    My concern is that now that Trump is in office and project 2025 is in full swing, that we will never see another fair election again.

      If you aren’t a die hard democrat or republican, you have never in your lifetime had a fair election because of the artificial limitations imposed by First-past-the-post voting

      The crimson lining is that we might get to build a new United States, free of the GOP and DNC. The problem is the nature of that crimson.

        Is it really easier to imagine the end of the United States of America compared to voting outside the two party system?

          It certainly feels that way. I simply have no faith in the DNC, let alone the likes of the GOP. I am of the opinion that our political system simply lacks the flexibility needed to reflect the interests of ordinary people. Just look at how medical benefits, SNAP, NOAA, our sciences, federal workers, due process, and so much more are being deconstructed. All for the sake of a small group of people to see their numbers go up.

          It would be good to be wrong about this feeling. Unfortunately, hope is rarely a good companion of prudence.

      That’s his obvious intention, yes.

      There’s still some things that can go wrong for the fascists, but we’re certainly on a trajectory towards eternal leader supreme chancellor Trump.

        When he dies they’re just gonna make him into an LLM. He already ignores all previous instructions so he’s laid the groundwork
