  1. An American French Revolution where we burn down the mansions of billionaire kings.

  2. > “Put politics off to the side, any president having to second guess, triple guess, every decision they’re making in their official capacity—you couldn’t have the republic that you just described,” he said.

    President to White House lawyer: “Can we do this?”

    Lawyer: “Let me check on that… looks like a no.”

    President: “Alright, then we’ll do something else.”

    Wow, the way this has historically worked through our entire country’s history has somehow hobbled presidents so badly that we now need a king.

  3. You’re kidding yourself if you think this is hyperbole. _They’re the minority at present and have already accomplished major policy goals_

    Roe v Wade

    Chevron

    Trump Immunity

    It’ll be nice to win in November, but they’ve mostly already gotten away with the heist. Unless we win in Nov and reform the supreme court who gives af

  5. Setting aside how terrifying all of this is, imagine how dumb and brainwormed you have to be to think you’re battling tyranny bc some people like electric cars, Star Wars has a diverse cast and your hero Donald Trump, a lifetime criminal, was investigated a couple times with no real repercussions.

    Real George Washingtons we have here.

  6. The christian-nationalist, privatize-everything, dismantle-the-state revolution is not really a revolution. It’s a counter enlightenment reaction.

    Everyone who has read Jefferson, Madison, Franklin knows that English common law is in no way derived from christian religious law, that money is a public utility placed into circulation for the people’s benefit, that distributive property taxes on land owners are fine, and that the state is a simply a set of citizens with individual rights & civic duties.

    Let’s keep working on living up to the ideals of the first American Revolution instead.

  8. With a stacked SCOTUS I’m surprised Americans think all they can do is vote in November. After SCOTUS overturned Roe, Chevron, and ruled on Trump immunity, what makes you think they won’t hand Trump the election like they did Bush when Al Gore was running?

  9. Every vote is essential. Check your voter registration. Make sure you are still registered to vote. And make sure you vote this November

  10. Vote this November as if SCOTUS just gave a convicted felon immunity, and this is your last chance to vote

  11. Have you noticed that conservatives talk about American Revolution, Civil War, and still support the guy who wants to be a dictator day one? This is the Republican Party.

    Voters should focus their attention on conservatives’ Project 2025. If you think conservative justices overturning Roe was bad, the MAGA conservative floodgates are about to open if Trump is sent back to the Oval Office. Trump will consolidate power, demolish the separation of powers, and appoint more conservative justices. As John Oliver said in a great segment he did on project 2025, it will turn the separation of powers into Rock, Paper, Scissors, except Rock will crush Paper and Scissors every time.

    It’s interesting, and should be horrifying, that Project 2025 starts off its 920 page report with the phrase, cultural Marxism, because it has a dark heritage.

    “The long march of [cultural Marxism]
    through our institutions has come to
    pass.” Project 2025

    Cultural Marxism is often used to describe liberals and as an analogy to political correctness. But more often than not, it is now being used by the far right, by antisemites, as code for Jewish conspiracy.

    Prior to 1933, there was a feeling in Germany that there had been a cultural and moral collapse. This fed the populism of the Nazis. The Nazis pushed out messaging that there was a plot to spread political, communist, and other revolution throughout the Weimar Republic and the West. This idea, building on Mein Kampf, has been pushed forward throughout history and has now ended up in Project 2025, blaming liberals for all of conservatives’ problems.

    Trump is performative arts with a dangerous authoritarian twist. He is a carnival barker who praises dictators and incites violence. He lied multiple times during the debate, refused to answer questions, defended January 6 rioters, and refused to say he would accept the results of the election. Yes, Biden had a bad debate. But Trump is a danger to our democracy, full stop. Democracy is a Group Project. Vote Democrat down the ballot.

  12. We’re fucked. This is the most hopeless I’ve felt about America in my life. 

  13. The Handmaids Tale was supposed to be a cautionary tale , not a fucking instruction manual

  14. Conservatism is a sham and a lie. They don’t want to conserve anything, they want radical change and regression.

  15. If it comes down to a blood fight against the far right I’m down. I’m not going to live in a world dictated by religion and a few people’s beliefs.

  16. The warnings signs are in plain view for every single American. Even the “I don’t follow politics” crowd is definitely seeing all of this unfold. If America votes for Trump in November then we will have to accept that the US we have known for the last 40 years is gone.

