the fact that the federal government is removing sections from the Constitution on its official website should be the final nail in the coffin for anyone holding on to optimism or those remaining skeptical.

if you are in your 30s ask yourself if Bush would have thought about doing anything to even suggest altering or changing the constitution. the constitution of this country has long since been championed by conservatives to be “law of the land” as essentially infallible. they used to foam at the mouth if anyone attempted to revise a single part of it lest the entire document become obsolete.

it’s done, you guys. Project 2025 has won and we are not a constitutional republic anymore. dictatorship is being OPENLY attempted and if you still think at this point fascism is not here you are delusional.

wake up and get ready for whatever is coming after.

Different reasons for different people.

Some because they expect to benefit from it - they expect to be a part of the autocracy.

Some because they're angry and stupid and all they know is that people they hate are unhappy about it, so it must be a good thing.

Some because they can't wrap their heads around it - they can't believe that it's really happening.

Some because they think they're powerless to stop it.

And some because they just want to watch the world burn.

This sounds like a pretty good description of the situation.

I would add the seeming lack of true alternatives, as dems have repeatedly dropped the ball in the last few decades.

My entire life which would be five decades.
