Well, that took exactly no time at all.
This one probably won't even be brought up for a vote. The administration is too new and hasn't fully taken power throughout the federal government. But then they'll introduce it again later, and it will get some votes that everyone will think is just the extreme cultist representatives. Then they'll do it again, and some "mainstream" (if that can even really be applied to current Republicans) will vote on it. But that's "just performative". We know they're just doing it because their base wants it and it won't pass so it's ok, no need to get worked up about it. Then after waves of right wing propaganda justifying it as "not that bad an idea" and the leadership counts their votes, they'll introduce it again and it will pass.
We spent years and years dismissing the attacks on abortion and pretending the people making them were just performing. Then the court killed Roe and now there's a lot of very serious efforts to enact all those things.
They are speedrunning everything, it seems.
Almost like someone wrote a plan for this. Something he could use as a guide on 2025. So probably just this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleichschaltung
The firehose of bullshit.
Don't be distracted by everything happening along the edge. Find the control points and disable those.
Ikr? I was painting a worst case scenario to my spouse yesterday and added "and don't think it would be over in 4 years - the whole point is to stop democracy, so I guarantee in a year or two there will be a bullshit excuse and bam! More years of Trump as a "wartime president" or some other shit"
Not even a fucking week...
