The entire replace Biden ‘campaign’ reeks of the same stench as the fake ass ‘Walk Away’ messaging from 2019.

Don't let his lies scare you out of sharing the details of Project 2025 with everyone you know — especially those who are on the fence about their vote this year.

There's good reason to believe knowing about Project 2025 focuses people's minds on the stakes.

There are so many good points from Don here, including that Project 2025 shows how authoritarians adapt and why it's smart to focus on the personnel part of Project 2025 as much as the policies, which are basically just typical GOP policies rounded up to the highest possible number.

I'll keep repeating it until people understand, this is how you know it's a ratfucking operation and not a serious effort to determine if the president is mentally fit. None of these people care about policy, their entire industry is in it for controversy and clicks. It's a ratfucking op.

Nothing is stopping every single Democratic elected official and apparatchik from taking the airwaves every single day to articulately and decisively repeat a set of cogent talking points about Trump (ie 45). Nothing. Dem PACs could be slamming him with ads now. Stop whining and do that.

There are many things that infuriate me about the pundit class right now, but probably one of the top on my list: Project 2025 has posted their plans for every single federal department on their website. They have a training academy for prospective appointees. Where are the hard hitting op-eds?

There was no GOP party platform in 2020, and Trump wants to shrink the proposed 2024 one. He opposes providing detail on how radical his second term will be because he knows its unpopular. Make no mistake: Project 2025 was written by Trump appointees & loyalists. Its their shared agenda.

To this naive observer this seems like a BFD: Nothing's done until its done, but this is a necessary step to get to the desired end. Seems like sleepy and addled Joe Biden might actually have been doing something on all those exhausting foreign trips.

No coincidence that Robinson is using the same "you made us do it" rhetoric as Kevin Roberts--it's a textbook strategy for persuading people to get over their moral scruples and just do it.

You see how Robinson invokes an *actual* war (WWII) to establish that this is, in fact, a "war" with combatants (who are the fellow citizens of the warriors he's inciting). He claims they are trying to make 1776 (i.e. the Christian founding) a "distant memory":

i saw some folks worried that, legally, biden couldn’t be replaced on ballots - especially in crucial states like wisconsin - in time.

the heritage foundation put out a memo trying to promote this fear for example.

dave weigel reports here that it’s basically BS.

People like Roger Stone or Steve Bannon or Jack Posobiec or Matt Gaetz or Marjorie Taylor Greene or Laura Ingraham or Ann Coulter or [fill in the blanks] are 100% "the baddies" and they are 100% proud of that. They want the blood of their fellow Americans, and will savor the taste of it.

Giving credence to the idea that DOJ is driven by “Trump derangement syndrome” is bizarre. The feds have bent over backwards to give Trump every benefit of the doubt. To hold that Trump, of all people, needs special protection from unfair prosecution is to imbibe his hollow claims of victimization.
