Where to learn to be a huge hypocrite, and that "God's an anti-vaxer," and other dangerously stupid things.

@ProPublica Has there ever been separation between church and state in the US? Certainly it's a a whole new crazy level in Trumpistan!

@ProPublica That is no surprise as they are funded by billionaires like Peter Thiel. Not surprising but still scary as hell

@ProPublica The USA: A Nation founded on religious freedom, is now becoming a Christo-Fascist white-controlled ethnostate. I'm sure the founding fathers will be spinning in their graves come thanksgiving.

I think "churches" must be heavily regulated. Unless they have the sole purpose of social welfare programs they can NOT get tax-exempt status at all. It's disgusting how rich they have become by whining about persecution. What this "church" is doing is blatantly illegal. Every Christofascist "Supreme" must be removed because they don't work for the rule of law and citizens. They work for their sick cult.

@ProPublica Texas has extremists of type, kind, sort, and description. Along with the mostly normal people.

@ProPublica Yeah like Josh Hawley thinks Christofascism is the ultimate shoe of devotion to Jesus.
KKKonservatism should be outlawed.
