Project 2025 plans to use loyalty to Trump as the qualifier for being a federal employee if he is elected. You either kneel, kiss the ring, and ascribe to MAGA ideals or youre out.

Yeah, I’m waiting for this one next year. I’ll be out and part of the lawsuit over it. In a 6-3 decision I’ll stay fired

I'm worried that this is going to inspire reprisal attacks against Dems, especially downballot candidates with less security.

I think there's no way there aren't reprisal attacks in some fashion. One of the many layers of things are about to come completely unglued.

Think more like the Vegas Mandalay Bay shooter than anyone purely politically motivated. I'm thinking more along the lines of a school/spree shooter.

Definitely possible.

My current theory is that they know enough about the guy to know that he was definitely right leaning and likely a Trump supporter. They're gonna find out he was trying to martyr him or prove that he's sent by God or some other absolutely batshit thing. Even if Trump was genuinely shaken by this, and I think that's super likely even if it's temporary, I can't see the cooldown in rhetoric from everyone else without there being more known about the guy even if the motives aren't clear.

I'll add the caveat that I'm perplexed AOC and Bernie haven't come out with endorsements for Harris yet. Wasn't the main thrust of their argument that Democrats must align on the candidate to defeat Trump, just that they thought Biden was best positioned over an alternative?

AOC in particular called out party elites as trying to circumvent Harris. Surely the best way she can push back on that possibility now is through an immediate endorsement?

It's 159-1 at time of posting. I've never seen Democrats organized this well in my entire life.

Seems like they understand that any sort of ugly primary this late or nasty public infighting over this is not conducive to winning in November.

Huh wonder why not accept, a tiny bump could make a difference & if he loses again whatever & if he wins he can just not do it & RFK couldn’t do anything about it.

Having seen some of the stories coming out of the RNC I can only imagine the thought was they didn’t need it. It really seems like they already had the Clinton cruise to victory playbook running.

This needs to be a TV ad. Like yesterday.

Trump has already explained that type of thing away as just buying crooked politicians. It won't go anywhere.

Saw something in the D&D election thread and they got over $250,000,000.000 in donations in 24 hours from large and small donors. Just absolutely insane.

Every time I think I can't be amazed anymore, something happens.

The Republicans were caught completely flat-footed when their opponent was suddenly no longer an 81 year old man with a history of brain aneurysms.

They were not prepared for the possibility than an 81 year old man with a history of brain aneurysms might abruptly stop being their opponent.

They were caught off guard by the fact that an 81 year old man with a history of brain aneurysms suddenly stopped being a factor in the election

I was just thinking about this myself. Just blows the mind.

Make sure you get it on the way back from banging your girlfriend. Also a requirement.

Is her still being in high school a requirement or just bonus points?

The objectively correct choice. Shapiro has too much baggage and the pick would have been a nakedly obvious swing at Pennsylvania and nothing else.

I know it's all projection, but just loving lol at them becoming crowd size truthers when it isn't Trump exaggerating the size of his.

Yeah, that was not my best choice. I did not realize how fuckin doomery it is in there. It's like they want better things but don't really believe they'll come

I think the only thread I still read over there is the Elon one. The rest of it is very doomery mixed with just absolutely wild takes.

One of the better descriptions of her I've seen was something along the lines of it looks like she's wearing a death mask of her own face.

She's just a terrible overall human being. I highly doubt Trump is loving her, she doesn't seem his type at all. I'm probably very wrong though.
