      If the democrats hold “civility” and “precedent” more highly than outlawing a candidate who, by their own admission, would plunge the country into fascism, then democrats are complicit.

      Dog, take a look at what has happened this week alone (under a dem president): arguing in favor of unprecedented levels surveillance to any president, sending billions of dollars to a genocidal regime, the revelation that like 40% of democrats are in favor of mass deportations…

      Fascism is already here. Just because it is being formally codified in Project 2025 doesn’t mean it has yet to arrive. Democrats, and liberalism in general, are unable to stomp fascism.

        While I agree, it’s still important to vote Democrat just to keep things from getting worse even faster while we drum up support for a better solution.

          Na fuck that. Voting Democrat is voting against progression. Progression will be achieved by igniting the masses. You fuel the fire and the new growth is what will grow to the old forest for your grandkids kids who will never know or thank you will live in. Vote Trump and burn the fucker to the ground.

      Same as r/conservatives was.

      Projection is the game. You see these wackos all over YouTube bemoaning “my comments keep getting deleted” (which doesn’t seem true), yet go on their turf and they’ll happily silence you as that’s different.

      Reminds me of “the only moral abortion is mine”. The only people being silenced is us, what we’re doing might look the same but trust me bro it’s not.

    The listed excerpts are actually quite tame compared to what the actual plan is.

    slashing U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) funding, dismantling the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security

    invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 to deploy the military for domestic law enforcement and directing the DOJ to pursue Trump adversaries

    create a federally funded “American Academy” that would deliver online courses and grant free degrees that excluded “wokeness or jihadism”. The plan would also be funded by taxing the endowments of major universities

    every state report exactly how many abortions take place within its borders, at what gestational age of the child, for what reason, the mother’s state of residence, and by what method

    I stopped looking, not because there was any shortage of further crazy shit. There’s plenty more.

    Number two seems good. The fbi shouldn’t be conducting illegal investigations. The reasons they want it are not the same reasons I want it, but a stopped clock yadda yadda.

      Unfortunately their definition of an “illegal investigation” is as well defined as their definition of “woke”. It just means anything that they don’t like and can flexibly be applied to who is doing the action.

      Not even remotely, sex work is still work and trying to abolish it just marginalizes people into perilous compromising positions

        Prostitution and/or seducing coomers online isn’t work. Legalising prostitution just makes it harder to save people from being trafficked.

          That is demonstrably false, legal sanction is what allows sex workers to be able to call the authorities on suspicious behavior towards them without risking their own arrest in the process.
