Sounds like maybe Trump did know something about Project 2025 after all...
You're viewing a single thread.
the part that pisses me off the most about this is that the democrats all read the thrice-damned playbook.
Like. WHY THE FUCK DO THEY NOT HAVE A PLAN?!
oh. that and the fucking nazis are winning.
That’s genuinely the most sanity-destroying part of this for me.
They made a playbook years ago. They said they made it. The posted it openly on the internet years ago. They said they’d follow the playbook. They’re now following the playbook. They’re continuing to follow the playbook. They are completing entire sections of the playbook, according to what was written in the playbook. They will continue to follow the playbook.
This is not a surprise. You are not allowed to be surprised by this. Fucking stop it.
And yet: all the Democratic leadership and rank-and-file - save for a very small handful of progressives - are all in a constant state of shock and surprise. What the absolute fuck. How. HOW.
and more infuriating- they ran on "WE NEED TO FIGHT THIS".
Right? And then they fucking softballed it. Like, what the fuck. What the actual fuck.

I’m also quite certain the fascists will ditch the filibuster the second orangeboi asks them to
Yup.
At this point, the republicans can’t fold fast enough, and democrats are just stepping aside because “reasons”.
There’s only a handful of people actually standing up.
The Republican aren’t folding. They’re putting their armbands on.
Yes. But even 10, 20 years ago there would have been a few being like, “fuck no.” They’re all folding and toeing the line. (And yes, putting on the armbands and the diapers and the maxi pads over thermal ears.)
For example, Ukraine and Russia.
Democrats aren't revolutionaries. They're legislators. Most of them didn't sign up for this but for normal work.
It does mean we have the wrong people in office when we need fighters, but I don't see how you can throw all the blame on them.
They're the ones who are afraid of going to Gitmo, assuming they aren't otherwise disappeared.
this is what they ran on to stop, at least in part.
more over, I didn't sign up for this shit either. If they don't start doing their job, we will be going to a civil war- a civil war that will make the last one look like a block party.
That's all fair. I'm not at all satisfied with their performance, just not surprised. Legislators don't know how to respond to the Gish Gallop, especially when it's taken the top offices.
I guess the biggest issue I have is when legislators are whining about it.
"Well I didn't sign up for this!"
Except you kinda did. and the time to act was over the last four and a quarter years... with the whole apparently lacking an understand of where it's going.
What will it take to supplant them and take control of the party or delegitimize them as a viable 2nd party in the awful two party system and replace the party with something progressive that represents workers other than more of the same?
I don't see a voting way out of this, sadly.
So if it's a revolution, and we win, we then get to institute different rules that don't lead to the inevitable two party domination.
Oh, they have a plan. It's in the half-dozen fundraising texts I get every day. Trump is clearly good for democrats' business and it makes me sick.
The Dems are following the plan because they are complicit.
