When, oh when will the GOP take a stand against the woke Amish who refuse to assimilate? Take action now, before they impose ordnung law on us all.

This gets especially interesting when you realize how there are several whole societies that are largely invisible to mainstream society. There's a whole bunch of law around monasteries which allow them to essentially operate almost entirely outside of the state. Similarly, Amish/Mennonite communities basically don't interoperate with the outside world most of the time. I lived on a religious commune for a bit (it was an Isis cult, which I wasn't really part of but that's a whole other story. And I'm not going to get in to the abuse elements of a lot of these because that critique is separate.)
A lot of these places can only exist because they don't have to pay taxes or comply with a number of laws. They often also can get government grants. There's a whole world of things that are built specifically to benefit Christian churches that can be subverted towards actually radical ends.
