you should be so scared of project 2025 that you question why the republican's only mainstream opponents don't treat them like the terrorists they are, and instead constantly call for bipartisanship and adopt their policies as their own to compete for the title of 'Most Racist'.
The Democrats we're supposed to believe will stop Republicans: "I will say this—you'll be shocked, probably—I think the country needs a strong Republican Party"
lathe time: even if Genocide Joe wins the election, the democrats will invite Trump to assume the presidency (or some other office of power like the Parliamentarian) using some kind of domestic unrest or geopolitical event as pretext
first as tragedy and all that
It's be a good Onion bit maybe, but I think the Democrats will keep milking Trump as the devil incarnate until the end of time. They don't need him to implement the fascism. They're more than capable of doing it on their own. In fact, they get far less opposition that way.
oh my god they could vote him in as house speaker
They already brought Trump in to work on the border bill.

I see so much handwringing about stuff like project 2025 but less than zero pushback. Either they don't actually believe it's dangerous or they're lazy.
Even OP says trump must be stopped at all costs, but the party that is supposed to be doing that, are shutting down any effective protest and siding with the fascists at every turn. What do these people even mean by "any means necessary"?
It reminds me of George Bush's "project for a new American century". No pushback, and our lives became worse because of it.
The same as they mean when they say that occupied people are allowed to resist their oppressor by any means possible – quietly and ineffectually, by any means that will not rock the boat but which will signal their virtue.
They need to stop Trump by any means necessary.
Except stopping giving bombs to Isreal, or doing anything about workers protections, or doing anything about the environment, or giving people stimulus money, or vocally supporting abortion rights, universal Healthcare, insider trading ban, election finance reform, breaking up monopolies, opposing the police state....
Basically they're willing to have YOU do whatever is necessary to stop Trump.
Protesting isn't allowed.
Haranguing them in public isn't allowed.
General strikes, hell, normal strikes aren't allowed.
Protest voting in midterms isn't allowed.
The only thing you can do is
for who they tell you to
