So you want things to go your way. That's not really how a republic, or even a democracy, actually works.
- mschuster91 4y agoThe US Constitution, the German Grundgesetz or the French Fourth Republic's Constitution all prescribe some sort of laicism - even the Turkish Constitution does so, following Atatürk's work many decades ago. It's time for societies to actually follow their principles and constitutions and get religion out of the way in politics - but most certainly not to roll back centuries of progress in ridding the world of religion. Erdogan's Turkey is rapidly devolving into a horrible mixture of nationalism and radical Islamism in order to secure Erdogan's grab on power, and the US is on its best way to follow suit, with fanatic Evangelicals banded together with neo-Nazis and generic anti-semites having taken power in the GOP.
