I feel so insane every time I see someone listening or dancing to him and loving it unabashedly. It’s like everyone’s pretending not to have a problem with it so they keep something they like.

Casual reminder that the myth of β€œpulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

It could just be trolling. It's also fully possible they see themselves as the good guys not realizing that they're all orcs. To loosely quote Gandalf: "they're inbreeding an army"

β€œThe great battle of our time” is against - checks notes - innocent people, largely fellow Christians? I’m not sure whether to ride feeling offended by LOTR being perverted this way or marvel as the sheer stupidly and lack of self awareness.

It was very similar to Project 2025. Both times the Heritage Foundation laid out an entire political platform for an administration. According to Jane Mayer’s book Dark Money, Reagan implemented over 60% of nearly 1300 policy proposals. They used the same playbook, just more authoritarian now.

Yep. Carter was drinking that neoliberalism Kool-Aid. I think a big difference was Reagan just did whatever those right-wing think tanks wanted him to do. It's crazy in all the Project 2025 discourse I've seen that I never saw one mention of the Mandate for Leadership.

As difficult as it is - as a parent - to look down the barrel of this future, it’s nothing compared to the horrors our kids are on track to live through.

But to your point, Trump is the only one since the Burning of Washington to siege the Capitol and destroy the White House. Certainly much worse when the enemy is within!
