    That’s the brilliant thing about the making politics about cultural issues. Churches can campaign for culture shit all day long. They just can’t say “vote for _____.”

      But Trump has made clear he won’t punish churches that violate the Johnson amendment in 2024, even vowing on a Christian nationalist broadcast last May that he’ll abolish the prohibition if reelected.

      But that’s exactly what they’re doing.

      Even when they do, and I have sent in photos of a local church with “Trump 2020” on their placard, nothing at all happens to them.

      They aren’t even contacted as far as I can tell.

        Maybe cc a news organization or three on the email to the IRS next time and they can do some follow-up reporting on it?

        Failing that, there ought to be some way a lawsuit could get filed that could force the IRS to do their job, though that’d be an expensive and time consuming thing
