    Even with removing the Christian aspect from this, it’s pretty heavy and a strong point.

    I wonder what their plan is to retell the story in 8-12 years from now when people who were effectively left behind on purpose are of voting age.

        Was really hoping to read something else. Something arguably less plausible… but something else nonetheless.

        I hope you have a good week though!

          Eh, not all of them. I have 7 brothers and sisters, all of us raised Southern Baptist and thus obviously Republican, and I think only 2 are really likely to vote regressively. A 3rd could go either way. The rest of us have seen through the BS. I know it’s only one anecdotal data point, and I suspect we’re the exception rather than the norm, but I think it illustrates that Republican policy and hypocrisy are massively unappealing to people who have a capacity for empathy and critical thinking, and thus that we’re not necessarily doomed.

      The plan is for them to not be able to vote in 8-12 years. They’re already wanting to raise the voting age.
