    He’ll also set forth many of the components of Project2025 which, if you haven’t read, is scary to say the least.

      I have, and it is terrifying.

      Even if Trump doesn’t get elected, eventually another republican will. And with goals of theirs looking like that, I don’t know if this country will be safe in the foreseeable future.

        Hopefully by Zoomers (currently aged 12 – 27) pushing back hard on it when they actually vote in large numbers. Because, you know, young people don’t vote.

        Thus all the social media PsyOps. Like it or not, TikTok is critical to the future of our country.

          For better or worse I’m hoping things like Taylor Swift getting involved helps the situation.

            Your heros will fail you. Don’t put your faith in taylor. Put your faith in the scum bags who piss in alleyways and wait for their next opportunity to punch a NAZI if the face.

              Don’t get me wrong, I am not putting any faith in Taylor Swift. I’m not a fan, and she is ultimately a piece of shit for a myriad of reasons.

              I’m more or less trying to express the same sort of “I wish I won the lottery” kind of energy, but the political equivalent.

          Zoomers aren’t even 30 yet and the oldest of Alphas (incl. my daughter) are just preteens. That said, you’re right, they are in grave danger of having the wool pulled over their eyes by viral disinformation campaigns; however, they have massive potential to use all that for benevolent purposes. We also have some time and opportunity yet to teach them the importance of civic duty and the critical thinking they will need to combat the gauntlet of scams they’ll be running through in the years to come.

            Right. I was off by a generation. Edited to fix, thanks for that.

              Not a problem. I blame it on the media referring to everyone they see as “them damn kids” as millennials

          I decidedly don’t like it.
