    It is not wrong and makes some vague nods at Project 2025 or what Mark Esper said, but mostly, yes. This article is about 75% “both sides.”

    It’s like the building is on fire and someone’s standing up at length and explaining how hiding in a corner isn’t a good idea, how the high height of the building and the increasing fire and the people who are actively blocking the exits are all valid significant concerns…

    Like bro LET’S FIGHT THE FIRE OR GET OUT OF THE BUILDING.

    Any article that includes phrases like “Frustration at the political sclerosis in Washington” or “a broken two-party system, growing partisan divisions” is a bunch of shit

    The problem is THEY WANT TO KILL THEIR POLITICAL OPPONENTS AND THE SUPREME COURT SAID IT IS OKAY FOR THEM TO DO THAT

    That’s not fucking POLITICAL SCLEROSIS

      You pretty much encapsulated how I feel about it. This article is trash in the conscious belief that I might have to exercise violence to protect my family from people that think we’re an abomination to their fake friend in the sky.

      I fucking HATE political weasel words like this. Fucking say the truth. One side is aiming for a fascist dictatorship. The Republicans.

        Back in the 1990s it was pretty accurate. Both parties were trash, okay yeah there was a marginal amount of difference I guess but they were both engaged in fucking the American people and barely distinguishable at the end of the day.

        Since then, the Democrats got a moderate amount better, and the Republicans turned into open Nazis. Anyone still saying “political gridlock” or whatever it is is the problem, had better wake the fuck up.

        The part that really blows my mind is places like the New York Times getting all pissy with Biden, apparently because his staff wouldn’t set up an interview with him or treat the NYT like kings of the realm like they though they deserved, and so they’ve decided to go after him like Joffrey after someone hurt his feelings. They will absolutely be out of work looking for new careers in an unfolding hellscape, at best, or maybe in the dock in a show trial or worse, if Project 2025 gets off the ground. They are literally endangering their own individual personal safety. I don’t get it.
