Bleak FutureFeb 24, 2023

At least in Margaret Atwood’s novel the radical religious terrorists used guns to overthrow our government.

In the real version we’re literally electing them to office. I feel that not enough folks read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.

They’re taking over state and local legislatures, councils and boards.

Christian Nationalists and Dominionists are absolutely a threat to our democracy.

They’ve had this plan for decades and now they’re enacting it. This is a clear and present danger.

@bleakfuture There are groups out there that are fighting against this tsunami of extremist xtian creatures, such as https://www.au.org There are others, but AU has had significant success getting extremist legislation and school board initiatives into court citing violations of the principle of separation of church and state and winning these cases. A lot of the extremist BS goes on at the local level, so what AU is doing typically flies under the media radar. They're worth supporting.
Americans United for Separation of Church and State

The separation of church and state guarantees religious freedom, a fundamental American right promised by our system of government.

@bleakfuture Wonderful! With groups like AU taking these horrible xtian facists to court and the rest of us keeping a close eye on every local election and voting, we can make a difference.
