    Our only hope is if Project 2025 ends up not being implemented in full because of its one fatal flaw: Donald Trump didn’t think of it first. He might ignore parts of it out of spite, just to make sure the Heritage Foundation understands that it is not President.

      Yeah, I also suspect he may be dumb enough to do something like dissolve the IRS. Which would more or less destroy all forms of federal governmental power both soft and hard. Its something rhe sovcits have wanted for decades and I would not be surprised in the least if he got convinced by one.

        No more IRS? Looks like I’m not going to allow any federal tax to be withheld from my paycheck.

          Its actually a bit dumber than just that. The sovcits want the sheriff’s to collect taxes, im pretty sure my county sheriff would sooner kill themselves rather than even think about such a suicidal idea.

      Trump is really bad at following through.

      Other than the millions of deaths and the bad economy, which are weirdly short-term things, what did he actually accomplish first term aside from fucking up the judiciary? And even that was really more of a McConnel accomplishment from the Obama era.

        Didn’t he implement something like 2/3rds of the Heritage Foundation’s policy proposals in his first term?
