But can we also address the tepid response in the aftermath? Project 2025 is a real threat, just like all of the other things mentioned were. But also, whether or not it succeeds doesn't appear hinge on the outcome of an election if the opposition party doesn't engage in course correction.
"They're just fearmongering about Project 2025," brought to you by the people behind "They're just fearmongering about a coup" and "they're just fearmongering about abortion bans"

I just want to be clear that I think people should do what they feel they must to mitigate harm. But also, we can't just use these things as electoral issues and then kick the can down the road until next time like we've been doing with a lot of things.

The whole Dianne Feinstein situation had me believing Democrats mighta had that dog in 'em. That they were ready to be the party of Weekend At Bernie's. But now they asking a very alive man to step aside. It's a sad sight.

Don't wanna quoteskeet hat last thing because it feels like a sensitive topic, but personally while of course I love consuming media that is critical of our status quo, I am never lost on the sardonic nature of 'CATHARSIS, brought to you by your literal oppressor' when it comes to that sorta thing.

most voters don’t know much about project 2025 but most would 100% find stephen miller weird and bad if they knew about him

And very often, it's also a family business: lepen father (very old and ill atm, fingers crossed), had to let his daughter Marine lead the party - Bardella is her nephew by alliance. During the elections, the other niece defected to the another party, scammed them of all their money, and left.

And also, even the most dedicated bigots will have a handful of Jews/Blacks/Queers that they "love," and will work with. They're the good ones. Until they're not. Or until they're not pulling their weight. Le Pen will "defend" Jews until it's no longer profitable.

I think blocking is good and necessary, but it certainly does hit different when you see someone get blocked for pointing out that it's complicity to overlook or gloss over the elements of our society that appear to require it to be a global genocidal regime in order to function.

If it were a grift, alone, there'd be a rational core of ruthless self-interest. They are true believers, and that makes them more dangerous.

While that may be so, it is a mistake to underestimate ideology as a real motive. The worldview of fascism is determinate, even if its victims du jour may appear arbitrary. The core of fascist ideology is the logic of capital, taken to its logical conclusions. Centrism radicalized.

That’s Timothy Snyder’s thesis - fascists are grifters and the key to understanding fascist “policy” is that they latch onto whatever’s popular at the moment.

I think a reason we’re seeing a real time reshaping of fascism that appears confusing is because fascist leaders are at their core just the deadliest grifters. Their agenda is *still* to violently transfer the assets of others to themselves. They always need to manifest a fashionable enemy to do so.

That’s why Le Pen can say blatant absurdities like she wants to defend Jews from Islam when what she really wants is to further enshrine a false division.

A mezcal catador came in this morning & I loaded some boxes into her car & said bye. A few minutes later she walked back in the store and was like, “This is a morning mezcal!” and took me through a little solo tasting. Morning mezcal? Sure why not. You’re the expert! Super cute way to start the day

Well, yes, you aren’t going to convince nazis by talking about parks. However, this is the kind of concrete thing that seems to remind people that government is real and actually has an effect on people’s lives. Immigration is complicated, but lots of people have been to Yellowstone and went “Neat!”
