I haven’t forced anything on you. You have a right to speak. So do I. You have a right to your beliefs. So do I. You have a right to post those opinions on this board. So do I. You have a right to comment or ignore. So do I. You do NOT have a right to silence me because you either do not agree or do not like what I post. And I don’t have that right toward you.
So see. Nobody is forcing you to do a thing.
A right to silence you? No. A right to demand that YOUR party not impose their toxic theomythology on others by way of legislation? Yes.
When YOUR party enacts legislation backed by toxic theomythology it follows that YOUR party is forcing its toxic theomythology on others who do not believe the same as they do.
So, where does this leave us? It leaves us with the apparent and open problem that one party has shifted so far right as to become antithetical to democracy. And please don't spew some nonsense about the government being a republic. It is a representative democracy which, of course, contains contradiction. The Big Lie has not only not been repudiated by the overwhelming majority of YOUR party, it has become a bedrock principle. Again, this is anti-democracy.
The whole "Christian Nation", "Judeo-Christian Values" bullshit is simply the right attempting to force not merely its toxic theomythology on the country as a whole but to, in the long run, criminalize heterodoxy as relates to the toxic theomythology. The pseudoreligious right despises the Jew but "loves" Israel because Israel fits their toxic theomythology. The Jews themselves are simply an inconvenient problem.
So, as regards the first step in repudiation:
Did Joe Biden win the election, fairly and without fraud?
The only acceptable answers are yes or no.
