    It’s Christians voting for Trump and the ones that have their panties in a wad over trans and LGBTQ+. Remind me again why Democrats don’t think taxing the churches is a good idea.

      Neither side wants to tax the churches. If you piss off the churches, they’ll tell their people who thay should vote for. The church has ultimate control of vast amounts of people in the U.S. conditioned to blindly believe whatever they tell them.

        So in other words, nothing will be different?

          True. This already happens to some decent extent, but they’re honestly afraid to weaponize it. There are lots of churches out there that aren’t as deep right, but it’s easy not to tax them and FAFO.
