The heritage foundation and Project 2025 were in the planning for decades. They just didn't suddenly overnight control 60%+ of the state legislatures.

Ah yes add more ideas to an already impossible pipe dream that would quite literally require a constitutional constitutional convention and Democrats controlling the white house, supermajorities in Congress, and controlling 3/5 of the state legislatures.
Can we be more realistic? Baby steps.

The right wing played the long and slow game for decades. While Democrats were focused on a half decent shot at POTUS every 4-8 years they were taking over local and state politics.

Do you who can change them?
Of the 50 states, only 23 have a Democratic governor who can sign bills to change the maps. However they only have control of the state legislatures in 14 of those states.
Kinda have to actually vote and not expect miracles after decades of not.

FIFA is in Seattle. But you do you with constantly quoting Fox as if anything they say is factual.
FIFA is a private sporting event. They can hold it in Antarctica if they want to.

This might be good for when Europe sends €150 billion loan-for-weapons scheme to Canada. The US military cannot defeat the world. Give them a reason to liberate us.

Not really. The US is already cut out of the process and is irrelevant. Short of coming out militarily in support of the Kremlin this is just "Kremlin's claptrap" continued.

Don't worry, they will. Texas will be "constitutional" while California will have maps thrown out based on the words of a 11th century poet or something.

Note: although many historians and history books contend a static start and end dates for WW2, actually the timeline is more murky with significant events both proceeding and following the "official" start or end of the conflict.

Most people here have never experienced global war. The timeframes you quote are really not that long and your idea of timeframes for war are probably also skewed. Even at the onset, the Russian war against Ukraine was at least a 10-15 year conflict. WW2 took place over a period of decades.

And the media that is owned by his billionaire partners
There's not an election right now.
Trump doesn't have to do anything and the spotlight goes where the media tells us it goes.
Does he even need the Congress? The shutdown showed it differently.

He never actually has said or claimed that.

NBC is just reinforcing the state narrative. No "admiral" would actually say this because it's against international law. He could be arrested in any country now.

Doesn't matter. He's no longer an admiral but a civilian combatant and a war criminal. Any journalist would know the basic international laws on armed forces.

Of course it's not legal. It's also flatly illegal in any state. You can't arrest someone without a warrant. Even a middle school student newspaper would know this.
It's also illegal in many states, like Washington, to help ICE in any way or even contract with ICE.

And then Vance would be president and name Steven Miller as VP.
Not sure why pardons are relevant? Even when the Democrats controlled the white house for 4 years they didn't do any prosecution. They don't have the white house right now and thus pardons are not relevant to what happens in 2029.

I firmly believe Democrats won't hold the White House again if they can't get over the "good candidate" and "polling says this" mantra.
We need the best candidate. Not a "good candidate" who campaigns with primary defeated Republicans weeks before the election in states she can't ever win.

Yeah its really bizarre. She never had a path to victory, needed millions more votes in specific states. They just cannot accept the reality that the idea that all of America is not like them and that alot are racist despite the schools teaching "civil rights era" like it was long over already.
