The 100 Evangelicals At Dinner Are Public Enemy #1. Won't Quit Until Get Theocratic Dictatorship. [View all]

The evangelical group that met with Trump are every bit as dangerous as ISIS or the Taliban. They fully intend to run the government and the country THEIR way. Now it probably is not really possible that they could take over. But we never thought someone like Trump could ever get elected. Nor did we ever believe that we could face a radical and rogue ultra right wing SCOTUS with a possible 7-2 advantage that could find a lot of their crap constitutional.

When you look at all the religiously based laws being proposed in GOP controlled states it should wake up voters who do NOT want tone told how to worship. Could we go back to the days where Sunday church was mandatory? Doubt it. Then again?
