If Article II and the National Emergencies Act are such magic wands, the next Dem president should: ✅ Make D.C. & Puerto Rico states ✅ Abolish ICE ✅ Grant citizenship to immigrants ✅ Disband the 5th Circuit ✅ Expand SCOTUS Why. The. Hell. Not.

Evangelicals never engage with religious doctrine because 1. It doesnt matter so long as you accept christ, 2. Reading is woke, and 3. God's chosen arent bound by the laws of man The Bible thus becomes a weapon but not something to be adhered to so long as youre in the in group

It makes sense because to evangelicals works and deeds dont matter. All you have to do to get into heaven is "accept christ" It makes it so Christian is more of a social identity than a religious one: the specifics of one's behavior dont matter as long as you "love christ"
