One of the wilder political things in recent history is that Project 2025 publicly released a 900 page document laying out their plans to roll back 100 years of human progress and then during the campaign Republicans just said "no we're not :)" and then they won and now they're doing it all.

Sigh. This is, I guess, a "me" problem. But nothing you could watch this week is better.

The medium-term goal here, which most of these people openly admit if you ask them, is the repeal of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, which restores their ability to segregate by race, bar black people from businesses, and racially discriminate.

This album is a personal 90s classic for me. I played it *out* in middle school. And just put it on a month ago to confirm that, yes, it is still a good listen (not just nostalgia)

Others truly *don’t* care about his ideas. They just want to be in the M*GA “in” crowd
