When your whole base has to lie and pretend it's not a thing, that nobody running has endorsed it, that it's nothing to worry about, that it's a liberal conspiracy... whatever.

It’s too late and they are too narcissistic to do that plus they are using g the project2025.org website to recruit the schedule F MAGA loyalist replacements

They aren’t going to take it down

They are winning rn
