Just hopping in to recommend the books. They’re seriously good and the movies don’t do them justice at all

…religious values* (values being a stand in for religious organizations
bribinglobbying) politicians to pass laws enabling discrimination.What does the word political mean to you? To take the most liberal (as in political affiliation) definition, this is the consequences of a law passed by elected leaders. This law was only allowed to take effect because an anti trans healthcare bill (also from Tennessee) was upheld by the supreme court. The contents of this article is entirely a consequence of our political process. If fascists weren’t actively promoting discrimination, this bill wouldn’t exist and this woman wouldn’t have been denied care she needed. Just because a law has the word “ethics” in it doesn’t mean it ceases to be political.
Even ignorning that, religion is political. Doubly so in America. We have politicians writing laws that religious leaders want. We have politicians writing laws alienating people due to them being non-chrisitan. We’re living through a fascist coup. Religion is a large part of fascism
