The Republican Utopia

So.....just so I'm clear here.  It's OK to take your cattle to federal lands, let them graze, don't pay grazing fees, organize a militant revolt against the federal government and purposely burn federal land putting more property and lives in danger when they come to force you to leave.

And....it's NOT OK to hold protests in communities around the US where local police are shooting unarmed black people.

Just needing to confirm where we are at in this country.

Just one more bit of clarification.

The Republican party DEMANDS people support and respect law enforcement because...you know...Blue Lives Matter......well....unless you're being investigated by federal law enforcement as a member of a Republican administration or a rancher who illegally grazes federal lands and all your friends come to save you with their guns pointed at federal agents.

i.e. unless you're White. Reminder: "Strong borders, no crime."

I think your first paragraph can be summed up as it's ok to be treasonous against the US.

Here ^^^^ it is folks, the beginning of America's christian theocracy.  Where non-whites, non-christians, immigrants, and LBGTQIA are all going to be targeted for abuse, harrassment, jail, and even killed.

A long time ago I told every single one of you what the christian right ultimate goals were.  This is the beginning.  It is time for every straight, cis person on this board to do more than just say you support LBGTQIA people.  Now is the time to call your elected representative, multiple times, and let them know that this bulls#!t is not only not right, but grossly violates the 1st Amendmemt and long standing history of separation of church and state.

If you truly believe in equal rights for everyone, if you truly believe that LBGTQIA people should be free to live their lives without being bullied, threatened, harrassed, jailed, or killed...if you truly believe in equality, now is the time to get involved.  

This is a fight that gays, lesbians, transgender, non-gender conforming, non-binary people...we cannot win this fight on our own any more.  Not with this corrupt, racist, bigoted, neo-nazi regime in power.  We need your help now more than ever.

Christians have all the power in this country. If you wanted to be elected as a politician, you almost have to be Christian or pretend to be. They're not a persecuted group although they think they are. I don't trust this at all due to who it's coming from and I fear what it could lead to. They're creating in it the name of protecting religious freedom but in reality it's obvious they only want to protect Christians. This isn't being created because they care about religious people who are actually persecuted in the U.S.

All of that said, they haven't violated any amendments. All you've given is this quote. Nothing's actually been done. Also, Sessions could be gone within the next 2 years in 5 months. I know that seems like a long time but this can be stopped by the next head of the Justice Department.

And a variety of legal scholars have said it’s unconstitutional. I’d love to hear what the Supremes’ view of it is.

Can you let me know who they are?  I'm interested in reading about their arguments and why we should hold their opinion in higher regard than the four judges that have ruled that it is constitutional.

Waiting is a luxury we don't have.

Sessions, Trump, Pence...they're not going anywhere.  Democrats at the national level are, from what I can see, completely incompetent.  I sincerely doubt they'll win enough seats in Congress in the mid-term elections to make any differences.

I'll add more to this when I have more time...

Then there is nothing you can do except start shooting people. Voting them out is pretty much our only option. Calling representatives might help a little but GOP reps have shown they won’t go against much that Trump does.

Also, calling a rep complaining the way you are in this post will make you sound crazy. They haven’t even done anything yet. You’re just going off how you assume it will be used. I do agree it’s only going to be used to help Christians. More specifically it will probably be used to help Christians persecute others, e.g. gay people.

I honestly don't know why/how Cruz ever won a primary. He is the most smarmy politician I've ever seen and that includes Bill Clinton and John Edwards (#1 and #2).

On top of that he's butt-ugly.

Even though I am republican by trade, I'm voting Beto over Cruz. It is quite impressive to see the flip of the script and Beto's closing in quickly. Just last week, he was within 4% points of Cruz.

Several months ago I thought he had the chance simply because he was doing decently considering it's Texas and he still had a lot of time for more people to know who he is.
