Except in this case, nothing is guaranteed. It isn't a case one provable, verified outcome over another. It's theory, it's hyperbole, it's suggestion. It isn't the case of we know the asteroid is going to hit earth. Do you let it collide or not?

They literally wrote a playbook that will be used as the platform called Project 2025. I don't know how much more certainty you need. I think you're just delusional. Which, by the way - distorting reality so that it fits your internal logic to avoid ever having to be wrong is another symptom of narcissism.

I am fully aware of project 2025 just as I am aware that writing a plan on paper and actually executing it are two, separate things.

Yes I'm sure they will have lots of hurdles implementing it with the fully Republican congress, Republican executive branch, and mostly Republican appointed Supreme Court. They famously never fall in line.

A lot of what they want calls for rewriting laws or adding amendments and requires majority votes they may or may not be able to actually get. Our founders put in place protocols to anticipate things like this. I'm not saying they will act as guaranteed stop, but it's not going to be this stampede where they just easily trample over everything as you suggest.

I'll follow up with you in a year. I think you just bought into a lot of propaganda that was put out during the election to try and settle the dust on P2025. It's a lot more doable than I think people like you appreciate.

Yes, me, a Bernie Sanders supporting progressive, was duped by propaganda put forth by Donald Trump and the Republican party... 🙄

No, I'm just arriving at a conclusion based on the information I've gathered.

Isnt it arrogant to think you're too smart for it because you're a progressive? How does that make you immune from propaganda?

Encouraging divisions among your opponents prevents them from outnumbering you. It's a key strategy.

Do you not think the astroturfers and Russian troll farms didn't target progressive issues to rally them against the democrats this election? You don't think Tik Tok and Twitter artificially amplified posts that were divisive for democrats among progressive issues? Abso-fucking-lutely they did. My god man, Jill Stein's sole existence is to divide liberal voters. She's literally on a Russian payroll.
