Time and again we warned that Project 2025 was the Trump agenda. And time and again the corporate media regurgitated Donald Trump’s lie that it wasn’t. Lots of reasons why we’re in this mess, but that’s undeniably a big one.

💯 — not to mention the guy who chose them all
This is what happens when you have an entire cabinet full of folks who would NEVER pass a regular security clearance.
Led by a president who would never be able to pass one either.

According to MAGA, if you hit a car with a baseball bat because you don’t like the company’s owner you’re a “terrorist”, but if you hit a Capitol police officer with a baseball bat because you don’t like the results of an election, you’re a “patriot.”
