I don't get why a such law took so long, but late is better than never.

It's the bible belt. Those people don't think with their brains. Actually, they sometimes don't think at all. Welcome to America! Where we tore down a beautiful land, full of lush trees, running rivers, breathtaking mountains, and sprawling deserts, in exchange for strip malls, churches, dry ravines, mountains of garbage (both figuratively and literally), and casinos.

You're seeking morality from a nation who twice elected an open racist. Your expectations of this country are too high. We are trash. And I won't change my opinion until society does better.

Don't forget a rapist and felon!

It makes me sad that you're talking about our president, and you aren't wrong.

When I was a kid, I remember the standard was that if you were really good in school, got perfect grades, and worked hard to achieve your goals you might have a chance to be president one day.

Then W Bush became president. Suddenly mothers had no leg to stand on saying you need to be smart. It's like that old Tennessee saying, I know it's it in Texas, probably in Tennessee too, fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice...shame on....uh.....shame......can't get fooled again!

And just like that, idiots can be president. Everybody thought the presidency reached the floor, and it couldn't get any lower.

Ah, innocent times.....

We had had no idea that bedrock was the goal. Now you don't even need to be a decent person to be president. We have those close to trump saying things like "empathy is a weakness". And once again, it feels like the presidency can't sink any lower. But we've felt that way before, so I'm afraid to think that way again. As they will continue to amaze and astound us with new innovative ways to descend our nation into dizzying new lows.

Honestly at this point, I'm 50/50 on the fence on whether or not total destruction is the plan, or if literally nobody has any idea what the plan is.

Maybe they only have concepts of a plan.
