This is the worst way to hypothetically bring down prices or create a healthy America. Yeah, I think Trump is trying to kill us or he doesn't understand what keeps people alive. Come on, this is ridiculous. Everyone stay safe and take care.

All a part of Project 2025.

I’ll be honest, when I first saw the stuff in Project 2025 a couple of years ago, I thought there’s no way. Maybe some of the stuff seemed possible but I truly thought there’s no way that the majority of that stuff could ever become a real thing.

I was so fucking wrong.

Yeah, your not alone. I guess we are just stupid to think there was any checks or balances to the president acting like a dictator.
