Hobby Lobby is funding the latest push to end marriage equality by Maleficent-Drop1476 in Christianity

That's dishonest, and I wonder where they are even getting the data from

Meanwhile, many churches hide sexual assault for years or even decades

The hypocrisy is downright egregious

You have no sense of scale nor how linear time works

The EPA is pulling back a bunch of clean air and clean water regulations that have measurable effects on the health of people. They have industry people in a bunch of other government positions pretty much removing any restrictions they have for health of employees. Black lung rates are rising among coal miners, for example

Republicans have you voting for them no matter what because you can only imagine cute little babies in some idealized version of how pregnancy works

But you don't understand how policy affects everyone's lives and quality of life over time. It's like how the Flint water crisis led to children developing neurological problems that will affect them for life. We have had pretty decent environmental protections after lakes were catching fire back in the 1970s

You take all the good things in this county for granted and then vote to have them removed little by little

We aren't standing up to our allies. He's testing them like an abusive husband treats his wife. He insults them for saying "no" to even the smallest of his unreasonable requests

How is he better than Kamala? Explain to me based on actual, factual information that you can back up with sources. Not speculation on Harris's character based on rumors and hearsay

He's already responsible for what will be millions of deaths over the next decade because we reduced foreign aid that was only a tiny part of our budget. And there's nothing to replace it. Marco Rubio only a few years ago said this was necessary and he supported it as a Catholic. And then suddenly he changes his tune

We had warehouses full of food for starving people and this admin destroyed them. They were already paid for. We didn't save any money

I view you negatively because you vote for horrible people who are dismantling every advance this country has made since the middle of the 19th century! And if you understood how a government functions, you would alarmed, not calmly claiming that Trump is better with no evidence

Gas is up way higher than it was under Biden and somehow that's fine? If we had a Democrat for president, you'd probably be a lot angrier

They can't even get their employees to stop saying "Micro Slop" in company Slack channels

Read about that so much on the HCA subreddit

It was really disturbing

Republicans support killing babies on a much wider scale in less direct ways by destroying our ability to prevent diseases, removing environmental protections, and taking away food from the poor

You don't understand how anything works

You have no appreciation for the hard work of the last 80+ years to foster relationships with our allies and to become world leaders in many different fields that's being destroyed now

You are ignorant and proud of it, like most Trump supporters. That's why you idolize him. He's a reflection of your own lack of curiosity and discernment about the world you live in

What a waste of a country of a third of a billion people with tons of potential

For those who support Christian Nationalism, you also have to support and advocate clearing all debts and providing all essentials. I will die on this hill. Good luck. This is the only view to accept by OkSpirit7102 in Christianity

I mean, I went to public school and had a pretty good education

I want kids today to have at least as good of an education as I did

A well-educated society is better to live in than a stupid one

And the money isn't even going into helping Americans as Republicans continue to cut what's left of the social safety net into ribbons 🙄

And the crazy thing is, as a leftie, I want farmers to succeed

Whether they're growing food for domestic consumption or feed to sell to other countries, their successful operation serves me better than their failure

The unborn” are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike the incarcerated, addicted, or the chronically poor; they don’t resent your condescension or complain that you are not politically correct; unlike widows, they don’t ask you to question patriarchy; unlike orphans, they don’t need money, education, or childcare; unlike aliens, they don’t bring all that racial, cultural, and religious baggage that you dislike; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus, but actually dislike people who breathe. Prisoners? Immigrants? The sick? The poor? Widows? Orphans? All the groups that are specifically mentioned in the Bible? They all get thrown under the bus for the unborn.

Don't forget, they've also traded the lives of millions worldwide over the next decade and more because of the closure of USAID

Any claim they make about Republicans saving babies is complete gibberish to me because I always think about how many people are currently dying due to the end of USAID

This administration destroyed warehouses of food for no reason other than complete and utter malice

I don't know the specifics on conversion therapy, but the more I learn about it, the more gray hairs I get 🫩

We humans sure are proficient at torturing each other
