How Much Longer (my reaction to the Alito flag story)

 How much longer are we, as "leftist" voters, as humans, as Americans, going to dance around the fact that the kind of blatant bias against democracy, against the Left, against proclaiming the obvious guilt of Trump and his cronies demonstrated by the actions of members of the Supreme Court stems DIRECTLY from obeisance to not only Christian nationalism, but soft, "ordinary" Christianity as well?

How much longer is the supposedly "atheistic" and "left-leaning" mainstream media going to tip-toe around the fact that theism, Christianity, and Christian fundamentalism are at the root of the anti-government. anti-democratic, and anti-human bullshit being promoted by one of the two major political parties in the USA?
How much longer are the 50-55% of the American populace who actually want federal oversight of business and the workplace, who actually want a social safety net, who actually want a civil society and not the Wild West, going to continue to pay childlike respect to the legacy of primitive man that still controls our thoughts and threatens the very policies they claim to support?
How much longer are we going to have to ignore the evil, vampiric philosophy that is being used to cow people who really ought to know better into voting against their own goddamned best interests?
How much longer do I have to read and listen to story after story in the media about the crimes and stupidity of the right-wingers without seeing or hearing ONE WORD about the religious foundations of any of it?
