FAQ

Q: why not organize and stop treating the bus as a legitimate entity? why aren’t you working to stop the bus?

A: do both. cut the fuel line. break windows. put oatmeal in the gas tank. but maybe your efforts don’t succeed this election cycle. and if so don’t fucking throw away your vote if it can help your neighbors fucking survive. “harm reduction” is not a political strategy for action. it is a last minute, end of the line decision to save lives, after all other resources have been exhausted.

Yeah, I don’t think anyone knew the extent of the administrative state and to what extent it would stymie the efforts of an executive it opposed.

I kinda think if we hadn’t had Covid there wouldn’t be a project 2025. Trump would have just left office and assumed the country was too sclerotic to make any kind of changes, but instead there at the end he got to see what it was really capable of. For all the “it hurt itself in its confusion” moments, operation warpspeed (a trump joint!) showed what the state was capable of.

Now everyone with half a brain is thinking how they could take advantage of that. It’s surprising democrats don’t have their own plan to create a unitary executive…
