This has immense rhetorical power in terms of amping up support. It makes it easier to recruit, justify, pursue goals, etc.
Put in in Hoi4 terms. If 'political capital' can be reasonably simplified into a score, a currency, this is 'bank error in your favor, have a buttload of free points.'
...with which you can more easily pursue a wide variety of actions or policies.
Nah, he's still a fascist and when anyone reads up on Project 2025 is not going to change their mind about him over this.
It's not those who care about it that are an issue here
Sure, but awareness is spreading like wildfire. People underestimate Americans. Once a critical mass of Americans start pushing in one way, it's next to impossible to stop them.
Oh, I sure hope you are right, and since there's contradictory hearsay I will only know when it happens anyway
