It's becoming ever more silly & pointless to say as the travesty & ridiculous overreach (of these extremist theocratic/un-democratic) radicals keeps spreading, but like, low key thank you for showing us who you are, for so visibly not caring at all about anyone but yourselves & your particular & strange delusions. I hope some day we survive (as a free society) to calmer chiller times, and look back & reflect. It feels like theres a total lack of moderation, that this extremism has been growing, and I hope we can survive & not be corralled into a top-down overbearing government that forces a select peoples chosen way of life on everyone.

>I hope we can survive & not be corralled into a top-down overbearing government that forces a select peoples chosen way of life on everyone. When you have a country where too many groups of people have fundamental disagreements on basic issues, I think it's probably inevitable that one of two possible outcomes happens: the country breaks apart, or an authoritarian government takes over.

  That is the Falsist of False Dichotomies. You really think there are only two possible outcomes? And those are the two you've chosen? Unreal.

    Can you point to many historical examples of countries where different groups inside were actively antagonistic towards each other, and the country wasn't authoritarian?

This is what decadent, weak, unprincipled governance looks like. According to USNews OK is 49th in education, I presume that this decision is just like so many other cultural death spirals where the people have now become so ignorant from decades of substandard educational practices that they can no longer reason through what foundations are required for success in the first place. Brain drain is very real.
