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? (lemm.ee)

I never stated whether I was pro or con guns, so I don't need the lecture. I was simply pointing out that you can't just sit out an election cycle when it comes to human rights

    Call it what you want, that way of doing things hasn't seen much of any major progress since the civil rights movement. The moral high ground seems rather pointless to claim if all you're doing is watching things deteriorate from an elevated position.

    I don't see how putting human rights on hold will somehow make things work any faster, better or more efficiently. My rights as a human are up for grabs, and somehow thats me "watching things deteriorate from an elevated position"? lol, ok buddy. You're being unreasonably hostile right now so I'm disengaging. Enjoy your holidays if you celebrate them.
