The difference is caused by Trump being too tied up in court to commit his regularly scheduled crime spree.

Crime is dropping. Republicans are lying.

Two truths.

It's a sin to worship Taylor Swift but not a sin to worship Trump. Republicans are full of bullshit.

Vote Blue. The more blue, the better. The louder our voices, the better.

You don't change the system with non-votes. Staying out gives your power to the other side.

The funny thing is the indoctrination in college doesn't really exist. So much damage is done to the conservative ideology just by the fact that the students are forced to interact with black people, Jewish people, gay people and atheists and they find out that they are not evil or inferior. And that fact alone is often a torpedo strike below the water line that impairs their conservative ideology even if it doesn't sink it outright. Now look at how conservatives think about Affirmative Action and what effect that ultimately has on the ability to retain conservatives indoctrinated from birth.

People who have spent the last few years crying about how “THE WOKE IS INDOCTRINATING OUR CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS” are incredibly funny in a country with the Pledge of Allegiance

The funny thing is the system has guardrails to protect the president. Every president has an army of lawyers to tell them what exposes them to legal liability. Republicans push the bounds of credulity HARD in most of these cases, but even the highly scrupulous Obama administration, Obama was probably told that it isn't impossible that he might be brought up on charges for the assassination of Anwar al-Awlaki. Trump clearly didn't care for even a semblance of legality. He wanted to be a strong-man, dictator, cult leader, what was the law to a person like him? He pushed the bar further than even Republican permissiveness and now he gets to be the first president to (hopefully) go to prison for his crimes.

Resuming nuclear testing!? DO YOU KNOW HOW INSANE THAT IS!!!!???

Read the Project 2025 manifesto RIGHT NOW

It's MUCH worse than y'all have been hearing

There is so much here you'll have to look at it for yourself, but the climate policy alone is nightmare fuel.

The republican coalition wants to essentially end funding for green energy, dramatically promote and expand fossil fuel industries, and eliminate funding and regulations in all sectors promoting climate change mitigation. Task forces and offices related to clean energy and lowering carbon emissions will be eliminated and replaced with offices for promoting fossil fuels.

They want to LOG NATIONAL FORESTS TO "THIN" THE TREES TO STOP WILDFIRES.

THEY WANT TO FORCE OREGON AND CALIFORNIA TO LOG THEIR NATIONAL FORESTS AND TREAT THEM AS FOR TIMBER PRODUCTION

There are specific provisions in Project 2025 to essentially destroy the Endangered Species Act, causing it to defer to the rights of "economic development" and "private property." The plan includes delisting gray wolves, cutting the budget so that a "triage" system is used to determine which species will get protection, removing funding for research, removing experts and specialists from the decision-making process, and preventing "experimental" populations of animals from being established.

This is so much worse than I expected it to be and there's much more past that: They want to deregulate pesticides and remove much of the EPA's ability to regulate pollutants as well.

Also included in the manifesto is that we should

withdraw from nuclear weapons nonproliferation agreements, build more nuclear weapons, and resume nuclear weapons testing

The manifesto comprehensively outlines the scorched-earth elimination of abortion access, down to ensuring doctors aren't even trained to perform abortions. There are plans in here to disrupt abortion access GLOBALLY, not just domestically.

Not only that,the Republicans plan on reframing family planning programs around "fertility awareness" and "holistic family planning."

I can't even describe it all. I'm trying to give screenshots of the most important things but there's so much.

The foreign policy is a nightmare. They plan to push fossil fuels onto the Global South and promote the development of fossil fuel industry in the "developing world."

It is aggressive and antagonistic towards other nations, strongly pro-military, proposing that we INCREASE (!!!!!) defense spending, improve public opinion of the military and military recruitment, and increase the power to fund new weapons technology.

Just read the Department of Defense section. It's about greatly increasing and strengthening the military-industrial complex, collaborating more closely with weapons manufacturers, removing regulatory barriers to arming our allies and to inventing new military weapons, and recruiting more people into the military. They include provisions to develop AI technology for surveillance. And of course, continuing to support Israel is in there.

Elsewhere it proposes interfering in foreign countries with creepy pro-USA propaganda campaigns, even establishing international educational programs where faculty have to pledge to promote USA interests.

There's a line in here about getting rid of PBS because SESAME STREET is LEFTIST for God's sake.

HOW are people claiming democrats have the same policies. I feel like i'm losing my mind.
