I don't understand how it's legal for a court to order religion-based therapy that costs $1500 per month. That's absolutely insane from every possible angle.
We're now far beyond most people's perception of "sure, but that couldn't happen here" in many parts of the country. They are clinging to what they think is true instead of seeing what is because confronting the reality is difficult - it challenges the fundamental truths we believed would be there no matter what, but that's not true now and it's only getting worse.
As society evolved for the better on the whole, around 2010 the gop had a choice to die in irrelevancy and shame or to break society to a point where their shame wasn't a disqualifying factor anymore. They choose to break shit (watch a doc called "slaying the dragon" for a good summary of this). That set the stage for trump and gave the heritage foundation access needed to start cutting important wires and pouring gasoline on critical infrastructure of democracy. They'll risk sinking the ship with all of us on board rather than no longer have a chance at being Captain.
