Project 2025 will rob people of their lives.
The thing to remember about Project 2025 is that it has a 180 day execution window. This stuff will happen so fast it’ll make your head spin.
Honestly, that 180 day window thing is nominal. The execution of all of that will take way longer with all of the litigation that would happen, and it’ll take a couple of years to get it all enacted (slow at first then accelerating as more gets enacted).
Personally, I’d prefer if it were fast. The sudden change would wake people up, and cause way more civil unrest. If it’s slow, we end up as frogs slowly boiling. Fewer people will protest or cause issues if things unfold slowly. It’s the idea of the frog in the boiling water. If the changes are swift, there’s a higher chance of ordinary people taking notice and fighting to reverse them.

The water is already 208 degrees man. This country is the montage in the opening scenes of a dystopian film as it is.
Crumbling infrastructure. Natural disasters. Civil unrest. Disease. Tense international relations. Food costs escalating, and only to get worse due to changing climate.
Except in the experiment that coined the phrase, the frogs jumped out. We ain’t jumping. We’re acting more like crabs in a bucket.
Hah, there’s no way they get all that done in 180 days. I believe they would want to do it, but someone’s been hitting Hitler’s party drugs if they think Washington can move that fast.
With a Supreme Court in your pocket, literally whats stopping the new president from being a dictator?
First USA privatizes the army. Then China offers to pay triple if the private army turns against the USA and Xi calmly claims the White House.
Xi could cut out the middleman and just buy Congress. They are already privatised.
Troops… Or, as Trump calls them, “suckers”.
I hate trump but he’s honestly right here. Imagine signing up to join the military to murder brown children overseas in order to further enrich american corporations.
I wouldn’t be surprised if half the reason we don’t have higher-ed reform is because of that. If college were free or even affordable, nearly nobody would go to the military.
Hell part of why we got so entrenched in Vietnam was because our economy couldn’t find room for all the grownup boomer kids. So just institute a draft and send them off to the jungle to die instead.
Republicans hate the soldiers
