Always fascinating to read and speculate on "what if" scenarios, especially when informed by actual history and historical motives, so thanks for that.

I hear about shit like this and sometimes wish I lived in that parallel universe where the South did win the Civil War and became the bastion for bigots and assholes everywhere, and became a third-world nation ruled by its own brand of religiously conservative and backward hatemongers, railing against their far more…

Seems odd to file this as a "Newswire" when the AVC is the one doing the interviewing.

Again, I would go back to the interpretation of the free exercise clause that disallows laws "target[ing] or disfavor[ing] religion, not if they
merely impose general obligations on all that some religiously scrupled
