🎯🧵"Once the principle of religious discrimination against non-Christians is established in American law, the next step was always going to be reclassifying huge swathes of Christians as non-Christians, so they can be marginalized, too."
The winning is out of control 😡
Very troubling:
Americans’ support for LGBTQ+ rights has slid downward after peaking in the early 2020s, according to a new Gallup poll.
