Fiscal Repubs now must "pay up" to religious ones

For so long the chamber of commerce repubs that only care about low taxes and low governmental regulations have used the religious zealots to be their foot soldiers. Many of these very wealthy mostly older white men are now worried that they have to pay the piper. These are people that are not anti abortion or anti gay. In fact, some have paid for abortions and some are gay or have gay family and friends. But to win elections, they needed the anti black, women, gay, choice, etc etc to win elections and keep their low taxes. But now, due to Trumps SCOTUS, the religious right has the POWER and they want a Christian Taliban Theocracy.
That is not what fiscal Republicans want.
They just want low personal and corporate taxes.
So, what happens next?
We are living in unbelievably insane times.

They are dreaming if they think the SC isn't going sell them out for ideological purity.

Hell is empty and the devils are all here.

There are many religions to be worshiped, and some don't partake in the one the SC is thinking of.

Let the circus begin.
