  1. No, they are being targeted for rightly speaking out.
  2. And deploying troops to cities has been found to be illegal. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/analysis-opinion/court-finds-trumps-use-soldiers-los-angeles-illegal
  3. Calvinism was in its own way “democratic” in the idea that all believers had a personal relationship with God that no worldly institution should interfere with. Sorry, this topic got me thinking…
  4. Just a guess here, but the Calvinist stress on literacy strongly connects it to the idealized version of a republican citizen. The school house is such an American thing, and it was very Protestant in origin. Through the New England churches local governmental decisions were argued over and voted on. Self government. Though other colonies had less democratic colonial governments, I know. The historical narrative of a fight against the great centralized power of Rome, which inspired many to even greater flights of freedom from Calvinism itself which was a continuing drama in American Protestantism. So that legacy inspired. Federalism is many ways reflects the way Protestant churches were themselves organized. I think Calvinism strongly influenced the ideas behind republicanism. Let’s remember the first great awakening had already taken place, and it reflected so many issues in religion that were fought over for secular reasons later, freedom of thought and freedom to organize as many saw fit. So Calvinism was “relaxed” by 1788, but its influence in many ways weighed on the founders, imo
  5. But a reminder wouldn’t have killed you. A reminder to live by the law is not treason and shouldn’t be treated as so, you can agree with that, right?
  6. The Roman’s too! Cicero was a person many of the founders deeply admired
  7. Both side?, you’re so simple. Trump ordered Pence not to do his constitutional duty in certifying the election. He has pardoned violent criminals, so yes, he has illegal orders in him. If you are actually saying Dems should not remind the military to follow the law with this criminal in the White House then you are just being blindly partisan. How dare the Dems offer a reminder! Do you actually think they committed treason? Again, you jump to attack Dems for their reminder to follow the law but nothing about your prez issuing death threats.
  8. Yes, but in fairness...Biden and that Laptop, so, ya know...or something 🤷‍♂️
  9. Well, not much different from Trump paying welfare to the farmers his policies ruined with tariffs
  10. What do you think of Trump doing this? Oh Yup
  11. Student loan forgiveness is a really good idea, so good even Trump has to acknowledge it.
