They are the same. Barring the last 10 years of wannabe dictator shenanigans.

Go back to Obama and Bush. Their policy overlap was damn near a circle.

Warmongering and domestic spying. Both of them. And don't @ me about goddamn Romneycare. If you still haven't figured out that particular bit of theater you're either too young to have a political opinion or an actual moron.

Ah yes, the only two things either of them did.

Republicans 20 years ago were quite different to republicans now though.

No, they weren't.

Project 2025 is just a compilation of what conservatives have been screaming about for decades. The Supreme Court is the culmination of 40 years of work by the Federalist Society.

War and tax cuts. And they hated the gays. And videogames for some dumbass reason.

They're still all those things. But back then they were losing their ass. So they leaned hard into nationalism and cultural grievance to motivate their base. They created The Tea Party, the Tea Party morphed into MAGA. And now we're here. With a failed gameshow host ruining everything.

So you're saying they were quite different, just with methodology and mentality rather than ideals.

Obama also loved shipping people off to black sites without due process. (It's called extraordinary rendition, because that sounds better than kidnapping.)
