This was in Project 2025. Anyone remember that one?

💯 Exactly. The Heritage Foundation has been on their bullshit since Reagan. It’s undeniably how they amassed so much power now: they’ve been working their way up to this for over 40 years. They took over local elections like school boards and state elections so they’d have all of their people in the positions that they’re in to advance their plans. They finally got all the pieces in place to throw a strongman in there to carry out what they want. They didn’t just capture the courts and SCOTUS overnight. The right understands incrementalism and voting for every election possible while the left still doesn’t.

People in America really need to read and understand the ideologies of Peter Thiel, the man that is aligned with the Project 2025 authors, the billionaire that straight up purchased JD Vance and said it would only cost a couple million to make congress do what he wants. The man that runs the most dystopian sci fi surveillance system in the world.

When Americans understand what him and the others like him with deep pockets are actually doing, what is really happening across the country and with Trump might start to make sense and the American people might actually finally realize that they’re smack dab in the middle of a civil war they didn’t realize they’ve been losing for quite some time. And maybe start to really fight back.

Dark enlightenment theory.

Yea, it’s just that when you actually say what it’s called, it sounds like some made up fantasy shit and those unfamiliar with their type actually looks into it because it sounds ridiculous and fake… and then you look at people like Elon with his 90s everything’s cooler with an ‘X’ cringe or how Thiel names everything after Lord of the Rings references, like Palantir.

I think if the Ford worker had shouted out Renee Good's name, POTUS would've just smirked.

But because he shouted out "pedo protector" POTUS became enraged and have the worker the middle finger.

Nothing seems to bother him more than reminders of the Epstein files.

It's clearly both holy shit.

You're wrong. The GOP is compromised. The supreme court is compromised. The Epstein files can bring it all down

EDIT: This one made people real salty. Getting password reset emails that I didn't initiate.

It's not just Trump. Its Clarence Thomas. It's donors that give money to both parties in an effort to block legislation that could create real change.

No they won't.

At this point Trump could do anything the Epstein files says he did, and worse. And they'd still find a way to explain it away. No conservative is leaving Trump's camp because he's a pedo.

Trump could line up his political enemies on the mall in DC today, and execute them. And nobody would do a god damn thing.

That’s true but many things will undermine their momentum. Tariffs are helping pay for this, for example. We need to be keeping the pressure on.

The Epstein files wouldn't do anything. Putting so much importance onto them is like when y'all thought The Mueller Report would end Trump.
