So apparently the authors of project 2025 are confused as to why their economic plans are tanking our economy.
I'm confused as to how they didn't know before hand that their plans would be an epic failure?
Didn't work in the 80s, certainly wouldn't work in 2025.

Technically, I am a pantheism. It is my religious belief that I am supposed to act in accordance with my my innate personality traits, to the extent that I cause no unnecessary harm, or interfere with others who follow that directive.
But either way - GC ideology being codified into law chafes and disgusts me as much as being forced to abide by Sharia or Catholic precepts.
Non belief is a also a protected characteristic. Forcing gender critical ideology into law violates my right to non belief.

You cannot accept tens of millions of dollars from foreign governments and simultaneously conduct high-level diplomacy for the federal government.
It says it right in the Constitution.