  18. We’re watching this closely in Canada, and my heart sinks evey time I see the US inch closer to tyranny. All of this is deeply concerning and the repercussions of the US becoming a failed state will be felt well beyond the US borders. There is still some hope but now is the time for Democrats to act decisively.

  19. Reminder that we got to this point because republicans lost their shit after a black man became president. We ignored the disease for far too long until it grew strong enough to do real damage.

  20. I hate to say it, but leftists and liberals need to arm themselves and start forming militias and developing plans for defending our friends, families, and communities. Voting is not going to save us from this.

    I don’t want to be a Revolutionary but I would rather die fighting than submit to a theocracy.

  21. Democracy dies and for whom ? A confident, tall, white, broad-shouldered narcissist, a failure who shits his pants, a coward who lies & rapes underage girls

  23. “Oh boy! Can’t wait to sit the election out as a protest so the dems know they have to _earn_ my vote 😤”  says the independents and leftists who barely pay attention 

  24. Imma grab my Kentucky rifle and powdered wig and fight me some redcoats. Fuck your King.

  26. Hey reddit! Project 2025 wants to outright ban pornography. This and this alone should spur you to action. Zip up and go register to vote! YES, NOW!

    >Pornography, manifested today in the omnipresent propagation of transgender
    ideology and sexualization of children, for instance, is not a political Gordian knot
    inextricably binding up disparate claims about free speech, property rights, sexual
    liberation, and child welfare. It has no claim to First Amendment protection. Its
    purveyors are child predators and misogynistic exploiters of women. Their product
    is as addictive as any illicit drug and as psychologically destructive as any crime.
    Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce and distribute it should
    be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed
    as registered sex o!enders. And telecommunications and technology firms that
    facilitate its spread should be shuttered.

  29. This is why so many people were brainwashed into thinking anti-fascism was the enemy in 2020. The term has become synonymous with terrorism and all sorts of other vile objections. People came out of everywhere to go to places like Portland to get a chance to murder people as they were seen as the enemy.

    When in fact they are people that saw this coming.

  31. I mean, that’s terrifying, but at the same time the current President didn’t do great at a debate so I think we should just throw away our nearly 250 year old system of government.

  32. This makes me sick. These people are traitors and should be treated as such.

  33. A “revolution” where a majority of the populace doesn’t support or back that revolution. What could go wrong?

    Like maybe this is wishful thinking, but even with the seemingly 50/50 split of the voting public’s support of Trump vs Biden, there is no way the MAJORITY of American people would support this Christo-Fascist takeover, right? If this comes to fruition, I have to imagine there is going to be massive unrest and not just from the “radical left”.

  34. “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless, if the left allows it to be.”

    Already prepared to blame the victims when they start murdering people.

  35. More Far Right Catastrophism, great…

    Don’t let the Accidentalist Republicans in Congress fool you with any sort of condemnations they might offer. They want it too.

  37. It’s not Project 2025. It’s project 1975. The GOP has been spending decades to get their sycophants in position to mold the country to what they want it to be: which is to regress society back to where wealthy white men had all of the power, women were absolutely subservient to them, black people and persons of color were slaves or non existent, and LGBTQ people didn’t exist. They’ve already accomplished most of their goals and once Trump is back in office that’ll be it. There won’t be a need for elections. Republicans will take power and keep it. The capitalists shaped the country so that they will always be in control, and even after Trump is elected that will remain true. The game was rigged from the start.

  38. It will be “bloodless” if the other side concedes. Concede, hell. Your tax dollars pay for this claptrap because Heritage is an “educational” entity. Let’s put this 503c nonsense to bed in the next Congress. If you want to spew nonsense, the public shouldn’t have to underwrite it.

  39. I know a lot of right wing loons personally with their finger on the trigger waiting for Trump to give them their marching orders. Fortunately most of them will gas out the first time they have to run more than 50 feet but it is not a great prospect for this country. So sad these are the people that claim to be “patriots”.

  40. This is not a revolution, it’s a devolution.

    It turns America back into a monarchy ruled by a not very Christian king who imposes his version of Christianity and limits whichever freedoms and choices he feels like.

    It’s fuckn 18th Century England.

    Is that when America was great? Before it became America?
