    It's weird how the cons do nothing to try to actually appeal to (normal) voters for their platform, but instead just engage in trying to rig things in their favor.

        The con agenda holds wayyyy too much sway in relation to their actual numbers. We have six con judges in the Supreme Court. The House is wildly out of step with the American people, as well. Of course, the court is also wildly out of step with the American people on their religious makeup, as well. About 1 in 3 Americans are religiously unaffiliated, but for some reason, the court makeup is 100% people from an Abrahamic religion. I don't think even close to a third of our politicians are openly religiously unaffiliated. This country's political system seems geared toward protecting not only a conservative minority, but also upholding a lot of xtian privilege.

          If we saw what's happening in our country in another country that has a mostly foreign religion, we would think it fucked up for sure. We would see the coup for what it was, that the Taliban and Christians have a lot in common and are practically the same. They actually took away women's right to drive in one of the states. We would see people's rights being taken away left and right and the prison complex as the slave labor it is. We have to start cleaning up our messes.
