politics

Scheppele's assessment echoed that of the Global Project Against Hate and Extremism, which warned in an analysis published late last year that "the entire project is devoted to aggrandizing executive power by centralizing authority in the presidency, and a key aspect of democratic backsliding is viewing opposition elements as attempting to destroy the 'real' community, an essential aspect to quashing dissent."

"Project 2025 paints progressives and liberals as outside acceptable politics, and not just ideological opponents, but inherently anti-American and 'replacing American values,'" the analysis said. "Targeting vulnerable communities is a core tenet of Project 2025. Project 2025 is very clearly on a path to Christian nationalism as well as authoritarianism."

For the love of everything we care for. Please vote this November.

The thing that is upsetting about American fascism is not that it exists.

It's the fact that everyone is debating it like an argument about what kind of chairs you want at a wedding.

It's the same scenario that played out in 1930s Germany and the rise of Nazism ..... everyone kept arguing that it wouldn't happen, it's not like that, it isn't that bad, they have good points, we can control it, we won't let them go too far, everyone obeys the rule of law, we have morals ....

..... then we all had to literally break the entire world in order to fix the problem.

And where...

THE FUCK...

Is the FBI?

If that's not a terroristic threat, then what is?

And your God emperor is signalling bloodshed if we let you do it.

You don't negotiate or compromise with Nazis like the Project 2025 people.

“Let us kill the undesirables or we’ll kill you too”

The man should be hanged

Conspiracy to commit treason

"If you don't fight back, we'll let you live" For now. Make no mistake about scorpions though.

Not only are they in the process of openly subverting the Constitution of the United States, they are openly calling for violence. When declared powerful adversaries call for violence publicly, every option is on the table. Collective self defense may be necessary, and they may yet regret it.

This country is so fucked. Much of the culture is checked out; a lot of the left/liberal movement seem to be up its own asshole in goofy pandering that seems designed to only churn out more donnie voters, and the cons are making plans, and basically announcing them to everyone.

Also, I'll vote Biden no matter what this fall, but the Democratic Party had better seriously consider removing him and selecting someone else. Otherwise, Biden's chief legacy that is actually remembered will be helping to enable the dismantling of this country by being so egotistical as to think he's the only one that could beat donnie in 2024.

Dear President Biden, you have sworn an oath to defend the constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. SCOTUS has given you cover to do almost literally anything you need to do to fulfill that oath. This is what a domestic enemy looks and sounds like. In fact, this is a target rich environment, Mr. President. Please, get off your ass and get to work.

Oh yeah completely normal for a US think tank president to be threatening bloodshed

Kevin Roberts is a piss baby fascist who should get fucked along with his entire party.

By all means, let's just sit around and wait?

I really hope an attempt to overthrow our government is met with the terrifying force of our military. This shits been outta hand for too long.

We already oppose it. Shoot your guns if you're not a fucking coward.

Threats are the domain of those bereft of ideas.

This is a classic rerun. Leftists, buy and register firearms for defense now, because it certainly will not be bloodless.

ETA: don't just buy a firearm. Buy a bunch of small paper plates and a shit ton of cheap ammo. Use the paper plates as target and practice at a range every day. If you don't know how to handle a firearm, take a firearm safety course. They're generally pretty affordable.

It would be great if the US could join reality with the rest of the developed world at some point. FFS, America. You're not doing well.

Again, keep this in mind when you see people urging you to not vote against Trump. Also note how you almost never see any of them in the comment sections of stories critical of Trump. The few that do show up usually only try and whatabout it into being about how Biden is bad.

As a trans person I am looking forward to being killed by a fascist screaming liberty.

I'm ready to hear what the Joint Chiefs of the US military have to say about this. They stepped in to lend some clarity a couple of times in 2020 when bullshit was getting too flagrantly unconstitutional, to remind everyone of the military's oath to uphold the Constitution regardless of who is in command (they also officially stated that Biden was commander in chief in Jan. 2021)

What's going to be infuriating is when the killing starts, so many people will act like this was unavoidable.

Remember being gaslit in 2016?

Put money and effort towards the cause https://defeatproject2025.org/

The left own guns too

Trump is just the side show to this. He’ll be playing golf and making terrible speeches while this architecture goes up around him. It’ll be SCOTUS 2.0 on a larger, more inclusive scale.

Instead of the meandering disorganized crap of 2016-2020, with most executive office jobs left unfilled, it’ll be project 2025.

The choice here rests with the under 40 crowd. Vote for or against it.
