Yeah legislation…Congress doesn’t need legislation to nullify a judicial decision, and an executive veto can be overridden. Justices can be impeached and removed, and so can the executive.
You wanna go further? If 35 states decide to have constitutional convention they can rewrite the whole god damn thing and do whatever the hell they want. So when it comes down to it, the states have *all* the power

KaiserKavikMar 26, 2026

1. The Judicial can nullify legislation, ending the law.
2. If Congress overrides a Veto, the executive can selectively enforce due to its powers concerning enforcement discretion, and in limited cases can refuse to spend the money to enforce particular laws.
3. Removing a particular office holder doesn’t change the co-equal status and powers given to the branch in question. So thats a moot point.

We have demonstrators all over the US every single weekend, they're all ignored except for the biggest ones and those take time to plan and setup, it's not like Americans can drive an hour or three to a major city, it can take days to get to one for people, for example the state of Texas is 2.8 to 3 times the size of the *entire* UK.

Americans don't even need to get out on the streets and demonstrate, they need a general strike or a nationwide teacher's strike. But nobody has the guts to do it and the excuse is always "aaa, we're paycheck to paycheck". You only need like 4-5% of the country to commit to a general strike and the chain reaction results in massive shutdowns.
Instead Americans just pretend that going out on the street to protest once in a blue moon in big numbers will do anything at all, as if this administration cares one lick. The 2026 midterms will probably go badly for the Republicans, assuming they happen at all, maybe a Democrat will win the presidency in 2028, and in a couple years Americans will stop caring again and the next, smarter fascist will slide into power, with the knowledge of how easy it was for an idiot like Trump and being able to weaponize the fact that Democrats won't be able to fix the massive amount of problems they're gonna be saddled with in just 2-4 years.

General strikes are extremely rare and sort of the final straw for people, one happened in Minneapolis recently but a general strike on a national level? 1942 I do believe, in the UK it was 1926, Australia? 1969, etc.
I'm not saying we're not quickly running toward absolutely needing one in this country, not at all but what I'm saying is you can't just simply say "No one has the guts" or like National general strike are something Americans arent doing out of laziness, practically no country has them on a national level.

I don't disagree, I have done the drive and stayed in a hotel. I'm just saying the cost of a night stay + the cost to drive (from where I am) totals about $400, not counting the (non paid) time off people would take. I'm on the higher end because I'm 9 hours away but most Americans simply cannot, even if they wanted to, drop $400 at the drop of a hat to go march in the capital, not without cutting groceries or another bill.
Again not disagreeing that they shouldn't, Americans in general are way to afraid of pain even for something as important as this, I'm just saying the average American doesn't view it that way
(and PS: I'm the minority not the majority, the majority are either so propagandized that they don't care or think that its too hopeless to do anything about it, thats why the 6mil in DC haven't done much)

While this is 100% true, it doesnt tell the whole story.
Some of ths institutional damage that has happened directly due to these EOs cannot simply be "undone" - such as the dismantling of the department of education.
Retiring workers and reestablishing the departments core functions would like take an entire presidential term just as of now. If it gets worse (which is clearly still the goal), it may not be doable in 4 years. Maybe with all 3 chambers going blue, it would speed up but I dont think thats how we should be planning it as of this moment.

Absolutely correct. I’ve said before that the Democratic Party needs to have as its national campaign for 2029, it needs a “Project 2029”, but needs to call it something more galvanizing. They need to promise a Manhattan Project of government overhaul and renewal. A promise to permanently rid the federal government of the stench of MAGA fascism and corruption.

Seriously, it’s an incredible undertaking and would take multiple terms to fix.

Agreed but given the last few decades of Democrat administrations and their unwillingness to rock the boat (status quo being king seems to be their motto, works well enough for the ruling class) my faith in much beyond another Obama style pat on the back with little else when it comes to any potential victory is extremely low. And thr post January 6th showing? The current establishment is not at all up to the task of protecting America from internal threats let alone rebuild it.
Doesn't mean we shouldn't fight like hell against these fascist traitors of course. More that we can't expect to be "saved" by the very people who willingly helped pave the path to the current road were, to much personal benefit of course. So while it's important to participate in the system, demand better from it, and sure as hell be critical of it but it's just as if not more important to support each other and built up community.

