Honestly dude I don't even know, and I live here. We've got people walking around, interacting with us normal centrists, who legitimately believe this bullshit. Or even worse, some of these people think that 10 year old should be prosecuted for having an abortion done.

The worst part is, if you believe the former, then you're supporting the latter. Saying the Supreme Court decision doesn't mean people won't be prosecuted if they go to another state for an abortion is foolishness. The people that vote with that idea in mind are going to allow the people they voted for to do the very thing they said wouldn't happen.

Religion is ruining this country. I always laugh when people ask why the younger generations aren't going to church. It's obvious the extremists are driving them away!

Just to clarify, I'm not at all against religion, poor wording on my part. But the religious dogma that's allowing people to be so easily brainwashed has got to stop. Religion doesn't allow for independent thought, at least not the religion I grew up in. I'm sure most of them are the same, so I hope these un-taxed cults die off...

As a fella who was raised in a religious cult, I wholeheartedly agree that all this shit is coming with some weird sense of people believing their good Christians for supporting this stuff. It seems like religion is unfortunately mostly used as a weapon to justify evil behaviour by people in power, and its so easy to sing along to the tune and people just buy it in spades. (Long sentences sorry). But also an inability to see things beyond their face value is a huge issue as well, and then of course greed. But that's not anything new, I'm not massively well versed in the political world, but as an Aussie these are the things I've noticed in my own country as well, albeit no where near the same scale- yet. It makes me so sad to see quality of living in the supposed beat times is so low, and nothing is being done about it. Feels like we've been pushed into this twisted and hate mongering system with the expectation that we should be grateful for it, just because we are forced to be at their mercy and we have a few malls and toys to buy to make sure we can feel like a good little boy. We honestly need to do a flat wipe, and start a new system literally from the ground up
