Well?

I'll remind everyone that the perfectly innocent and relatively benign and amusingly disjointed left managed over 23 years to make CO2 a regulated pollutant and created actual government programs to ban new internal combustion engines by 2035.

And all y'all can see is a "nefarious" 2025 policy recommendation from the Heritage Foundation that has you pissing your pants.

Spare me.

Oh, I don't think anyone (well, certainly not me) suggested the "left" was benign and innocent, just a clusterf***. And as John has pointed out earlier, it doesn't take a lot of people to do something nefarious, just a couple small number who know how to do it.

Two people fixed the election?

The craziness is spreading.

Edited, for those who think couple must mean two, few means three, several means four or more, etc.

I admit that I have not personally read any part Project 2025. However, a friend on Facebook claims it contains the following:


"The only valid family is a working father married to a stay-at-home-mother and their children."
Project 2025 p. 451

That can rightly be someone's personal view but it has no justification as government policy.

To edit further, there is a difference between (A) making a claim and (B) pointing something out.

The phrase "pointing something out" has its basis in the objective. To point something out is to draw attention to something observable, factual, obvious. E.g. "I would like to point out that your socks don't match." "John pointed out that the car had a flat tire." There needs to be something objective/clear to point to (and point at)

Making a claim is another matter entirely. A claim requires no basis in the objective. A claim can be fuzzy, imaginary, vague, wild, unsubstantiated. E.g. "Bill claims that Big Foot must exist." "Though he has never seen one, Tom claims there are ghosts." "Donald claims there were over ten million people at his inauguration, if you count the invisible ones."

John pointed out nothing. He made a claim that an undetermined number of people acting in an undetermined manner did something undetermined to subvert the results of the 2020 election.
