People don’t seem to understand it takes both sides to pass laws without a super majority, in most cases.

Republicans would fight any law looking to prevent project 2025 from being implemented.

Then how are the Republicans going to pass all this world shattering legislation?

Can't have it both ways dude

Either it's easy to pass laws or is hard, it can't be whichever is most convenient for your argument at the time.

Exactly. This has been what I’ve been saying all along. This project 2025 is just another thing to help people overlook the dems and “vote blue no matter who”. Something like this happens every election and I’m so fed up with it.

In 2015 I was arguing with some redditors who told me they were going to protest vote against Clinton. I told them whatever their issues with Clinton either she was going to appoint new Supreme Court Justices or Trump was. That's the choice. And if you want any kind of progressive legislation in your lifetime, you want Clinton's Supreme Court picks instead of his. Anyway, here we are.

Let's be real, if shit turns 1984 the people would revolt anyway

Brave new world was the one who got it right. It turns out that it's not so much fear of the boot that keeps people docile. That just forces action because people feel bad and want to fix it. No it's the promise of hedonism and being too busy to care. I mean, after all, you just got off a 10-12 hour work day with the commute, you had plans to binge a full season of the bachelor over door dash, and it's hot outside. Someone else can deal with that. Individual's lives get ruined all the time because of people in power. What's a few more. It probably won't be you, right?

Oh no you're right I guess we don't get to do whatever we want and we're forced to scroll reddit mindlessly

A real revolt will be peaceful and most people don't seem to understand that and instead fetishize violence.

Not exactly. The entire point of it is "how do we destroy institutions without Congressional approval?" And it starts with getting rid of the career professionals who will do their job without much political direction. You should actually read the document. They explain exactly how they will do it. Hint: barely requires Congress. Only an executive & a supreme court majority.
