MODERATORS
I always thought this was a given. Like- who in their right mind would think otherwise?
Also… Note the absence of the usual suspects here? Wonder why they never have anything to say on posts like this.
By usual suspects do you mean the “both sides same!” crowd?
Yep. Them and the “anti-anyone the democrats have to offer.” crowd.
A charitable reading says that you should still research and verify the things that are "a given". I mean, YOU know it, I know it, we all know it here... But at least now we have an official report to point to when people try to downplay it?
Ah, who am I kidding? They wouldn't care anyway
I just recently spoke with someone who had 1. Not heard of project 2025 and 2. Tried to convince me that "Donald Trump is the first president to support gay marriage"
The thing you need to remember is, think of how dumb the average U.S. citizen is. Now realize half of them -- over 170 million people -- are even dumber than that.
See the problem?
