Really feel like we’re pre French Revolution where the rich paid no tax, hoarded the wealth, the middle class disappeared and the entire country was taxed into poverty without healthcare, education, food supplies…
Sadly it took along time for their heads to roll and for the middle class to recover…

I don’t think they’re shocked. I think the “smarter” authors knew it would, and it’s by design.
They don’t actually care about economic policy for most citizens.
They want a white Christian nationalist state, and an out group they can exploit economically.
By that measure, they’re succeeding.

Yeah. I teach economics. I teach what has worked and what hasn't.
It's weird that these Project 2025 idiots think they can change history. On the other hand, Noem said her orange moron prevented hurricanes, so I guess anything is possible with them. 😶

I doubt this. They know they are deliberately crushing us so we will be more easily managed in an authoritarian caste style system. They want us begging for scraps.

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.

Juries are not just part of our legal system — they are vital defenders of the right to protest.
With anti-protest laws still in place, I asked the Government what risks getting rid of jury trials will have on our democracy.

A US citizen woman screams: "I'm a US citizen. Please help me. Why are you doing this?" Population Control Police manhandled her, brought her to the ground, handcuffed, loaded her into a vehicle. Later released her. Kavanaugh stop or something worse? -12/3/25
