Welp, goodbye separation of church and state and other beloved founding values. The Christians got their dream come true. And I'm fucking stuck, so like, zoinks. I ain't pretending to believe anything, if I'm about to get targeted by an anti-American theological campaign, so be it. But quite frankly, the second that wall of separation is demolished, it's the second it stopped really being the US as the founders entailed. The dream is dead, the experiment is set to fail, it was great while it lasted, but of course the big red flags weren't enough to dissuade anyone apparently.
Did we really forget what happened 4 years ago? Are we seriously this blind to our past that we will repeat our mistakes? Ffs this guy ran his campaign on tariffs... Literally the worst tax reform anyone can plan as shown by history. This is literal insanity. We had a chance to fix things. But this? Really? This is the solution we chose? Someone who doesn't even hold a Bible correctly as protestors got trampled by a cavalry that was oddly absent the following Janurary? Someone who has very clearly fed into the desires of the Christian Nationalists with past picks like Betsy Devos for secretary of Education? Someone whose partner quite literally participated in a lengthy worded document detailing the empowering of the executive branch?
Is our constitution not sacred anymore? Does anyone even really care what bold minds like Thomas Paine, Benjamin Franklin, and the likes stood for or what they envisioned for our nation? My disgust in the current state of affairs is immense, my hope is diminished, wurdah ïtah officially.
On this day, let it be known that America saw the plight of itself, of its own children, of the plight of the children of both Israel and Gaza, that America saw the burning fires of the forests of Colorado and California, saw the relief that international programs like NOAA can bring to Hurricanes like Helene, and even saw the privileges, which really should have been rights, stripped of them by an out of control supreme court...
And America said,
"I don't care."
Makes sense, most of you think some magical disembodied voice will just fix any problem any way with all the arrogance of a puddle that thinks the hole it formed in was made just for it. I'm glad Douglas Adams and Carl Sagan are spared the horror of witnessing one of the world's richest nations taking such a steep turn. We can only hope the damage will be contained but such a hope is a vain one for there is no way America can just exit the world stage without massive ripples on both ends... Wurdah ïtah.
