Who is doing that? Are you that naive? In Louisiana there was a law passed mandating the ten commandments be put up in every public school classroom which is being challenged in court.
The speaker of the house Mike Johnson put a restriction on trans female representative Sarah Mcbride from using the female bathroom because his faith doesn't agree with her lifestyle.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has stated the court should take another look at same sex marriage because it goes against his Christian beliefs.
The supreme Court just recently overturned the right to abortion based on religious arguments and some states have put very restrictive abortion laws in place.
Public schools in the deep south have banned books in school libraries because they aren't "Christian approved."
Wake up.
Those people were popularly elected by your “democracy” and now you have a problem with what they are doing, but you don’t matter at all- since the majority voted for them- that makes it right! That’s how democracy works!
The only thing protecting you from what you fear is the non-democratic, republican foundation of government in this country.
If you got your way about “no kings” and all authority was given to votes and democracy- your freedoms would evaporate in less than a decade.

First of all. None of the supreme court justices were elected, so try again. That's something that needs to change.
#2, Louisiana is a red state. I don't live in Louisiana thank God. We have red and blue states in this country. But it's seemingly only the conservative "Christian" politicians that are doing unconstitutional things.
Democracy and the people having the power is the only way you get true freedoms. Like I said, if you want to live in an autocracy there are numerous countries you can move to.
The problem in this country now is that corporations and organizations can pour an unlimited amount of money into a political candidate's campaign. We live in an oligarchy really. Elon Musk bought Trump the election for the most part by pouring over a billion dollars into his 2024 presidential campaign.

So you think Obama drone strikes and Biden censoring and mandating people for covid was constitutional?
I’m sorry but you are a walking contradiction. You want to believe you are some kind of “free-thinker” or “rebel” while you are literally a foot soldier for the outgoing establishment power that has ruled this country for the past 25 years. You are parroting main stream media talking points.
What I’m trying to point out to you is that the more power you give to government, the more government power will eventually be used against you.
Have fun with the next 11 years of big right-wing government under Trump and Vance. Maybe at the end you really will be a “rebel” lmao.

You spew right wing propaganda talking points. Baseless talking points with zero facts behind them.
