Project 2025 is useful mostly in that a key problem Democratic campaigns have historically had is that when you tell people what Republicans actually want to do, they don’t believe you. The evil public list makes it a bit more concrete.

Google “Massachusetts crisis pregnancy” and this link pops up. It’s part of a statewide campaign, including public signage (highway billboards!), urging people to avoid crisis pregnancy/anti-abortion centers. The Commonwealth is not fucking around with this.

Trump raped a woman, was revealed as being in constant contact with a sex trafficker, stole nuclear secrets, is old, forged electoral certificates, was convicted of 34 felonies, committed fraud, is literally on the Saudi payroll, sent a mob to hang his VP but the opponent is also old.

One failed attempt at a shoe bomb and we all take our shoes off at the airport. One failed attempt at overthrowing our country and we still allow the guy who orchestrated it to run for President so he can do it again. Why aren’t we protecting America from right-wing terrorism?

1. Voters generally reject fascism when they know that's the choice. 2. Thus, the MAGA freakout at people figuring out what Project 2025 does.

Either the Democrats will run Biden, or he'll say he can't continue the campaign and Democrats will run Harris. Either is newsworthy, but neither is nearly as radical as running a pro-insurrection convicted felon with legal immunity he's eager to use.

Homeless people can be arrested for sleeping, Presidents cannot be arrested for rampant graft and corruption done while in office. There is no clearer a summary of "conservative 'law and order'" than this.

I don't think Biden should call Garland to his office and demand he open a criminal investigation immediately against Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Gorsuch, Kavanaugh, Trump, and every executive at Fox News on charges of treason by tomorrow or he's fired, but if he /did/ do that, it wouldn't be criminal

Yeah it’s not like we’ll see a repeat of 1968, when the Democrats downshifted to a Vice President at a convention in Chicago that was plagued by protests against the party’s support for an unpopular foreign war and wound up creating an opening for a candidate they’d beat before. Totally different!

I fully expect that Trump will host a live broadcast to name the VP with multiple finalists present, and include Rubio on that list just to humiliate him on TV

There's also a good story to be written about how Twitter was never what people thought Twitter was. It's always been populated by niches, never achieving close to the reach of FB, YouTube, or IG - it's just that one of the big niches was politicos and journalists.
