Atheism

I don't think it will take over, necessarily, but it will likely get a big boost. We'd probably see dozens of new laws favoring Christian religious beliefs at the federal level.

I think the biggest change we'll see is the ruling class getting calcified while more and more rights get stripped away from the working class to make sure we aren't able to challenge anything we don't like.

So... Like it is now, but without any room for hope.

I urge every single American reading this to organize locally. It's not too late yet, but if we sit on our hands, it will be.

anyone who doesn't expect a regime of brutal martial law to come out of a Trump administration is fooling themselves.

these people have already shown they don't care about law and order to institute their belief system on the rest of us.

what's going to stop them? congress? they'll kick out the Democrats because law and order mean nothing to them in their pursuit of power at any costs.

a full scale state-by-state civil war is increasingly likely.

Both sides are not the same. If you're not voting Biden you are voting for chaos. Full stop.

It already looks like a christofascist state to those of us that don’t live there.

But, like, I don’t live there so maybe I’m wrong. I’ve been there lots but I’m not exactly speaking from direct experience.

It's already taking over. Arm yourself.

Yes.

if it hasn't already, that is. Trump will give them anything they want because they give him he everything wants.

Trump includes evangelicals in speeches, lets them pray for him, and appoints their judges, but he mocks them in private. He apparently respects the grifters like Osteen, but thinks regular Christians are idiots.

I didn't think it will necessarily "take over," but believe it'll be double the unmitigated clusterfuck it was the first time. The difference is his mission will be to ensure there is not another election that can be held afterwards, from day one. The first time, he was just flummoxed that he got elected for a long time and figuring out how to abuse his power. Now it would be unbridled abuse without a care as to what anyone says.

No, the current group of young voters is predominantly democrat voting, and atheism is growing. This is temporary, once the boomers age out we will likely see a trend towards the left again.

I unironically blame Trump and MAGAism on lead. We still need to hold on for how plastic plays out, but I'm sure lead brain plays a huge role in the modern political climate.

I don't think whoever is in office is somehow playing into what religion people pick. This isn't Saudi Arabia or something either, our government is actually set up in such a way that radical sweeping changes aren't possible. They picked at some of our rights, but it's not like we're on our way to the gulags anytime soon.

And really the issues we're seeing have been prevalent for decades, it's not like Trump has done anything but highlighted the crazies.

I'm not saying there isn't a threat that needs to be taken seriously, and I'm not trying to down play the reality of the situation, but again, we're not on our way to the gulags anytime soon.

Trump is Putin's puppy/puppet. All Vlad wants is chaos in the West. It's not a matter of the MAGoos taking over; it's about how much trouble they can make.

Of a sort, yes.

He's not a smart man, but he has a low level of instinctive cunning. I doubt he's christian in the sense that he believes in god but he realises it's a potentially useful tool to manipulate his followers. So yes, the christo side of it will be a useful tool in his armory to help him achieve the fascist bit. That's the bit he's really interested in as it gives him perpetual power which he can then pass down to his chosen one.

They will certainly try.

They will try.

Yes it must be fought

No, I think they'll try though.

It hasn’t already? Look at the battle against women’s reproductive rights

Has trump ever even claimed to be Christian?
