      That’s pretty much the Republican party at this point. Project 2025 either convinces you the Republicans are going to far and avoid them like the plague or it speaks to all your petty fears and hates convincing you that only the Republicans are the party for you.

        The real problem, in my experience, is the large number of people. from all over the political spectrum, who will say, “Oh, that’s not what the party wants, that’s not what the politicians will do, it’s just some people saying things.” and just like, NO THEY REALLY DO WANT TO LINE ME AND HALF THE PEOPLE I KNOW UP AGAINST THE WALL AND SHOOT US DEAD, really seriously truly they do.

          And even if they don’t it’s what they’ll try to do. I heard that exact statement about overturning roe for my entire life

          It’s “surely they won’t actually do those things…” to, “well, it’s still better than being a Democrat” then vote for them giddily.

        That’s pretty much the Republican party at this point.

        And then they use the very same taxpayer dollars they’re supposedly so concerned about to defend the inevitable lawsuits.

        The fact of the matter is that it’s been the Republican party for decades, at least. It’s just now, with donnie Bin Laden and those who now feel emboldened because of him, the mask is off.

        It’s now very difficult for the corporate bothsiderist “liberal media” to pretend otherwise - though they sure do continue to try…

      Is it? What would Thomas Clarence Clarence Thomas say? What about Sam Alito? Because that’s who they’ll be asking if it’s illegal or not.

      I once had a philosophy professor that said “The only black person in America that hates other black people is Thomas ClarenceClarence Thomas.” And, aside from the fact that Candace Owens exists, Clarence is one of the most far right…errr…injustices on the court.

      It somehow violates two seperate parts of the 1st amendment, which would be slightly impressive if it weren’t being used to kill people
