Again, the corrupt and unsound form of speaking in the plural number to a single person, you to one, instead of thou, contrary to the pure, plain, and single language of truth, thou to one, and you to more than one, which had always been used by God to men, and men to God, as well as one to another, from the oldest record of time till corrupt men, for corrupt ends, in later and corrupt times, to flatter, fawn, and work upon the corrupt nature in men, brought in that false and senseless way of speaking you to one, which has since corrupted the modern languages, and hath greatly debased the spirits and depraved the manners of men;—this evil custom I had been as forward in as others, and this I was now called out of, and required to cease from.

Thomas Ellwood, ca. late 1600s.

A lot of Trump voters are horribly uninformed. They didn't know - and still don't know - what Project 2025 is. They thought it was fearmongering because they only heard about it from Dems. They have no idea what's happening right now, nor do they care. All they know is their team won, and they're otherwise tuned out. Maybe they'll wake up when they feel the effects, but they'll probably just blame Democrats because Fox News tells them to.

Fascists double down on their fascism in response to punishment. Dead fascists, preferably by natural causes of course, do not.

Undocumented immigration is not a felony, not even a misdemeanor. It's a civil infraction, equivalent in severity to a traffic ticket.

The set of all possible universes does not include impossible universes. If you assume all possible universes exist, you've already eliminated universes that are the only universe as impossible.
