Let's Get Back At It, Folks - Project 25!!!
Oh, and a special shout out to Dopey-Assed Elon Musk: Just because you have more money than God doesn't mean you aren't an ignorant a-hole!
I hope we all managed to put that “sympathy” stuff behind us. No American should be victimized by violence — including the dozens who guns have killed since that bullet pierced Diaper Don’s ear — so let’s end our shock over Trump’s close call and move on to the stuff that matters, like Project 25 — like the violent and hateful rhetoric the right is churning out like organ grinders at a circus. Let’s all say a prayer and wish debilitating jock itch for Elon Musk.
The violence perpetrated Saturday against Trump was violence that he has been cultivating for nine years, only he never expected that one of his own would act out against him. Everything Trump stands for was on view Saturday. Despite all the weird coincidences and the t-shirts sold after the incident, I genuinely don’t believe this was a pre-planned event — even though I did write an article suggesting just that. The purpose of that article was to fight lunacy with lunacy. Congressional Republicans, within minutes, were tweeting out (I am done with X so that I will refer to however I like) that Biden was responsible.
President Biden last night gave another outstanding and highly presidential speech. He demonstrated yet again that he is a sane, elderly statesman and a good president (great in my book). Diaper Don could have never made such a speech. We saw how it pained him on January 6th and countless examples of when he needed to tune the volume down on the rhetoric but instead blasted it. Biden sought to bring the nation together, and Trump always does his absolute best to tear the country apart. Oddly, this assassination attempt could actually work to Biden’s and Democrat’s advantage by showing we are the adults in the room.
The Republicans are heading to Milwaukee to outdo themselves in their love for all things Trump. Can the greatest example of a real-life American personality cult scare the bejesus out enough independents to push them to vote blue in November? Will the war over the American woman’s vagina in the Republican Party scare women across the nation and send them packing for blue? Will Trump’s hateful rhetoric this week, which promises to be 180 degrees opposite of Biden’s eloquent speech yesterday, end any delusions that he is somehow better for America?
The Republicans will bend over backward this coming week to avoid discussing Project 25, but let me remind you what that blueprint is: It was a Saturday afternoon in Bethel, Pennsylvania. If anyone tells you that Project 25 won’t lead to political violence, then they are naive and historically misinformed. What we saw on Saturday was chapter one of Project 25. Please keep that in mind. The only difference in the reality of a Trump victory in November will be that it won’t be Trump getting shot but Democrats and anti-Trump protestors.
Maybe you are wondering why I am not reducing the volume on the “rhetoric?” I will tell you why: This is not rhetoric. It’s our future if Trump wins. I am part Irish, and that part of me got me into a lot of hellish situations in my life — and beautiful ones. There was a time in our nation’s past when the Donald Trump and MAGidiots of that era hung signs like the one above. We knew it was wrong and collectively said, f*** you all! We applied anyway and eventually made good in America. No one is going to tell me to “chill out and tune down the volume” when it comes to fighting fascists. Trump and MAGA are fascists. We must end their lost cause. Of course, I want the moment to pass peacefully, but as the head of the Heritage Foundation, Kevin Roberts, said, “It’s up to them.”
Project 25. Keep saying it over and over.
And fight the urge to think that the attempt on Trump’s life Saturday wasn’t staged by the right-wing coup slowly unfolding in our nation. It almost seems like an episode of Homeland, doesn’t it?
No. Let’s not be distracted by this. Let’s use the energy that the distraction will consume and direct back into destroying Donald Trump and this fascist MAGA movement once and for all.
Project 25. Keep saying it over and over and over.
Vote blue in November as if your life depends on it.
