It took almost exactly 5 years from publication for that to be commonplace.

I don’t think the administration will publicly admit his death. They’ll just deepfake him and claim he can’t make any appearances outside of video communication for national security reasons.

Unless the government collapses in the next 20 years and can’t pay it.

He never intended to build the Hyperloop. From the start, it was a lie to shut down a proposed project to build a west coast high speed rail line.

I’m sure if they take power, their first order of business would be to legalize all Nazi symbolism and drop the “we’re just run of the mill conservatives” facade entirely.

The wound predates Reagan and goes back to the Civil War. Sherman had the chance to cauterize it, but he held back and let it fester, and here we are.

So it’s a perfect analogy for conservatives.

Again, the corrupt and unsound form of speaking in the plural number to a single person, you to one, instead of thou, contrary to the pure, plain, and single language of truth, thou to one, and you to more than one, which had always been used by God to men, and men to God, as well as one to another, from the oldest record of time till corrupt men, for corrupt ends, in later and corrupt times, to flatter, fawn, and work upon the corrupt nature in men, brought in that false and senseless way of speaking you to one, which has since corrupted the modern languages, and hath greatly debased the spirits and depraved the manners of men;—this evil custom I had been as forward in as others, and this I was now called out of, and required to cease from.

Thomas Ellwood, ca. late 1600s.

The lethality is 52%. If it rips through the population, we’re looking at total collapse well before the vaccine is available.

Because people who don’t understand what words mean label every possible post-capitalist system as communism even though they’re as different from each other as they are from capitalism.

Every suppressed vote is as fraudulent as any fake vote.

A lot of Trump voters are horribly uninformed. They didn’t know - and still don’t know - what Project 2025 is. They thought it was fearmongering because they only heard about it from Dems. They have no idea what’s happening right now, nor do they care. All they know is their team won, and they’re otherwise tuned out. Maybe they’ll wake up when they feel the effects, but they’ll probably just blame Democrats because Fox News tells them to.

You won’t even know they’re ads, it will just implant false childhood memories, giving you positive associations with the brand.

How do you define a “just society” without having any concept of rights?

Legally, not without a constitutional amendment. But if he just declares he’s running anyway, the Constitution is as likely to stop him as any other piece of paper.

You can’t really separate the Holocaust from the Nazis.

A sack of garbage can be human shaped. Look at Elon Musk for example.

I swear this admin could hang up a giant swastika flag in the Oval Office and the media would defend it as “they’re just honoring Usha Vance’s Hindu heritage, it doesn’t matter that it’s diagonal in a white circle on a red background with the 14 Words underneath, it’s a symbol of peace and prosperity”

He also said it after, which you’d only conceivably do to give post-hoc plausible deniability. If it was what he really meant, he’d say it before or during.

The rich ones, at least. Longevity science under capitalism will result in a quasi-immortal upper class and a mortal lower class. Another looming threat of ultra-late capitalism.
