The language of the linked article by Mr Barrington Salmon may seem to veer into conspiracy territory at times…if it wasn’t so well-documented. At the risk of “yelling into a echo chamber”…

“The actions of liberal politicians in Washington have created a desperate need and unique opportunity for conservatives to start undoing the damage the Left has wrought and build a better country for all Americans in 2025,” the Project 2025 manifesto said. “It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on day one of the next conservative administration.”

Meyerson, editor-at-large at The American Prospect, said far-right conservatives and The Heritage Foundation have an extensive enemies’ list that includes “welfare recipients, lazy and liberal civil servants, anti-business regulators, environmentalists, and union bosses, “scientists, woke bureaucrats, woke educators, woke diplomats, woke generals and admirals, woke G-men, and anyone who doesn’t indulge the next Republican president’s every whim (an adaptation to the likelihood of a Trump nomination),” in the commentary titled, “The Far Right Has a Plan to Remake America. They Even Wrote It Down.”

America is at an inflection point, vacillating on a knife’s edge because of Trump, who has tapped into a deep reservoir of grievance, hatred and resentment plans that will be fully unleashed in a second term. Trump’s incendiary rhetoric – mirroring Hitler and Mussolini – is convincing observers that he’s a fascist, to add to his authoritarian bent.

    Yepp. “Vote blue no matter who” is worse than MAGA at this point, because at least conservatives are honest about who they are.

      The main problem is that largely over the course of our country’s recent history it is one vs one. It just doesn’t work. If you were hiring for a very specific, hard, responsibility filled job would you pick between only 2 people? Yes I know that primaries start with more but lets be real - how many of those weren’t already decided before the campaigns started.

      Exactly the way that Malcolm X described them In bullet or the ballot, wolf versus the fox. The exact same way that MLK referred to them in letters from a Birmingham jail.

          I’m talking about the way that both of them described milquetoast liberals as being worse than Republicans, more of a danger to society, and prevent progress despite all their rhetoric.

              No they haven’t, Marx described them the same way too. Their technique for staying in power by co-opting marginalized groups before stabbing them in the back has remained the same.

                    So Republicans are the solution? But we’ve had plenty of Republicans as President and all over the country. If their ideas and actions were so great why haven’t the Republicans swept everything by now if it is so bad?

                    I’m glad to be chatting with someone smarter then everyone else who have thought of this problem since Karl Marx wrote about it but couldn’t solve it.
