From a German perspective, I don't understand why you always talk about this. You are giving them more attention than they deserve.
Seems like someone forgot their history.
WTF??
Let's talk about your history 8 years ago...
One big conclusion of your last Trump disaster was "Bad attention is attention, too.". That's how your orange endangerer (is this a word? I hope so... You get what I mean) won the 2016 election. Trump insults someone => News article, Trump plans to do something => New article, Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump
Just stop talking about this guy... Why do I even know about this project 2025 bullshit in Germany? Not from our media... Just because progressive people (you use the word liberals) post about it all the time.
The worst case for trump would be everyone ignoring him.
The best case for him is everyone talking about him. It does not even matter whether it's positive or negative... About the attempt to kill him, about his stupid project, about the wall, about his hookers, about the court hearings, etc. How many more Trumps does America need to understand this?
the best counter to fascism is socialism
Nah, extreme violence. That’s the best counter. Literally the only thing fascists understand.
I think the best counter would be to get money out of politics. These groups and massively wealthy individuals only have power because many politicians will do anything to get that money.
Stop letting them buy influence. Make it hard to find a loophole. And actually punish people for violating campaign finance laws.
With the way they've packed the courts, there's virtually no chance of this happening any time soon.
They'd win in a landslide if they brought forward a plan to make this happen... But they'd rather lose the election than lose their sugar daddy corporations.
The best counter to project 2025 is to fucking run a candidate who can win, ffs.
Oh, they shouldn’t run another person from the Obama admin? That would make too much sense for them. Why build up younger members when we can just tell them they aren’t wanted?
I still think it's ridiculous that both candidates had a debate before they even worked out a manifesto/program. Like, I know in the US the campaigns aren't ever about policy, but they're not even trying to have that pretense.
