If the Democrats win, it is imperative that they strengthen the separation of church and state or we are just going to keep seeing this show every four years.

If they win, they need to fortify a lot of things. Let's hope they win down the ballot. She needs congress to back her up, before the US experiment is just a memory.
@CinnamonGirlE far more likely that Congress will be GOP. This country loves to create its own gridlock while the rich people laugh their asses off.
@MidnightRider @CinnamonGirlE There's public polling but each campaign has internal polling too.
Back in the 2022 "red wave" election the Republicans dumped dozens of Republican-favorable polls into the public pool in the final weeks of the election. They're doing it again this time. Why? Because they're losing. It's voter suppression.
A Trump campaign internal poll leaked. It's bad news for Trump.
So don't lose heart and definitely don't trust the lying public poll numbers.

I never trust polls. They can say whatever anybody wants. I am heartened to see the large amount of voters coming out early. So 🤞
@CinnamonGirlE @MidnightRider On the point of blaming religion though, I think the situation is a bit more complex. Whenever religion, and by this I specifically mean Christianity, becomes dominant in a society to the point of influencing government affairs, it becomes corrupt. Or rather, corrupt people who want power abuse it. That's what we're seeing again.
Separation of church and state is important but a better solution is for authentic christianity to root out the corruption.
@danielbsmith @MidnightRider
I wish they would. The anger I feel when I see churches supporting him 🔥
As someone who grew up in church and can understand the good they can do; it's beyond disappointing to see what they chose instead.
