that’s clearly because this is his last term

Who says that kind of thing, especially when it's his last term?

Where in project 2025 does it say no more presidential elections 

The creation of that Project 2025 document is so unfortunate, because it activated the once-dormant conspiracy mind of the left. It was probably a carefully calculated move for the media to even cover it, knowing full well what it would do to the people.

I think the framework of spiral dynamics has limits in assessing things. Maybe it’s not a linear ladder or consciousness staircase to heaven. It’s not stages in a hierarchy but more so that each value is valuable in unison with the others - equally. This way we don’t spiral dynamic apartheid ourselves from the “less developed”.

It’s not like these values in a “higher stage” weren’t available to humanity before us or aren’t even being lived out by people right now across the political aisle or border. Indigenous people were living out green values in harmony with the earth before we had pronouns or became vegan.

We need the warrior of stage red to protect us, the order of blue to stabilise us, the innovation of orange to excel us, the humanity of green to be fair, and the systems of yellow to tie all them together.

The conservative old church lady probably bakes cookies for her neighbours in rural America whilst a liberal Karen who has “Kindness is everything” as her bio shouts at the barista for getting her coffee order wrong. Maybe we need to cool it with the self congratulatory back patting for having reached stage green as if it’s some revelation only urbanite liberals are privy to for having read Ken Wilber.

I need learn and to ponder on this some more..

Bernie Sanders full statement:

it’s a good biting analysis. He doesn’t just say racism and vibes.

RFK is a buffoon.

Please elaborate. I'm not very familiar with US politics, but wasn't he an environmental lawyer or something?

Don't bullshit us.

@Raze We would have to see what happens as the traditional checks and balances are eroded away. Espcially if trump starts shutting down mainstream news he doesn't like which I've seen interviews of him talking about.

Many believe he never lost in 2020. So, if you think he won't try to stay in power you'd be wrong I think is safe to say.

This election showed me how naive you all are, yes most of you are in top 10% ,

yet somehow none of you see how an unconscious collaboration this was from both sides of left wing and right wing.

 

They are all unconsciously working together, switching sides, switching slogans, switching  ideas and policies

forget about all this left vs right, republican vs democrat, capitalist vs socialist,

NONE of them is better concept than the opposite of it.

 

 

They are there so people in the top can milk you, the people in the top do not care about these concepts as much as you do, all they care about is to win, and they trust the system, they know 2 years from now they can be completely new person and still adjust their believes and words accordingly.

No, he has talked about this many times!

Ever since 2000, he has only predicted the winner of the Electoral College because of the demographic changes that began in 2000

 

That’s just the excuse he made afterwards to justify it.

 But there is no excusing 2024, the keys are nonsense, they always were.

Of course they were nonsense. "Science" for suckers.

The problem is human bottleneck of learning too slowly and not being able to process at higher levels of consciousness. Our minds are ill suited for this age.

Giuliani was a good public prosecutor, and look what he turned into over the years. A cartoon villain.

People can lose their minds over time.

The only hope is a anti establishment dem winning the democratic primary and completely kicking out all the establishment figures in their positions 

Then focusing their base to ignore and blacklist the pundit class

Basically anyone who supported Hillary in the 2016 primary and said Biden should stay in the race should be gone from any position of influence with democrats, at the very least. Not just the campaign teams, but party officials and media pundits. Ideally politicians as well.

This should have happened after 2016 or after Biden dropped. This election was a absolute repudiation of establishment dems, they will never change, their only goal is to push unpopular proposals, use identity politics to divide and distract the dem base, and they are so hated they just lose over and over. 
 

If they manage to stay put and continue to be the filter dem candidates have to pass through a republican is going to Reagan level landslide eventually,

Is Trump actually going to Federally ban abortion? He himself said that if such a bill arrived on his desk, he would veto it.

He has never admitted to losing either. Because he never admits to losing ever.

I'm not questioning the validity of the Project 2025 documents themselves. My point is in the conspiratorial tendency that can activate in a psyche. It's like a paranoia that's an inherent potential in human psychology. I believe that to begin thinking this way is damaging to the left, even if it's simultaneously informing them.

Yet, he put people in power to make it illegal? He is a liar. What do liars do?

It is real.

If Trump is distancing himself from it, that doesn't mean it's not real.

[Thought Art]

@What Am I It's a literal document that exists and can be read. The people who wrote it are part of Trumps whole community, etc.
