Non-religious Republicans of Lemmy, how do you reconcile your non-religious convictions with a party that bases a lot of its policies on religion? - eviltoast

E.g. abortion rights, anti-LGBTQ, contempt for atheism, Christian nationalism, etc.

    Yeah, I probably should’ve said gop and dnc, and adjusted the wording slightly.

    I would argue that any right is meaningless without 2a to back it up. Thus, any rights given by the DNC aren’t real. They aren’t worth the paper it’s written on.

      And while in most scenarios I’d agree, we’re not talking hypothetical scenarios anymore. The GOP doesn’t care about you or your rights. They made that clear when a group of them attempted a coup, and the whole did absolutely nothing to condemn it. All over losing a single presidential election. Anything promised by a group that tried to throw our entire republic away isn’t worth shit either.

      That is a far more pressing concern. Far more. Especially when any anti-2a legislation is not going to come close to surviving with this current SCOTUS.
