I'm starting to really consider the whole "reality is a simulation" angle, and whoever is running the game has put in a cheat code. (not really really, but more than I ever have before)

It's like a shitty unrealistic movie plot has unfolded over the past decade. And every time it looks like maybe things are heading back on track, BOOM, we get another event that just turns us right back on the track to crazytown.

I'm having a hard time coming up with anything I can cling to in the hopes that Project 2025 isn't going to go exactly as planned down to the last detail.

How are we not going to become real-world Gilead (but with more racism)?

I doubt this to the point I would bet money against it if I could.

Did you not see that a proposal to amend the constitution for 3 terms was ACTUALLY proposed by a Congressperson from TN?

The republicans do not have enough of a majority in either house to get that through.

I sincerely doubt they are going to convince a third of the Dems to support it either

Remember that you'd have to get at least 38 state legislatures to ratify it as well. Getting any amendments passed in the modern day is a whole circus in and of itself, and I highly doubt there's enough political capital to get such an obviously targeted amendment (since the candidate in question would've had to have two nonconsecutive terms - meaning this applies to Grocer Cleveland and Donald Trump) passed.