We must maintain the pressure to actually roll these things back and vote for candidates that are actually committed to doing the work.
If left unchallenged, moderate business-as-usual style Democrats will waste their term in power "incrementally" rolling back like ~5% of the changes and explaining why doing more is impossible, further eroding faith in democracy, further fueling fascist sentiment, and opening the window for an even worse project 2032. We cannot let that happen.

GOPs only hope of surviving the midterms is to eliminate mail in voting and have ICE agents armed to the teeth covering every democrat leaning district in america. Who will profile and antagonize any visible minority they can get their hands on.

1. Create a plan and put it where everyone can find it.
2. Pick someone to campaign every second of every day
3. Win
Only one party has done that since 2015. In fact, if the only thing you knew about Democrats and Republicans is their history of campaigning, you'd wonder how the former ever got elected in this country.
It's March 2026 and Democrats still don't have any of the above.

But they sure enjoy taking credit for any election victories, acting completely ignorant to the fact they aren't winning so much as the GOP is losing. One of the biggest problems with the Blue MAGA slogan of "vote blue no matter who" is it tells the establishment they don't even need to work harder or offer much beyond "we aren't Trump".

Honestly I always interpreted it as their attempt at stirring the sort of loyalty that the right has. We wont get *anywhere* so long as we let the perfect be the enemy of good-enough; which is kind of self-evident at this point with how far back we've been set.
Dems *will never* be able to compete with the right on voter loyalty, though. It is just not in the makeup of their voters to behave that way, and although I agree with the broad, practical sentiment that we *need* to toe the line to have a chance - it is bound to fail. In no small part because of the compulsive resistance such messaging imparts upon far too many voters to make it effective.
So much like how the Dems constantly hamstring themselves by following process and rules; the same handicap follows them into how they campaign. They have no choice but to win by being *better*, but when your opponent has the easy-mode turned on... welp... sometimes better just aint good-enough.

2015-16 up until the end of the primaries, even Republicans were considering Trump to be a joke. That GOP primary fiasco, with like, 30 bajillion candidates well into the campaign (I still think about that one "debate" with like, [10 podiums](https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2F2rU4W3yfd58%2Fmaxresdefault.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=521a50c968204fc383cf2286281737cd12784ab4ca2a922277f5e3be0adf72f9)).

DNC has always had a plan, even with the RNC didn't (in 2020 their platform was simply "whatever Trump wants")
[https://democrats.org/where-we-stand/party-platform/](https://democrats.org/where-we-stand/party-platform/)
The difference is that Republicans consist of everyone who is in lock-step with a Christian Nationalist agenda, and the democrats are basically everyone who isn't. It's pretty easy to have a singular plan and vision when you simply discard anyone that doesn't share that vision from your party.

As much as I might hate conservatives after this clusterfuck of evil and failure, I can't dispute the massive success that Republicans have had in their attacks against America. We folded like little bitches while the crimes got bigger and bigger, and the victims got taken by the thousands, until the evil spilled out across the world.
They have successfully killed America's international standing and soft power, poisoned our economy, destabilized our society, corrupted the justice system beyond repair, and are tearing down the legitimacy of the US government with each crime and Constitutional violation. No external enemy of the United States could ever dream of causing the harm that conservatives have wrought, and continue to support, against America.

Peter Thiel is the real shadow president, Stephen Miller the shadow vice president.
I think calling it a “massive success” is completely not the right phrasing. That makes it sound like it’s actually had positive effects for the country, which remains to be seen, and which most of us doubt.
It should say that the plan to enact P 2025 has been a success.

