Have you actually read Project 2025? There may be a handful of things on there that've been on the GOP's platform, but most of it goes far beyond anything the Republicans have ever stated publicly as policy goals.
Maybe it's just where I was raised, but I don't see this at all in my day to day life in the US. Things have come a very long way.
I'm sure there are still things that are shitty that I probably wouldn't notice as I'm not in that position... But in general, most people here don't seem to give a shit these days.
To be clear, I'm not referring to classism. That still exists to a degree, though it's mostly been supplanted by racism.
True. It's like if a street gang had really good PR and a super corrupt "union" to run cover for them.
Yeah I was gonna say... I remember playing that DLC set in Alaska (or like a simulation of the battle that took place in Alaska?) where they talk about China striking first.
That DLC was dope.
No. Maybe for a handful of them, but never on this scale, never this openly, and never this close to actually happening.
I think having a bicameral house is a very good thing.
And I know it gets a lot of hate in these parts, but the Senate was never meant to be proportionate. We are a federation of states, it makes sense to have one house be "the people's house" with proportionate representation, and a second house that is divided by state. It's kind of the entire point of having a union of states.
Bring on the hate, but I don't think the Senate is the problem. The corruption in the Senate is a symptom of the problem, but there is nothing fundamentally wrong with it as a concept.
That's like when McConnell said Obama didn't warn them hard enough about the 9/11 victims bill after literally vetoing it.
What a fucking waste
Yeah it is just mind boggling how these things can just pile up, and people are able to ignore the cognitive dissonance (or have trained themselves to get rid of it completely).
The irony is that Israel's actions ultimately make Jews worldwide less safe.
