      Let me guess- if you are American you stopped hanging out with your right-wing neighbors/family? Because for some insane reason, I didn’t. This is 100% what they actually believe. They really think that anything left of Trump is part of the deep state conspiracy, homeschool their kids, think that bringing back “god” in school/state will fix everything, that Trump will save the country, etc, etc. Some of them already know about project 2025 and have greeted it with thunderous applause, the rest of the right will too.
      If you are not American, fuck off. You have no idea how bad the right-wingers really have become

          You haven’t made any statements worth refuting, you’ve only given your unsubstantiated personal opinion.

          You didn’t say anything of actual value comrade. Explain to me why you think something backed by the heritage foundation, which is a big money organization and not something to be taken lightly, holds no weight? I’m not American, but seeing this makes me worried for Americans. It seems like Republican takeover of a huge amount of power in the states.

          The democrats are atrocious for leftist movements. This is not debatable. But this is death of the leftist movement in America shit as far as I can tell. It seems like a huge leap towards Christo-fascism if attainable. I don’t see it as something that should just be ignored on any level. Why do you feel that it is? Maybe you know something I don’t.

            I don’t think I have some special knowledge. the heritage foundation are impotent, and p2025 is like a child’s letter to Santa. they will get some of it, but they’d be getting that whether they wrote the paper or no.

              Saying The Heritage Foundation is impotent might be the most ignorant thing I’ve ever seen. The Heritage Foundation is basically running the judicial system in our country. Their strategy completely worked they control the Supreme Court and they control a lot of the federal courts in this Nation. They are an existential threat to democracy. Project 2025 is a road map. Anyone who can’t see that at this point is probably rooting for that road map.

                the heritage foundation is a lot less scary to me than black rock, chase, meta, alphabet, and the actual fucking government (fisa courts, nsa spying, international spying agreements, criminalizing protests).

                this is all shit that already threatens us. the heritage foundation didn’t make this happen: america is fascist, and they are just cheerleaders.

                  You don’t think that they had anything to do with the half-century-long backslide into dominionist authoritarianism? They have playing the long game, and it’s happened because they had the patience to make it happen at a frog-boiling pace, and we only paid attention when they said the quiet parts out loud.

                  Who the hell do you think developed the Reagan doctrine? They’ve had a heavy hand in tons of policy making, both domestic and foreign, for as long as I’ve been alive. All those other groups you’ve mentioned are just bolstering their influence, helping to get their bidding done.

                  I must say I’m rather flabbergasted by this comment. You’re not worried about the Heritage Foundation. You are however worried about the people who fund the Heritage Foundation and the Endeavors the Heritage Foundation seeks to achieve?

                    The government doesn’t fund the heritage foundation. Facebook doesn’t find the heritage foundation. Google doesn’t fund the heritage foundation. who is it that you think funds the heritage foundation?
