Can we just stop with the "Democrats should just murder Republicans since the SC said Trump can do it" bullshit.

If you disagree with it, why the fuck are you guys constantly trying to further legitimize it?

Stop acting like once we do that it's just going to be smooth sailing instead of a giant cesspool of global instability.

The meme is dead. It's done.

Malicious compliance needs to be used FAR more often in the context of how deeply corrupt and blatantly partisan the Supreme Court has become. That’s the underlying gist of my point.

You’re right, the satanic temple has never been successful at eliminating religious favor from government policy by overtly using religious law to do something shocking.

There is a very clear difference between advocation of murder and creating after school Satan club.

The point is to remind them when they push evil, that same evil can be used against them. They know it's not a legitimate threat. But they also need to keep that in the back of their minds because these same people are the ones that say "without religion, what's stopping people from raping and murdering everyone?"

Using logic is not going to work, though.
