    OMFG dude, Project 2025 is burning the system down. What do you think dismantling the federal bureaucracy, illegally shuttering federal agencies, and removing the independence of the FBI and DOJ is? He promised to take a wrecking ball to the entire system, and low information voters said, “fuck it, my life has only grown worse under this system, might as well.”

    I could further explain how the Democratic primary system has been suppressing progressives for the last quarter century, but since you didn’t engage with any of the points I’ve already made on that topic, it would be a waste of my time. I can’t tell if you’re an American who knows shockingly little about their own government or a foreigner who’s arrogant enough to explain another countries political systems to their own citizens, but either way, you’re embarrassing yourself.

      That’s just taking the system further, not burning it down. More power for billionaires, less for you.

        Yeah man, dismantling the administrative state the federal government built up over the last 80 years is, “taking the system even further.” You’re super smart.

          It has been being dismantled for the last 80 years, so yes, it is. More executive power every administration, more power to lobbyists every administration, more tax cuts for the rich every administration, etc.
