    And then we have the legions of young men who worship Andrew Tate that either openly support P2025 because “women bad” or act like it’s not a real thing.

    Yes, a 900+ page manifesto made by a think tank was made for the lulz.

      act like it’s not a real thing.

      or they think it is “real” but would never get through congress because “congress are too divided on everything”, while also complaining that the president has too much executive overreach…

      Like… do they even hear themselves? Hitler didn’t wait for the parliament to grant him power, he just declared it… and everyone just went with it.

        Really shows that checks on government actions only works when the checks do something and have the power to act on it.
