Better to have theocracies in the Middle East than democracies.

Hell,we can't successfully pull of our own democracy, who are we to tell uneducated arabs and Persians how to live?

Islam is apt for those people.

The problem arises in that we are undergoing a theocratic takeover in the U.S. , that is why the military is being commanded to deify Trump.

And, America is supposed to be a secular educated country, even if the current administration is not the case.

Trump most certainly is "secular."

Hell, i bet the last time he got his hands of a bible was for that photo op a few years ago when he marched to that church near the white house.

No, the fat oaf is basically an atheist who rode to power via hypocrisy, surrounding himself with a slew of goof balls who would never have gotten their current assignments otherwise.

Simply...amazing, but not in a good way.

Oh well, this nightmare can't last forever...

This is a great post. I’ve detailed my wife’s best friend, an Iranian now an American citizen, and as ‘American’ as you or I. I know she hates the present regime. But maybe not enough to want American/Israeli bombs to be what changes the regime. Sadly, it seems only force has a chance. Protests just end in the deaths of protesters.

Trump is not secular. Sure, he is not religious personally. But, he has done more to tear down the wall between church and state than any President in the last 100 years.

He may be an atheist personally, but he tied his power to Christian extremists. So he certainly is not secular.

This is the most theocratic government the U.S. has ever had. Trump empowers them because of their loyalty.

Does your wife's friend know that you hate her religion?

An insurrectionist doesn't get to call Dems disloyal.

I agree entirely; I was talking about his personal beliefs, not about the steps he'd sink to to cling to power.
