  • People who saw project 2025 for what it was were not caught by surprise at all. Trump himself barely matters, it people like Peter Thiel and the heritage foundation who write policy. They need the US to fall apart and they don’t mind helping Putin a bit along the way.

    Trump often reminds me of the Galactic President from the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

    “Only six people in the Galaxy knew that the job of the Galactic President was not to wield power but to attract attention away from it.”

    So they choose someone flamboyant and zany and scandalous who will give the press nice headlines and good repeatable quotes.



  • Yeah it’s weird, and if there are elections popular opposition candidates will face a fate like mr Navalny, I’m afraid. Much as I would like AOC as a US president, I think at this point, she needs to run for her life rather than for president. And believe me, I truly hate that this is the case.

    She is an amazing person and a fantastic leader. However she is the kind of person the fascists fear and she is also the right shade of skin to earn a one way ticket to El Salvador.

    You see the people clamoring for the deportation of mr Mamdani, and he is at this point nothing more than one party’s possible candidate for mayor of one town. Imagine what would happen if ms Ocasio-Cortez were an actual presidential candidate!?

    Even now I worry about her safety often. Same for that wonderful ms Crockett, mr Frost and a few others.
