That’s pretty much the Republican party at this point. Project 2025 either convinces you the Republicans are going to far and avoid them like the plague or it speaks to all your petty fears and hates convincing you that only the Republicans are the party for you.

The real problem, in my experience, is the large number of people. from all over the political spectrum, who will say, “Oh, that’s not what the party wants, that’s not what the politicians will do, it’s just some people saying things.” and just like, NO THEY REALLY DO WANT TO LINE ME AND HALF THE PEOPLE I KNOW UP AGAINST THE WALL AND SHOOT US DEAD, really seriously truly they do.

It’s “surely they won’t actually do those things…” to, “well, it’s still better than being a Democrat” then vote for them giddily.

And then they use the very same taxpayer dollars they’re supposedly so concerned about to defend the inevitable lawsuits.

The fact of the matter is that it’s been the Republican party for decades, at least. It’s just now, with donnie Bin Laden and those who now feel emboldened because of him, the mask is off.

It’s now very difficult for the corporate bothsiderist “liberal media” to pretend otherwise - though they sure do continue to try…

Is it? What would Thomas Clarence Clarence Thomas say? What about Sam Alito? Because that’s who they’ll be asking if it’s illegal or not.

I once had a philosophy professor that said “The only black person in America that hates other black people is Thomas ClarenceClarence Thomas.” And, aside from the fact that Candace Owens exists, Clarence is one of the most far right…errr…injustices on the court.

You know your criticism of Justice Thomas would be a lot more compelling if you knew his name.

It somehow violates two seperate parts of the 1st amendment, which would be slightly impressive if it weren’t being used to kill people

It’s not really “batshit crazy” when there’s prominent figures in a major right-wing party who would enact the proposal in a heartbeat.

The fact that some right wingers want to enact it doesn’t make it any less batshit crazy. It means that they, too, are batshit crazy.

Once, people on the internet thought I was crazy for thinking Roe v. Wade would be overturned. And all the laws ALEC got passed were once just “crazy proposals from a far right think tank.” If we underestimatr the right, they win.

It’s not “far-right” if all conservatives are voting for this shit. These people aren’t “the fringes” of their party. They are their party.

Conservatives are vile sub-humans who seek to oppress and harm the vulnerable. They genuinely delight in the misery of others. Every act of bigotry, misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia, transphobia, and antisemitism comes from conservatives. They are not “the extremists” of their group. They are their group.

Teach your children why we don’t do business or keep relationships with conservatives. Marginalize hate by marginalizing the hate group.

The problem is that the Republican party isn’t a “center-right” party anymore (if they ever were). They are now a far right party. In the past, Republicans would give dogwhistle support to far right causes, but would moderate their stances to get widespread public support. Now, Republicans have decided that there’s no need to moderate. Instead, they’ll simply remove democracy so that they can remain in power no matter how unpopular their views.

Philip Wallach of the American Enterprise Institute called the visioning effort an “authoritarian fantasy.”

When the center-right is like “slow down, too far crazy right”, you know it’s bad.

I think the center right is more like “Don’t say it out loud yet, we don’t have enough public support.”

When it comes to Republicans, I don’t think there’s actually a divide between moderates and radicals. There are the people who want to impose a Handmaid’s Tale authoritarian theocracy right away. Then there are the people who also want a Handmaid’s Tale authoritarian theocracy but think they don’t have enough public support for revolution and want to gradually move America further to the right by taking over school boards and sabotaging liberal public institutions and so on. The destination is the same, only the strategy differs.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.

Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
