    So you want god to do the work, that you’re supposed to do? Do we live in a democracy or a theocracy?

        It’s meant for both of these statements. Do we expect god to turn trump into ash or is it our job to build a good society?

        The implication of GP is that it’s our job to turn Trump to ash (and I think that’s the intended interpretation).

      If the USA is a country that is a democracy, can be answered only by a tentative yes for now. There are too many things wrong with the voting system and disenfranchisement and systemic failures around court appointments for a definitive yes.

      Apart from that, we live in a world where gods don’t exist, but not everyone agrees on that.
