Has anyone here ever had lung surgery,

"lobectomy" to be precise, for a small, malignant nodule on their lung?...I'm a week into recovering from the procedure and would be interested in 'comparing notes', as it were.

Riiiiight..

Self- hatred....THAT will work.

Sorry, but I don't think the citizens of any country are innately more inclined to racism, stupidity, or selfishness than others. .As I'd guess most here know, an attempt to broadbrush the people of another country this way would be hidden for bigotry...Just sayin'.

We are talking about Project 2025 and the legislation

it will require. No one's yet "opposed" it, because it's yet to be proposed due to Biden still occupying the Oval Office.
You say there will be "a lot of incentives for Republican opponents to flip loyalist", but you don't seem to see that there are lots of opportunities to please one's constituents over Trump when your term extends beyond his..
I don't understand your dismissal of the effects of Trump's term limits since he's clearly subject to them via the Constitution...As for our supposedly "seeing the start of a generational dynasty", I'd have to correct you there..We're not "seeing" anything starting, we're simply hearing about a MAGA fever dream with a zero chance of success. You need to remember that Trump won by only the slightest of margins -- 1.5 percentage points...Such tiny numbers do NOT a "mandate" make...Another thing worth remembering is that Trump doesn't always win..His endorsed candidates frequently fail, and even the Supreme Court, not to mention the lower courts, have ruled against him and will continue do so when they see fit.

I'm afraid I can't applaud your pessimism, though I'm sure It's sweet smell of surrender is something the aforementioned oligarchs would enjoy.

Hey DC..I may have to move to your environs soon

so as to be near close family. That said, I'd like to hear your opinions on how another Trump term might affect DC itself as a place to live...Do you see any possible changes/problems coming up?

Thanks in advance for any possible insights or information you might have.

Yeah sure, because the possibility of a conspiracy

just doesn't exist, right?

Internalized misogyny

I don't care how much one may differ with another's opinion, a Woman addressing another Woman as "Bitch" is about 'funny' as a Black man addressing another Black man as the N- word.
