[@ellicel]

It's important that even the pretense of it is entirely gone. The ideal that no one was above the law was imprinted on our American self-identity, even if not in fact. Despite the sheer openness of Trump flouting the law, politicians and the media were either gleefully cheering him on or afraid to stand up to him. The American public made a conscious choice to side with wealth and power. Where in the past the system was rigged against the common man, we could all agree at least in principle that it shouldn't be. That's no longer the case and clever people will exploit that sentiment to the extreme before (or even if!) voters wake up to what's happened. By then, as Devin said, it will take decades to get back to baseline.

[@lagoon7389]

Separation of church and state is nowhere in the constitution. It's literally a myth. You're a fool if you think the beliefs of the people don't influence government.

[@hamisyummers8664]

@@malpercio123 Yeah... So if you're governing solely based on religious beliefs... what does that tell you?

[@malpercio123]

@hamisyummers8664 Most policies need to be based on a philosophy, and therefore are bordering on many religious ideas already. It's impossible not to have religious overtones to law, (either theist or secular humanist) because our worldview shapes our metaphysical view of morality. Yet the pope is not governing, nor is the protestant church, nor any other governing church body. Rather certain values are being brought forth from a Christian worldview and enshrined into law. This is not a church telling you you must believe in Jesus, but a simple moral rule, no different than the laws against manslaughter and murder. I'm not condoning anything in project 2025, I still dont really understand what it is yet, but it seems to me that a church needs to be in government for it to be a fusing of church and state. I believe most of the founding Father's wrote the constitution entirely from a theistic worldview, making it seem like they defined church and state differently than we do today.

[@Jito463]

I love when people bring this up, but they have no understanding of the history or meaning of the phrase. Can you tell me what part of the Constitution includes the phrase 'separation of church and state', or any variant thereof? Go on, I'll wait. While I'm waiting, I'll proceed by enlightening you on what that phrase *actually* means. It's a warning against the government interfering in the affairs of the church (using that in the broad sense, not in regards to a particular denomination), not the other way around. No, we do not have state sponsored/run churches - though many colonies did have them prior to the ratification of the Constitution, and even for many decades after - but that doesn't mean the church has no say in the affairs of government. Just a little history lesson for you. Oh, and if you haven't figured it out by now, that phrase exists absolutely nowhere in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the Declaration or Independence, or any other founding document. It was penned in a letter by Thomas Jefferson, and he was talking about protecting churches from the government, not the other way around.

Problem is, most of the people who are targeted by Trump's stated goals are people who would find it difficult to impossible to legally emigrate - people with disabilities, for example, are hugely roadblocked or disqualified from emigrating to most countries (especially ones with the infrastructure to actually see that they get the care they need), especially because having a serious disability makes it much more difficult to have a qualification for a desired skill. Even if you have a desired skill, it's possible that you'll be knocked back on the basis of your disability or the disability of a family member who would be coming with you.

If you're billionaire, the economy is awesome; if you work for a living the economy is crushing you. Not that I think Trump will, or even can, fix it.
