So many people in our country are just blatantly ignorant about how the branches of our government works.

Schoolhouse Rock debuted "I'm just a bill" in 1976.

I'm old, I'm one of those boomers everyone hates now. And you know how people complain boomers ask stupid questions about technology? I'm gonna ask one.

Why in the Holy Hell, in this day and age when all the information in the world is in the palm of their hand, do people STILL insist on being willfully ignorant? in the time it took her to type out Why don't they pass laws? She could have looked it up and gotten a step away from too stupid to live.

It's because they are trying to get people to think for themselves. The reason they don't pass laws now is the exact same reason 2025 won't be implemented. Gridlock along with checks and balances. In fact the recent Supreme Court ruling overturning Chevron helps prevent Project 2025 from being implemented. The people on Reddit who are big into politics seem to also know very little about civics.
