It's not remotely shocking. Why is it taking people so long to wake the hell up? Project 2025 told us in plain English they'd go after immigration and crack down on left-wing activism and protests.

And even if you never heard of P25 it's pretty easy to see what's been going on the past couple of months. This is what authoritarians do.

It's endlessly frustrating to watch people slowly catch up to where they should have been by October 2024.

Because half this country thinks having a political opinion is childish.

Because they're so uneducated they don't understand the scope of politics and it's direct affect to their everyday life.

Americans are stupid, disenchanted, and apathetic because of the former.

"I don't vote. Politics doesn't effect me" is what a coworker told me.
