Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

only far far worse
The aim in a 2nd term for Trump would be to immediately politicize thousands of government positions that are apolitical and require years of education and experience to be competent. The administration felt hampered by being told "no" and "that's illegal" and "we can't do that" by so many of these long-standing staffers that they want to sweep away more than just cabinet and executive positions, but also thousands of jobs that literally keep the government going. It's a GOP wet dream... say that the government is useless and inefficient to get into office and implement changes that make those claims true. But beyond that, it immediately sets up even more executive power which has been their aim since Nixon.
Or to put it into perspective, the US president, thanks to the Supreme Court, now has all the power Hitler needed a false flag operation and emergency powers for. Step 2 in establishing a fascist system is always putting loyalists in key positions and jailing (better: killing) any opposition.
Project 2024 is really just Projekt 1933 with a fresh coat of paint.
Thousands of government and military positions. Don’t believe for a second that he’d restrict himself to civilian agencies and bureaucracies.
Filling the swamp.
Because surrounding oneself with incompetent loyalists has never gone wrong for a dictator before..
So, just like his pal Putin's oligarchs.
Fuck the media, fuck their delusional lying ways:
"Project 2025 is just reinstating something we had before."
No it's fucking not.
He's such a pathetic piece of shit. Watching people fighting for jobs with what seems to be affection for dearleader, is not affection, you sad clown.
