Heritage Foundation president celebrates Supreme Court presidential immunity ruling: "We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be" https://t.co/ndMJlNlUKH

Look at this Bond villain bullshit: "which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be." What he's saying right there is, will remain bloodless if the left lays back and lets it happen. Because I guess it's fun to threaten a whole Revolution. Tea Party people. I swear. They really want to see themselves proudly fighting to--
Install a monarchy? Undo the first American Revolution? Institute a lot of Christian nationalist and white supremacist rubbish that the majority of Americans don't want?
Um--exactly. And there are a lot of former Trump Administration officials supporting this blueprint for chaos.
Anyway, when I saw that term, "bloodless", all I could think of was 1/6 and the testimony of a Capitol police officer that she was slipping in people's blood that day. They thought they were re-creating 1776. What they were doing was insurrection. What the 'bloodless" Project 2025 document boasts is undoing the American experiment of a government of, for and by the people--unless those people are conservative activists.
Grand phrases like "restore the family" and letting people "live freely" won't include reproductive freedom to create one's family as one sees fit. "Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness" won't mean just that for LGBT Americans. What's in store for us if Republicans win is a conservative wish list that means disaster for the environment, for unions, for education, for health care and for senior citizen and disabled people's benefits. There's a little something (or a LOT of somethings) for everyone to hate about it.
The stakes are very high, and it is clear that we've got six conservative justices that will applaud Trump carrying this program out every step of th way. And the thing of it is--all this deeply unlikeable policy? They aren't trying to hide it. They are very proud of what they are about to do.
As for me, I am proud of things like civil rights, democracy, a strong social safety net, protection of our natural resources so that we have a healthy future for our children. Education. Health care. I want an America where people have access to the basic needs to live in dignity and security.
This is why we must vote our values. Republicans cannot win, because I shudder to think what it means for our republic.

i dunno about you, but i'm SO fucking tired of being threatened all the fucking time by these fascist fuckfaces.
Authoritarians don't seem to understand that people who are not authoritarian don't LIKE bullies. A lot of us even hit back.
And hit hard.
I'm looking forward to it ...
