        how powerless anyone is to correct any of it.

        How dare you! You can vote!

        This is great…

        Okay, fine - call me a “bro”. I admit that I think it’s very bad to have a candidate with their brains leaking out of ears.

          Part of me wants this chaos for the sake of vengeance for them not listening to us about stopping right wing populism with left wing populism. It’s cathartic and entertaining in that way.

          But also part of me is scared they’re letting it get so bad and think they can just hole up in their mansions and fundraise off this for another four years. Idk, they may not implement Project 2025 at a national level but, as the national administrative state is dismantled by them, they could implement parts of it in the strongholds where they hold absolute power, including where I live. It’s very concerning.

            Part of me… but

            Me too even though I live in a blue state. I’m very worried about the GOP SCOTUS justices and the unwillingness of the Biden and the dems to do anything about them - https://hexbear.net/comment/5099065

            At Bluesky the libs have been apeshit for weeks about Project 2025. There’s one popular post about it after another. They can’t stop talking about it. And it drives me insane they don’t mention the obvious thing which is radical court reform and then killing Project 2025. Instead it’s endless carping about how people must vote and the important thing is that Biden win. But then what?

            The dems window of time where they can keep milking reproductive rights for campaigning and fundraising will eventually end. And if Biden wins - they can do that for Project 2025 too. But eventually the public gets very tired of endless promises to do something. They want action. If they don’t get it - they’ll stop voting in droves. Yet the dems seem intent that their greed for money in campaigning and fundraising leads them off a electoral cliff due to inaction.
