    It’s a bit like the logic of why Trump may be better than De’Satan, he’s a reckless destructive arse, but at least he’s stupid too.

    Problem is though now they have a pile of people behind that 2025 doc to make up for their own lack of knowledge…

      Project 2025 from the Heritage Foundation and the America First Transition Project from the America First Policy Institute. Same shit, different toilet, even more organized freaks.

        Yeah, but honestly in a way I’m kind of tired of reading the name at this point. It’s big, it’s scary, it exists and isn’t going away and needs to fought.

        Until put into practice it’s also just words.

        A lot of religious texts that many people treat as dictates from a divine being are full of similarly exaggerated wish lists. In most sane parts of the world they’re not implemented with the force of law. We’ll soon find out how sane America is.
