Project 2025 was a warning. We knew what Trump would do if he was reelected. Now we're living it. There's a danger that comes with exposure to what would have once been unthinkable: What happens when what Trump is doing to our country starts feeling normal? joycevance.substack.com/p/boiling-th...

J.P. Morgan calculated that, given the cost of building & maintaining infrastructure, AI needed to generate $600+ Billion annual revenue to be profitable for investors. Which is equivalent to selling a $35/mo subscription to every smartphone user on the planet. In other words, this is not enough.

If we assume Trump is off the stage, Rs won’t run on policy. That’s over. They know people hate their ideas. It will purely be ‘That evil Democrat will take ____ away from you and hand it to THEM.’ A losing Dem will counter with ‘No, I won’t, I swear!’ A winner with ‘GFY, ya incompetent bigot.’

A lot of them will fall in line. Which GOPer won’t really matter so long as the Dem boogeyman is constructed effectively—especially if it’s a woman. A huge part of Republicanism right now is performatively hating women (plus the homoeroticism). In that instance, any white milquetoast R will do.