Elections are not in flux, f****** stop giving this a****** victories he has not earned just because he won't shut the f*** up about it. He thinks by screaming and crying and stamping his feet and saying he wants it, he will get it. He won't. Neither the SAVE Act nor unrestricted DHS funding has any prospective of passing, and he was reduced to threatening a pocket veto power that he does not in fact have. He is literally negotiating with his own a****** while the Dems on the Hill wait for someone in Congressional Republican leadership to find a microscope strong enough to discover the location of their balls.
ICE in airports is emblematic of this defeat, as is their ignomious retreat from Minneapolis with their leadership discredited and stripped of their positions. This regime loses power, prestige, and political capital every second of every day. Jan of 25 was as powerful as they will ever be. All that's left now is a long, draining, rear guard action of policy failure, economic collapse, and endless losses in civil and criminal court until Death itself finally takes pity on us all.

It's not so much about the P2025 document, rather the people put in charge of our country are people who genuinely want a Christo-fascists nation in appearance, but really a kleptocracy, in which those at the top are neither Christian or Fascists, but rather, wealthy, corrupt authoritarians who stay in power indefinitely. The P2025 shit is just a means to an end. It might matter to the evangelical idiots that worship Donald Trump, but those at the top just want to be able to cling to power, maintain tight control, and engage in various corrupt schemes to enrich themselves. It's pretty typical authoritarian shit in general.
If P2025 didn't exist, we'd still be exactly where we are because of the people running things.

I think this is still an extremely important conversation to continue having, but at the same time I think there is equal momentum against it and we need to stay focused on the mid terms as they currently exist.
Republican lawmakers seem terrified that their actions will have consequences in November as of right now, and we shouldn't take that for granted, despite legitimate fears behind what P25 is trying to achieve.
I feel like the will of the people currently has the momentum due to the rapidly failing economy, war in Iran, and desire to (at minimum, for republican voters) slow this all down if not demand outright accountability for the lies and deceit that have come from trump administration and congress' inaction to do anything about it.
So yes, P25 is still a completely valid concern. But I believe that, in this exact moment, our focus should be on general engagement and awareness of quantifiable events that are currently effecting Americans and not conspiracy-sounding ideas (despite them being very real, its hard to hear and believe for the uninformed) - if they didnt "believe in" P25 before, that likely won't be how we flip any voters now either.
We need to use the current momentum swing to ensure as many people are ready to vote as possible now, so that if anything happens to retract or remove that ability to vote or demand change then as many people as possible are really effected by it, and it pisses them the f*** off even more than a lot of us already are.
Use this momentum to drag people out of the darkness while we have momentum, without stoking fear and panic (yet). We can do this.

It's wild to portray Project 2025 as some sort of conspiracy theory when it's an overt and published policy framework and they've been publishing a similar framework for every administration for decades.

To people who are uneducated politically, it *sounds* like a conspiracy. Because its too wild to be accepted at face value.
I know its a legitimate goal of the right, and so do you. But clearly it was already dismissed by nearly two-thirds of the country as a conspiracy they couldn't be bothered to put any time into, so why would we use the same strategy for round 2?
To be clear, its **not** a conspiracy and **is** happening.

BittererrMar 26, 2026

By refusing to talk about it like it's a normal thing you're playing into the narrative that it's wacky and unbelievable. It's just the plan, they've been carrying it out and a bunch of the people who signed their names at the bottom of the various sections of the plan are now responsible for those parts of government.
Giving it an air of reverence and mystery only encourages people who think it's mysterious or abnormal.

>It's just the plan, they've been carrying it out
This is true, and idk why "talk about what they've done and how it led to where we are" is considered such a mind blowing strategy to you. We dont need to also do it in a way thats simply going to be viewed as fearmongering by those who are not engaged more than 1-2 times every 4 years. Thats just the reality of it whether you or I or anyone likes it or not.
Messaging and optics are real factors in getting people engaged. Being truthful is important, but overwhelming with fear and information is an immediate and permanent turn off to a large number of people who still (somehow) believe that "it won't actually get that bad, this is America."
Nothing that youre saying is being planned is false. However, Im not aure why youre suggesting we use the 2024 strategy all over again, especially after it barely even worked in 2020 despite literal worldwide panic over covid.
Or maybe were just having two different discussions, and im not realizing it. Because it seems like youre implying I dont think certain things about P25 are true - and thats not the case. I just dont think opening with "Have you SEEN what they plan to do?! You should be terrified like I am!" is going to magically turn into a winning strategy after we saw it fail 2 years ago.
