Project 2025 Architect Signals Bloodshed If Left Opposes Trump-Led 'Revolution' ( www.commondreams.org )

The president of the right-wing group spearheading Project 2025 raised the specter of violence Tuesday against those who refuse to capitulate to what he characterized as "the second American Revolution" ushered in by presumptive GOP nominee and would-be authoritarian Donald Trump....

Not only are they in the process of openly subverting the Constitution of the United States, they are openly calling for violence. When declared powerful adversaries call for violence publicly, every option is on the table. Collective self defense may be necessary, and they may yet regret it.

In a better world, what she did would be a crime. Shit, it might be one in this world. Just not one that will be prosecuted.

But yea, legitimate democracy is kind of a pipe dream outside of ancient Greece. I'd say people in the United States live under a crony-capitalist dominated representative republic.

I actually work with some folks from St. Vincent. Saw some video of the crash and the rescue attempt. Was told there was engine trouble right after take off, and there was some catastrophic failure after the pilot turned back to land. The plane seemed to go down into the water very suddenly, and hard. Apparently this guy had been flying folks around the islands for a long time. Really fuckin tragic, honestly.
