Trump also urged Christians to turn out for him ahead of Election Day, calling it the “most important election ever.” He added that if elected, Christian-related concerns will be “fixed” so much so that they would no longer need to be politically engaged.

“You won’t have to do it anymore. Four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians,” he said.

Trump also promised to create an anti-Christian bias federal task force, as well as to defund schools “pushing critical race theory, transgender insanity, and other inappropriate racial, sexual or political content onto the lives of our children.”

    Biden, and maybe more to the point his advisors, have to understand that Supreme Court reform really has to happen before the election, because there’s too high a chance that it will be impossible after the election - that entirely regardless of the outcome, the brazenly corrupt and extralegal SC, if it can, will just hand the office to Trump anyway, then settle in to rubberstamp every single thing that he and his plutocrat backers and christofascist coattail-riders do to expand and protect their own power and privilege by destroying the rights and freedoms of the people and eliminating every part of the government that serves the interests of the people rather than their own shallow, greedy and entirely destructive interests.

    We’re in the middle of an authoritarian coup, and the linchpin to all of it is the Supreme Court completely failing to do its job of defending the constitution. If the Supreme Court was actually an ethical body of law rather than a corrupt body of ideologically-driven lies, the coup would necessarily fail (or more likely, would fail to be bloodless - more on that later). So clearly some manner of reform is necessary - the future of the country and millions of lives depend on it.

    All that said, I fully expect that if they can’t get what they want quasi-legally, Trump and the plutocrats and christofascists fully intend to use his deliberately cultivated angry, hateful and misinformed followers to start a civil war, to take what they want by force. But that bridge can be crossed later - the first order of business has to be to try to make it so that they can’t accomplish it through a corrupt and complicit Supreme Court.

      I agree. I’m hoping he’s floating the idea for congress, and then goes to the next step if nothing is done.
