When Dobbs was on the line not one of the tens of millions of them even tried to kill the scotus.

I also like to point out how afraid libs were when Trump was threatening to nuke the DPRK and possibly start WW3. Not a single lib thought to say “maybe we should strip the power away from a president to be able to do this sort of thing”. But libs would rather die in a nuclear winter than consider fundamentally altering power relationships in government.

As someone familiar with government bureaucracy, both personally and from a historical perspective, I don’t think Project 2025 is all that feasible, at least in the short/medium term.

These government bureaucracies are massive. There is no way you can hire some wine mom from Palm Beach be an environmental scientist at the EPA just because she loves Trump. Government jobs usually require things like interview panels to score people. These jobs have minimum requirements, etc that you can’t actually just bypass. And there so many layers of management. Sure, Trump can staff these agencies with his people at the very top, but that’s something GOP presidents have always done (and Democrats put industry-friendly people in there anyway).

But more importantly, these bureaucracies have their own “immune systems” that prevent attempts to subvert their power. Put it this way: let’s say we got a commie elected to president. The first thing we would want to do is “project 2025” the CIA, right? Just imagine how hard that would actually be, and how effective the CIA would be in largely thwarting this attempt.

Afghanistan should be negative. As the US-backed government collapsed to the Taliban, the US decided to keep like $7 billion of the country’s reserves. US kept most of it but graciously decided to give back a fraction of their own money but only in food, not in cash.

Death to America.

I wish you could short Michelle Obama here. IIRC she has never expressed interest in running for president and by all accounts frankly seemed to be more than done with it all by the time her husband left office. And yet she’s always near the top of the list on these things, I don’t get it.

IIRC Ben is living in China right now getting a Marxism degree.

As of 2019, Abigail Disney's net worth was approximately $120 million.

While that’s still obscenely wealthy, that’s less than what a single Olson Twin is worth. Why is Abigail Disney getting all this media attention for withholding donations when she’s probably all that close to power, certainly not compared to all the many billionaires who donate to the DNC.

tbf I posted a video of her playing The Frog Galliard on harpsichord just because I thought it was pretty dope.

By all accounts, he is actually more Zionist than Biden or Trump, if that’s even possible.

Check out W’s failed appointee Harriet Miers. Technically she had a law degree but functionally she was an office manager for a law firm tied to the Bush family. W nominated her and she had trouble with basic legal questions on the intake form. Orrin Hatch pulled W aside and said she’d never be approved, so she withdrew.

Don’t know how I missed those.

Even assuming the absolute worst, none of that compares to the indoctrination I got at evangelical church camp in the USA.

St. Louis is cursed to being home to the worst US corporations, relative to its size at least. Boeing’s military division is there (one of the biggest employers there, former McDonnell Douglas). Mallinckrodt, Monsanto (poisoning our food + inventing agricultural IP), ABInBev (shitty American beer), and Peabody/Arch Coal (coal mining and they also figured out how a corporation can legally shed their pension liabilities. And they all love their performative liberal bullshit. And you can add Michael Brown and all the racism on top of it, too.
