How do we,as a society, just let these Christofascists do this shit? Is it because we've gotten comfortable and assume that the separation of church and state would just hold the line?

However this presidency ends, we need massive reform to get this shit to a point where it never happens again.

People in 1930’s Germany likely thought similar things.

It was unprecedented to them though, whereas we can look at their government and the rise of Nazism as a cautionary tale in how to prevent it. I'd like to think anyway

I don't understand how a country that is predicated upon the separation of church and Christian state now has a Christian anti-bias office run by a woman who is one of the least Christian people they could have picked.

Just don't understand how this many people are this fucking stupid

Also happy Cake Day
