    If the democrats dont run on undoing absolutely every part of project 2025 then they are a failure as a party and should be burnt to the fucking ground.

      Assuming we even get to full fledged elections without things coming apart first, likelihood is they will run on decorum and following the constitution, without meaningfully challenging policy, and will faceplant as a result. It’ll probably go something like:

      Dem candidate is asked “A lot of voters are concerned about ICE, do you oppose it?” “I support following the constitution that our founding fathers laid out-” “But do you oppose ICE?” “I think we should be following legal procedures and blah blah blah.”

      So yeah, I expect nothing meaningful from them.

      If the Dems can’t commit to arresting and jailing all of the top leadership of ICE at the bare minimum then they are 100% complicit (add it to the pile of evidence of their complicity). Frankly we should be seeing calls for a Stalin-esque purge of the American government of Trump appointees at all levels and the full dissolution of right wing government agencies like the DHS, and the fact that the only ones still calling to abolish ICE (a fraction of what needs to be done) are the still-fringe Social Democrats is proof that the Democratic Party is simply not capable of rising to this historical moment.

      So yeah I remain pretty skeptical. I think the best outcome we can hope for is a four year pump on the brakes before we go right back to what’s happening now.
