Forcing nuns—nuns!—to buy birth control (in the form of Obamacare medical insurance) should have been the canary in the coal mine of progressives’ vile, out-of-control authoritarianism. And to a large extent, in the center-right media space, it got the attention it deserved, but it truly deserved a deeper and wider audience, for it was a blinding flashpoint in the whole groin-focused-”reproductive-care”-gay-marriage-”gender-fluid”-what-are-your-pronouns arc launched in earnest during the Obama era.
Last November, when analyzing why Kamala lost, Clarice Feldman summed it up brilliantly:
For some reason I keep thinking about the saga of the Little Sisters of the Poor, beginning back at the end of the second Obama administration. It had, in miniature, the key elements of liberal political psychology that afflicted the Biden administration and the Harris campaign: the compulsive aggression and imprudence of liberal government, which ends up defeating itself through the inability to exercise even a modicum of political self-restraint, combined with the total inability of the aggressors to understand why anyone could doubt their rectitude.

Of course. Just as forcing first century Christians to worship Caesar as divine, under penalty of death, was a purpose-driven intentional act.
Good post, thank you.
That’s a great point. For decades the left was hysterical that there must be no church and state. That has morphed into the left demanding subjugation of the church by the state.

They’ve “morphed” into communism.
It’s political appropriation by the communists of what was once known, but now dead, democratic party. Trump has basically pulled the mask off em, and what’s visible is pretty evil and ugly.
The Left, dating from the French revolution, has always been anti-church, anti-Christian.
Obozo is a muslim and will follow the koran rather than religious freedom.
