      The problem is a what to actually do. Congress and the courts are controlled by people who largely agree with Project 2025. Most of the American public has no clue that it’s a real thing, and thinks it’s so out there that anybody telling them about it is on LSD and not credible.

        You mean to tell me, that in America. Where you can legally acquire, a genuine, US Army certified Rocket-Propelled Grenade from a gun show in Vegas for cash… you guys can’t think of what to actually do?

        Zoinks Scoob, I think I’m getting a clue.

          The vast majority of the people who would actually fight on the right side of history have been thoroughly pacified by the rhetoric that using a weapon would be unacceptably barbaric, and that if you can’t make the change you want with words, you’re just not finding the right words. We’ll be holding quippy signs and chanting about justice even as the country literally crumbles around us.

            a lot of people think it’ll only take a few hungry days for an uprising, but i don’t think they realize that’s exactly the plan. this is actually scary. the lack of fifth column pushback, the bending-over from major universities… these are all really clear indicators that what’s going on right now isn’t just some old, crazy dude spouting shit.

              That’s what’s insane to me too. I thought for sure some general staff level officer, someone in the admiralty, sone old hands from the alphabet agencies, or some combination thereof would be like “he’s going to fucking kill us all. It’s time to color outside the lines”.

              And yes, I know I’m basically saying that I’m holding out for a coup. But let’s be real: I’d trust the competence and compassion of any one of those groups an order of magnitude more than the people actually running the show at this point.

                i’m sorry, but i can’t be funny right now. i usually try to joke about stuff, but here goes. if you are american and you’re NOT currently trying to kill the guy who just tried to declare himself king of your democracy, then i just don’t know what else to say to you.

          I stand on my own and fire a weapon is pretty useless. To actually succeed, I need a lot more people on my side. Enough that we could probably impeach and remove those responsible for this mess.

            True, but it doesn’t take much, congress might be more inclined to step in with some percussive maintenance.

            Also, monkey see, monkey do. You know?

        Hiw are people in denial about a publicly available document? Denying it is like denying that JK Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books. It’s not a secret, it’s public information

          I pretty commonly hear:

          • Trump disavowed it
          • nobody would be that bad
          • you’ve been brainwashed by the media.
