    1. Will never happen under Republican rule. As someone from the Midwest, I hear casual conservations about it even in the suburbs (which I find weird).

    2. Will never happen since the FBI tends to follow the lead of the US president. No president is going to shoot themselves in the foot.

    3. Good luck getting rid of words. The most that will come out of this one is a dictionary trailered to snowflakes.

      There are plenty of countries with similar approaches towards law and censorship. I would reference those to see what’s possible before I would base my opinions solely on America’s prior history.

      Your user flair checks out. Gotta love being able to tag usernames in the Boost app. Makes tracking bad faith actors so much easier.

          I don’t tag people often and when I do they must’ve said something pretty egregious. You had to have been repeatedly spouting some pretty hardcore CCP propaganda for me to place that tag on your username. But, okay, just assume it’s because I disagree with you.

            i wish. i consistently ‘spout’ the worldview of someone who has been fucked over by your country multiple times. the us literally sponsored the project 2025 stuff in here, hence why i find this very ironic.

            i’m in one of these, see if you can guess

    Tbf I don’t trust the FBI any more than I trust the CIA or the NSA or the ATF, I’m on board with looking at those agencies and their activities.

    That’s about it though, and I don’t really trust the republicans to do it either, so…

      Yes, but “unlawful or contrary to the public interest” is the language the 2025 drafters have used in the past to argue that people involved in a literal violent insurrection should not be prosecuted. In this case we’re not talking about forming a more equitable justice system, we’re talking about celebrating the attempted overthrow of the government.

            They’re obsessed with sex, but imaginary sky daddy said it’s bad, so they resist it as best they can while lashing out at anybody who visibly enjoys it as proof that they themselves are superior for resisting, and not the festering pile of shit that their own subconscious mind accuses them of being.

            (Why else does every vocally anti-gay conservative man get caught with rentboys?)

            …only under the push over the last 15 years or so to treat sex as wholly irrelevant, ot the point I was accused of transphobia for describing the TERF viewpoint as being about sex, not gender - essentially TERFs aren’t concerned with whether you identify as a man or woman gender-wise but whether your sex is female (and thus you are good and safe) or male (and thus you are an evil, dangerous monster who preys on females, regardless of your gender identity).

            Once upon a time (hitting a tipping point around 2010 or so), whether it was hetero- or homo- sex was definitely seen as being about the sex organs of the people involved and not how they identified.

              Not really. In queer spaces it was always mixed depending on the time place and situation, with a general default to “if there’s a reason for it to be considered homosexual the law will probably say it is so we will too.” But also you have folks like Christine Jorgensen who was hailed as cured from homosexuality by transitioning. With trans people you generally had the idea that your sexuality was the orientation of the group you ran with, so stealth straight trans people were seen as straight by those who dealt with them, but the straight trans people in drag scenes were generally seen as gay. You even wind up with weird shit like how for a time in the 80s and 90s in lesbian discourse trans lesbian meant ftm but transsexual lesbian meant mtf. Also homosexuality and heterosexuality as a concept didn’t enter our culture until the Victorian era before which at various times places and people it was was seen as anything from inherently an intersex condition to a sin made of free will

      There’s a nonzero chance that a future Republican President will do a NAFTA-to-USMCA style “abolition” of the FBI, where the name plate on the building gets changed and James Comey gets fired again but everything else stays functionally the same.

        It will always trip me out how Mitt Romney went from being the GOP nominee for president in 2012 to a reviled RINO in less than a decade by not moving. He’s the same guy with the same positions and the party shot far to the right.

    It looks like some personal revenge, I don’t know why anyone would hate someone so much out of nothing.

    It’s not even populism I think that would be at least lots of empty words
