    After reading through the list of liberal complaints about what a unique and scary thing a 2nd Trump term would be, in particular with regards to the Project 2025, I’m beginning to wonder why Libs don’t ever make demands of their party. Like, if Trump plans on sacking a whole bunch of civil-servants because they are perceived as disloyal to him/the GOP, then you already know what the gameplan for the Right is going to be, so just begin making your own preparations. Begin making your own database of freaks whom the GOP has put into power for being loyal foot-soldiers to the party and the second you get back into any sort of room that with decisionmaking power, begin ruthlessly purging them. Not like Biden is even against the concept of a purge, judging by how his team of bat-shit Neocons are currently running Ukraine.

      Don’t you see? If we make demands of Biden, he might get ANGRY and in his wrath will unleash Trump upon us! We must appease the BIDEN lest we suffer under the hands of THE CHEETO ONE for our lack of faith!

      Last election cycle, I got flamed by libs for suggesting that incoming administrations like Biden don’t seem to have plans for implementing their ideas. They say something like “Biden is going to cancel student debt” then when I ask what the steps to do that would be, I just get NPC “neutral, neutral, neutral, mad” comic face. I then ask "there isn’t even a folder laying around the Biden campaign office that has plans in it?

      Apparently I’m a big, stupid asshole for asking stuff like that.

            … Then in University I learned that they based the powers of the President almost whole cloth from the Powers the King had at the time except he was elected … and Could be charged with a crime … (except now that is up for argument … so… I guess back to king agian)

              When it’s (D) king, you can’t criticize them and anyone who does is an enemy of the kingdom.
