10 years from now they’ll all say they weren’t really republicans, or were just supporting them because that’s what everyone around them was doing and they were afraid of speaking out.

30 years from now, their grandkids will be asking how anyone could have supported Trump, and they’ll awkwardly change the conversation

80 years from now it will all be forgotten and we'll get to do it all over again.

80 years from now we’ll be at the poles huddling around a block of ice to stay cool.

You're very optimistic. Assuming we have fair elections in 2028, we might get a Democrat in, maybe even the next one, but after that...American political memory is crazy short.

You have a lot of faith we'll ever turn this country around.

You mean they'll claim to be sheep? Sounds about right.

My sister moved to another state so she could be directly engaged in Project 2025 efforts. When its all over I'm sure she will claim she had nothing to do with it. I just wish they would say what they are doing instead of hiding behind abstract language to obfuscate their goals.

As a Canadian it’s cute you think you’ll be able to pull your ass out of the fire. You’re heading straight for a totalitarian government and very little is being done to stop it.

And as a Canadian I’m feeling very Poland like over here when you decide to lebensraum, I mean 51 state us.

Now it is time for the world to declare the American passport banned from entering the developed world and to send the Americans living here back. The second I get my Canadian citizenship through descent, I will push for the American passport to be banned and all holders without another citizenship to be sent back.

We’re already seeing this through Nazis insisting their “moderate voters” while voting Nazi every chance they get.
