President Donald Trump is now openly embracing the conservative blueprint he desperately tried to distance himself from during the 2024 campaign.

I mean, did anyone really buy that he wasn't backing it? Sure, people argued that he wasn't but I think that was to save face, no one is truely that stupid, right?

All religions on the planet are obvious lies.

Why the fuck are there still religious people?

People lie to them about fictional gods, fictional afterlife, and fictional everything.

"Surely, no one is truely that stupid, right?"

I wish. YES! YES YES YES! Many, many, many people are that stupid. They go out of their way to prove how stupid they are every single fucking day. Then religion cuts education even more. So, they're just getting dumber by the day.

There it is!

Religious takeover of the US, by christians funding a psychopathic child rapist narcissist.

"But I'm a good christian, and I don't beleive any of that stuff!"

Fuck you, you stupid sucker. You've been funding this garbage for decades. You're the reason this shit is happening, because you just have to believe in stupid fictional fantasy gods and spread that utter trash around like it's normal.

Fuck you and fuck your god.

If you're not a religious piece of shit, then stop being around these religious terrorists. This is what they want. This is what they're after. Forcing you to believe their fictional hate religion. Or death.
