B402, Thoreau would have been actively writing letters to government and writing pamphlets about what he saw as the basic wrongs in his society. And making public speeches. He wouldn't be boosting his ego by repetitive piling on, our two party system is fucked, it's the dems who left the workers... blah blah .. wash, rinse, wash, others who agreed with him about most of the basic issues he bitches about.

I suggest a letter to the powers that be showing your anguish that your SCOTUS has just taken America out of the 'everyone is equal before the law' arena.

I haven't seen your anti-stacked SCOTUS post yet. Surely you must be voicing your
displeasure at the latest debacle. Or are you too busy playing the blame game here.

You come over as nothing but a navel gazing 'where is my utopia on earth' whiner.

That's a nod to your mention of Thoreau earlier.

I can accept that Biden is 'having trouble' and also credibly argue that Trump is a convicted felon prone to way too many really stupid f'ing riffs that call his own cognition into question. Watch and TRY and learn.

Also he IS on the wrong side of the issues that concern women voters, their spouses and boyfriends, and he will only become more so as he tries and fails to placate the so called 'right to life' Trumpanzee Taliban.

Cant wait for the Project 25 Plan, AKA the Fascist F'ng GOP Taliban Plan, to get more air time too.

Go ahead, run on it and be prepared to defend the indefensible.

Why should we be worried about Project 2025?

As The New Republic notes, Project 2025 is “a remarkably detailed guide to turning the United States into a fascist’s paradise.” The primary document of Project 2025, the magazine explains, lays out what is essentially a “Christian nationalist vision of the United States, one in which married heterosexuality is the only valid form of sexual expression and identity; all pregnancies would be carried to term, even if that requires coercion or death; and transgender and gender-nonconforming people do not exist.”

It’s a terrifying vision of what American life could look like, but what’s most concerning about Project 2025 is its playbook for the first 180 days of a hypothetical second Trump term. “The time is short, and conservatives need a plan,” the playbook states. “The project will create a playbook of actions to be taken in the first 180 days of the new Administration to bring quick relief to Americans suffering from the Left’s devastating policies.”

Among the numerous troubling suggestions laid out in the playbook is a detailed plan to essentially purge the federal workforce of tens of thousands of workers in favor of hiring ones who will adhere to the conservative principles of Project 2025. Paul Dans, a former Trump administration official who’s director of Project 2025’s Presidential Transition Project, told the Associated Press the 180 day transition plan is a “clarion call to come to Washington… People need to lay down their tools, and step aside from their professional life and say, ‘This is my lifetime moment to serve.’”

Much of the 180-Day Playbook reads like a cult’s recruiting pamphlet, explaining how department and agency heads should be vetting potential candidates. “This book is functionally an invitation for you the reader—Mr. Smith, Mrs. Smith, and Ms. Smith—to come to Washington or support those who can,” Dans writes in the intro to the Playbook. “Our goal is to assemble an army of aligned, vetted, trained, and prepared conservatives to go to work on Day One to deconstruct the Administrative State.”
