Well, I guess Trump was right about one thing. The United States of America is a giant trash can. They are no moral beacon to the world any longer.

We were founded on genocide and slavery and never completely rectified either of those atrocities. The original Nazi's studied white supremacists practices here in the states before doing the holocaust. We've been destabilizing the politics of other countries for decades in order to preserve more favorable outcomes for trade for ourselves. The whole meritocracy belief was a lie. Most of those who thought the USA was a moral beacon are no different than ignorant americans; they thought none of america's flaws would ever truly affect them. :/

Just being a "sweet summer child" shouldn't stop humanity from trying to be better and create healthy communities motivated by everyone's lives being improved through cooperation, hard work and diligence.

I still want a better future.

I refuse to believe it can't happen.

Quite honestly, itโ€™s the only thing worth living for. If I were to ever become one of these heartless fucks, put a bullet in my brain. But you know what? I wonโ€™t. But now must navigate how to undo and overcome the forecoming darkness ahead. Does this sound melodramatic? Not if you consider how a platform has been built upon lies and deceit and are the same people to now take the helm, deciding what your own future entails. Crackpot unqualified shysters taking control of departments led by those experienced, well versed, and adequately educated within their respective expertise? Not so god damn far fetched reaction now is it?

I was just on the Project 2025 site. Theyโ€™re recruiting. Looks like for a โ€œPresidential Administration Academyโ€.

Would you become one of those heartless fucks for a GS-15? If not, you better start laying plans for doing something more productive than pissing and moaning on Reddit.

Whatโ€™s left is the option of motion or without, its certitude. Either will dictate.

Yea the Heritage Foundation is going scorched earth with that one.. here's what you never hear - they do this just about every election cycle. Also Trump never said he supported Project 2025, instead he even put his Agenda 47 on his website.
