The language of the linked article by Mr Barrington Salmon may seem to veer into conspiracy territory at times…if it wasn’t so well-documented. At the risk of “yelling into a echo chamber”…
“The actions of liberal politicians in Washington have created a desperate need and unique opportunity for conservatives to start undoing the damage the Left has wrought and build a better country for all Americans in 2025,” the Project 2025 manifesto said. “It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on day one of the next conservative administration.”
Meyerson, editor-at-large at The American Prospect, said far-right conservatives and The Heritage Foundation have an extensive enemies’ list that includes “welfare recipients, lazy and liberal civil servants, anti-business regulators, environmentalists, and union bosses, “scientists, woke bureaucrats, woke educators, woke diplomats, woke generals and admirals, woke G-men, and anyone who doesn’t indulge the next Republican president’s every whim (an adaptation to the likelihood of a Trump nomination),” in the commentary titled, “The Far Right Has a Plan to Remake America. They Even Wrote It Down.”
America is at an inflection point, vacillating on a knife’s edge because of Trump, who has tapped into a deep reservoir of grievance, hatred and resentment plans that will be fully unleashed in a second term. Trump’s incendiary rhetoric – mirroring Hitler and Mussolini – is convincing observers that he’s a fascist, to add to his authoritarian bent.

There is no more neutrality in the world. You either have to be part of the solution, or you’re going to be part of the problem.
How can you vote against something that has already been getting enacted for the last few presidential terms. This shift started with Bill Clinton, it’s just until recently it got a name.
You vote Biden and not Trump. You then keep working to make the system and world better.
That’s gonna be a hard no. Unless you are from the donor class there is no ‘make the system better,’ this is pure delusional thought. Liberals made the same claim in 2020 by declaring ‘push Biden left after the election,’ he just moved further right.
But that just isn’t true, he didn’t move further right, he has moved left. Not nearly as far as I would like, but definitely left. He’s turning out to be the most progressive president since LBJ. Admittedly, that’s more of a criticism of how right wing the office has been in that time, than it is high praise of Biden, but it is true.
You are falling off script, its supposed to be FDR.
“I don’t like what you’re saying, therefore you’re clearly following someone else’s script”
All the echo chambers parrot FDR, and Biden isnt to the left of either. Hes to the right of Reagan and Baby Bush
If I’m not saying what you were prepared for, maybe you are the one with a script. It’s LBJ. LBJ was significantly more left than Biden, but can you name one since?
Yepp. “Vote blue no matter who” is worse than MAGA at this point, because at least conservatives are honest about who they are.
Okay comrade.
The main problem is that largely over the course of our country’s recent history it is one vs one. It just doesn’t work. If you were hiring for a very specific, hard, responsibility filled job would you pick between only 2 people? Yes I know that primaries start with more but lets be real - how many of those weren’t already decided before the campaigns started.
Exactly the way that Malcolm X described them In bullet or the ballot, wolf versus the fox. The exact same way that MLK referred to them in letters from a Birmingham jail.
Please explain. What exactly has been enacted? A rightwing authoritarian state?
What? Again, please explain. What “shift” started with Clinton? What is this name of which you speak?
Go back about 30 years and research DLC and 3rd way democrats. The entire shift to the right started with Bill Clinton at that point.
It’s always been a right-wing authoritarian state, when Trump was locking up protesters during the George Floyd protests, Democrats correctly called him out for it. But were strangely silent while protesters protesting against mass genocide in Gaza are also getting arrested, losing their jobs, while ignoring that he further funded Israel and completely bypassed Congress to get them more weapons. Sounds very authoritarian to me.
