    Five words you better hope that Congress utters if you're right:

    Sine die until Presidential replacement.

    Invoking the **Deity** to further your political or monetary aims is
    somewhat risky:

    And Jesus went into the temple of God, and cast out all them that
    sold and bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money
    changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, And said unto them, It
    is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but ye have
    made it a den of thieves.
    — Matthew 21:12–13

    One of the quickest ways for a candidate to lose me is to start quoting
    the bible, koran, etc. and build the rest of their campaign on it.

    Legit question: Why do you oppose the Democrats, then?

    This Roe reversal was 50 years of quoting the Bible and praying in the making, as the highest -- though not only -- example!

    Because the Democratic Party seems to be focused on pulling as much
    power and authority to the Federal government as possible at the expense
    of state and local government authority.

    And yet the orange monster that you voted for in 2016 and 2020 wanted to concentrate as much power to himself as possible.

    Oh, and BTW, exactly why you are a Republican support is quite intentional on the Democrats' part: There are many states, given the chance, who would murder lessers (Blacks, LGBTQ's, the useless, the non-conformant...) openly and with the sanction of
    not only government, but God Himself.

    The 14th Amendment, which repealed the 10th (and did so through a Civil War, of which the 14th was a spoil imposed upon the South), aided in this -- but it still took somewhere between 50 and 150 years to impose the civil and human rights thereon.

    Which see my second response to Ken on the post you responded to:

    That's a function that they've wanted to do the same killing of lessers they saw Trump (as a braggadocious outsider) willing to want them to do -- and this goes back to Gingrich on the Contract For/On America.

    They saw Trump as the host of America's New Reality Show: The Purge.

    Then you're stuck.

    And that's the problem with the Third Party concept in this country. Except in extremely rare cases (and not nearly enough to get any political traction (which see Independent Sanders caucusing with and two primary Presidential runs as a Democrat!),
    there isn't enough power there to gain traction.

    Hence, you are stuck with the religious fundies who invoke the Bible, etc. and so forth and so on.

    I understand you want to think differently on a lot of subjects, but, at some point, you're stuck one way or the other.
