Seems to me to be a timely task to follow in the heels of the 1/6 hearings.
Any ideas?

(9,037 posts)And you want to do this in America?
And you think that has a happy ending. For anyone.
Sometimes I almost - almost - appreciate this kind of naked authoritarian impulse out in the open.
I have one idea though.

(8,755 posts)My thought was for the USA to take a hard look at a minority political movement (Christo-fascism) that is gaming our Constitution, Bill of Rights, and body of laws to the degree that freedoms are removed at present and the nation (and Planet Earth) is at risk over the long term.
I am specifically not going after Christianity nor religion in general. Many Christians do not like Christo-fascism (like the many Christians that are Christians and vote Democratic). A majority of Americans are for separation of Church and State (as is our political system allegedly).
Think you misread me.
Agree it is a loaded topic. Do not agree that it is Authoritarian if done well. We could benefit from a national discussion about what separation of Church and State entails at present.

What if a cult practices sedition?
Religions that systematically practice pedophilia evolve out of that belief or become criminals, as an example.

Make it about existing laws. Make it about fascism. Do what the 1-6 committee is doing.
Do not ever, ever make it about Christianity; you and I will be dead.

Not saying this is an easy proposition or even any positive outcomes, we could even end up a theocracy (but doubt that).
