    I think your problem is that you think your tribe is objectively correct.

      The overwhelming majority of the country does as well, given the popular vote going back to the 1990s.

      And we do live in a democracy, don’t we? So in a democracy, if the majority of people support a thing, should the government support it or forbid it? I doubt you’ll directly answer this question.

      But I think you should spend some time to contemplate these ideas without asking someone else what your opinion should be.

      If you were to answer, I would be curious which talking point you’ll use to justify that the minority of people (Christian Conservatives) should command the majority (literally anything else).

      And bad news for you, the majority is growing, not shrinking. And the new generations are abandoning religion at an even faster rate than the current generation. Eventually (at current rates this will likely become vastly apparent by 2028/2032) not even the electoral college will be able to suppress us.

      Good luck.
