    Looks like 248 years is the cutoff for a democratic United States. We’ll soon see if the Christians can contain their collective erection for destroying societies for 2 years so we can at least say 250.

      It’s actually an extremely long run for a persistent Constitution. So yes, I would bet against it

      The US has barely ever been a democracy. Women didnt get the right to vote until 1920 and Black people were barely allowed to vote until the 1960s. The US has been an apartheid state and then a plutocracy

        I don’t disagree with you, but I think my point still stands; every time the Christians make a power grab, shit hits the fan.

        There’s a reason the puritans got kicked out of Europe.

        They didn’t come here to escape “religious persecution,” they came here to continue persecuting people who weren’t their religion. Look what they’ve done to every group that isn’t them, just from a historical perspective.

        Is that what we’re gonna sit here and watch happen yet again?
