This line sent shivers down my spine. Fucking religious zealots.
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"
How about this for a reason?
Because they want to control people. Religion has always existed to control the masses and the GOP is more desperate than ever before to maintain their control over their dwindling voters.
They want a dictatorship and religion is just another means for them to seize it.
"... my country ..."
That's what caught my eye.
Conservatives have always wanted the president to be their daddy and rule over them like their daddies did when they were kids.
a reason many of them are christians, too.

Certain conservative men will visit prostitutes, and claim to stand for family values, which is laughable but if you do good at mental gymnastics you could always say that you're ready to change because you now believe in "insert conservative shit" here, or bad experiences etc.
But if you asked me, you're better off believing that anarchy is the natural order and everything from government to the police force, including your own circumstances is based off a mix of luck, non compliance, misunderstandings and merit rather than any conservativism.
Just consider that even if you believe in "planned parenthood" technically a lot of accidents had to have happened for both Usain Bolt and for you to be born, nobody's life was planned out when while you were being pushed out the end of your mothers pussy.
The scary part is that there's arguably hundreds of mini accidental Usain Bolts which you're competing with every day, even if you're one of them that was planned
I'm 14 and this is deep.
No your mum
Conservatives are authoritarian always, many of them wouldn’t blink at reestablishing the monarchy, so long as a certain orange individual and his line of bastards were in power
Just to make it crystal clear, a Christian who is being inaugurated as President will swear a solemn oath, almost certainly with their hand on the Bible, to defend the Constitution.
Joe Biden, like every President before him, including Trump, swore a solemn oath not to do what John Schneider is insisting upon.
If a President elect believed what Schneider is suggesting, he would either be unable to take the oath of office, and thus could not ever be President, or he would swear to God that he was telling the truth when he was lying.
Agreed. John is clearly expressing himself in hyperbolic, perhaps he's frustrated about something?
Because the nutjobs see it as congress can't stop them from doing anything, not that congress also can't support them.
Also because biden is Catholic and the pope would probably be mad at him making a nuclear armed theocracy
