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