So out of touch with his constituents.
Or maybe he doesn’t care.
Pick one.
It’s they (plural), but no. They’re very in touch with their constituents. This is performative. It doesn’t matter if it actually goes into effect (in fact, it’s probably better for them that it doesn’t). It just let’s them say they’re fighting for Christian values and “the liberals” are against them.
Yeah, they could probably get more support from the people by doing actual good things, like taxing the ultra-wealthy more, bringing down the cost of living, and things like that. They are being paid to not do this though, so they have to do performances like this to keep people voting for them. They change it from “we’re trying to help you” into “we’re fighting evil.” It’s all bullshit, but it wins elections.
As much as some of the school districts absolutely want this, they also understand it’s unconstitutional and would be open to lawsuits. Easier and cheaper to say fuck off.
Republicans: Sharia law bad, Christian law good.
Irony is dead.
Wasting time is the point. They can’t deal with the hundreds of problems our society is faced with everday because the solutions go against their belief system. So they waste all their time on bullshit like this and of course passing whatever law or policy their corporate overlords demand.
I want them to go full-steam with the bible stuff like they did during the GWB years, back when the kids learned the 10 commandments and Jesus’s teachings and then started asking “hey why don’t our leaders hold up to this? why doesn’t my teacher/priest/president hold up to these rules?” and that’s when they got rid of them.
Well, they either learn the basics and ask why they don’t live up to those rules or they learn the deeper parts and realize how fucked up and stupid it all is. Either way it’s a win.
Isn’t that what the pledge of allligance is?
No that’s anti Communist indoctrination.
Done with prayer, under God.
