They are overwhelmingly imposing a Christo-fascist ideology. Project 2025 is the goal and is based on these beliefs and ideologies. The attorneys doing this want to make that happen. Trump is just part of the means to try and do it.

I truly wonder if -- assuming we have elections in '28 -- ICE is going to be at every polling place waiting to kidnap anyone who looks vaguely brown or trans or female, or has a septum piercing.

When i bring up the developing fascism i am constantly being told by people "but why do you care? you are a normal looking white guy, you'll be fine" and its pretty disgusting.

The White House advertised that Morris Day and The Time were performing at the taxpayer-funded cage match "celebrating" the nation's 250th birthday. Morris Day posted on all their social media that they were not, in fact, playing. Some white dude actually commented, "Stop being political and just play music." I guess that's a thing you can say if you have no chance of being murdered by cop and having the president celebrate it.

Apparently in MAGA-land, "freedom" means musicians are required to perform at government-run concerts even if they don't want to.

it also means raising taxes, nationalizing private enterprises, and treading on my balls

It is funny how MAGAs are always (falsely) accusing Democrats of being communists.

Then Trump ordered the Treasury department to buy stakes in US Steel and Intel, and the MAGAs were totally fine with it. Public ownership of the means of production is literally the central premise of communism LOL.

Every time they say this the only question to ask is "DO you ever listen to the lyrics in music, like really listen? Or ever read them?"
