Yeah, it’s basically judicial capture

Which is only a problem because servile lickspittle liberals won’t just ignore and nullify the obviously compromised decisions of these “sacred” courts they uphold. It’s so frustrating.

Nah thats been Mitch McConnel’s strategy for the past two decades. McConnel’s faction basically have everything they want already, so his strategy is to obstruct the executive and legislative branches while packing the judicial branches with conservatives to lock the status quo down.

I think the argument is during his first term the Republicans thought Trump would actually be their leader and do stuff, but really he just bumbled around and ate McDonalds. Now the savvier far righters realize he’s better as a figurehead and will now leverage his next term by having a bunch of ghouls run around behind the scenes while Trump is out golfing.

That’s the logic anyway.

As if Trump didn’t already have a bunch of ghouls running around behind the scenes like John Bolton.

The Unite the Right Rally happened in 2017. Qanon began in 2017. There was still infighting in the republican party in 2017. They were still trying to solidify support behind their movement. Now they have more support. Before 2017, the heritage foundation helped Ronald Reagan get elected. The simple answer to your question is that things progress over time.

Unite the Right was a very bad thing. They chanted “Blood and Soil” and “Jews Will Not Replace Us”. I watched it as it happened. The counter-protestors at the rally were Socialist groups. If you watch the video of the attack on Heather Heyer, the counter-protestors were carrying IWW banners. The media never talked about that. Then Trump very famously said “There were very fine people on both sides”

There is a similarity between Project 2025 and Unite the Right. Both things have been co-opted by the Democratic party. Joe Biden claims that he was inspired to run for president because of Unite the Right, which is bull shit. He even said this again at his most recent debate with Donald Trump. Biden is taking actual threat from the right wing and using them as a threat so that he can be elected and then he’s not going to do anything about it.

Republicans do actually want to do Project 2025, just as they supported Unite the Right. You should not be saying “Project 2025 isn’t a real threat”. You should be saying “Joe Biden is not going to do anything to stop Project 2025.” Just as Joe Biden did nothing to stop the overturning of Roe V Wade or countless other rulings of the supreme court during his presidency. Just as the Democrats didn’t hold a real primary. Just as Joe Biden has no political policies even listed on his website.

Biden will get reelected and will start using Project 2025 as a checklist.

On the other hand, if it’s so dangerous you’d think Biden, his DOJ, the FBI etc would all be doing something about it right? Hes the current president, its not like he isnt allowed to do anything in the year running up to the election. It’s like saying this is a 50/50 shot at being the last American election but then running Biden and pretending you can’t get him out as if he’s a dug in tick you’re not allowed to burn. It’s a joke.

Obviously this stuff does work on some people, the nagging scolding probably works really well on soft squishy libs, but I doubt it’s gonna help y’all yanks

That’s not how it works, nothing outlined in Project 2025 is illegal, it was designed by Ivy League lawyers to bob and weave and withstand legal challenges, and the current Democratic party does not have a politics that involves breaking decorum or doing anything they fear might be done back to them like say investigate Heritage for tax fraud or outright say the US is not a Christian nation. I wish the default position on the left wasn’t that anything the Democrats are hysterical about is therefore fake.

Their screeching is the absolutely most they can do because their terms of engagement is predicated upon going by procedure. If you are a pushover and I never return the money I borrow from you, it doesn’t mean you don’t actually want it back or that I am not stealing, it means you haven’t the mettle or precedent or actionable vision for how you’d stand up to me, which is the actual issue with Project 2025 being rammed through, not that it is fake.
