be horrific for anyone not in the favored religious group. I’m not sure where that “dog catches car” would end up, but I don’t want to find out.

        Definitely, but at some point the people paying for the court cases must realize the futility. The republicans are dumb, but the big money backers are not.

        The problem with fascism is that it always needs an enemy, and if allowed to continue long enough, will cannibalize itself in search of one.
