Abortion is the gift that keeps on giving to democrats, while the GQP has truly shown its parochial and Handmaid’s tale solution: Destroy all women’s reproductive rights by whatever means possible.

These keystone cops can’t even agree on any unifying talking points anymore. First it was state rights. Now they want a national ban on abortion, and believe the Comstock Act gives them the right to do so.

Yup, this is how the GQP expects to govern; not through harmony and a united front, but fighting the war from within. This is four decades in the making.

Regan welcomed the fanatics into the party and now they have infiltrated every aspect of party. From judicial picks, to extreme gerrymandering that only allows the most corrupt and extreme to win primaries.

God help us of Trump wins; the Heritage Foundation and its Project 2025 will become the guiding light of the MAGA agenda, and all hope of avoiding a fascist, Christian Nationalist State, will be crushed!

Good times!…:)

A lot of the concern about Project 2025 is about the authoritarianism, and rightly so, but I think another huge problem will be the general incompetence. When you replace people at all levels and areas of government with loyalists with no experience, the potential for chaos is huge.

It amazes me that people think we can end the “deep state” and they’ll get their tax refunds on time.

Yes, yes, yes. If you have partisan trump-loyal fools at every position, the whole economy will/could tank, then retirements, then the rest of the world economy and all of a sudden the whole world is swimming in ruin.

If being a Trump sycophant is the foremost qualification for getting hired by the Trump administration (and it will be), the resulting corruption, incompetence, and chaos will know no limits.

True, but this time around, they won’t be so incompetent. They have the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation who will provide the loyal sycophants for Trump’s next administration. Their long-term agenda is turning this nation into Christo-fascist authoritarian kakistocracy.

So if Trump wins, all bets are off!…:)

In my experience, businesses have a lot of weirdness and I assume that holds true for the government. I knew a guy who got forced into retirement as a programmer, and then suddenly lots of things started to break in seemingly unrelated systems. They had to bring him back (at much higher wages) to get the wheels back on the wagon.

Just one example. I have many more. I don’t think replacing people is all that straightforward.

Yep, just look at the RNC, being forced to hire back 60 staffers they fired after the Trump takeover.

I'm shocked they weren't able to just canvas a Trump rally and hire 60 Trump cultists who were also competent at accounting and administration. /s

Agreed, but you’re assuming they haven’t already infiltrated these institutions already…:)
