    The one thing I’ve learned through his terms, especially this one, is if he is “talking” about doing something, there is an insanely high chance that it will be done. Be absolutely prepared for this to become reality.

      I wonder if telling us makes us less likely to act. They pretty much gave us project 2025 and then just rolled their eyes to their base like we were crazy while we screamed fire.

      That’s some diabolical sibling shit. “Can you believe this guy mom? Project 2025? I NEVER said that”

        It’s all about overloading us. Do we react to this, or do we react to the thousands of other fucked up shit this admin is doing. It’s so much that we can’t possibly pick one thing to latch on to.

        Even the organized protests can’t pick one thing to protest cause everything this admin does deserves it.
