Project 2025
- Fascist coup 2025
Entering? You mean no longer hiding it.
How about not take it all in.
- Throw it all out. Baby and bathwater.
- Ten-foot pole.
This is what you allow to happen by sitting on your ass.
- Over the past ten years, I’ve voted, donated, volunteered, organized, protested, called my representatives, and more. I’ve done anything but sit on my ass and let this happen. And a lot of other people who have done the same are being hurt now, and even more will be hurt before this is over. So thank you for being smug, it’s really going to help us now.
  
  It takes way more work to build something than tear it down. Keep it up!
  I fear that standard civics and activism isn’t going to be enough. The culture has to shift away from cults and individualistic myths.
- This is what happens when you invite Liz Cheney into the campaign. Truly a winning strategy.
- Whst did you do?
- But we saved Gaza from Kamala. Didn’t we?
  
  At least no centrist had to vote against the genocide they dearly love.
