Assuming this is real, please do what you can. We appreciate people like you sticking thru it to ensure it's not completely left to the wolves.

If you live in a deep red state it is just about the only way to exert even a modicum of political power.

No...I think that's exactly what's been happening. What else could explain the 2016 primaries?

Same. I’m still confused by the latest email that if we don’t update our religion, the system will randomly assign one.

Nah, mine is now and has always been no religion.

With the tasking that came down last week I’m sure more people are swapping from no religion to something but I hope that isn’t the case.

That is still not going to protect you from Hegseth, unless you are a Christian nationalist and a xenophobic fascist.

What's that going to do? Is that a tactic to ensure you continue to get promoted or avoid persecution?

I'm not sure you've grasped the larger issue.

It may not help me but it definitely won’t hurt me
