I look forward to a beer with Bob! That to me seems like the best remedy. Chuck on a barbie, get some of the locals around for a good time and have a heated argument about how our footy team got robbed by the refs last week. Note: Don't do this in the EU - that will cause a riot! :)

Re: Project 2025 - no argument that it is basically a frightening blueprint for a Christian Nationalist makeover of US government that would do permanent damage.
Trump has recently distanced himself from it, saying he doesn't know the people who created it (which of course is a lie) and he disagrees with parts of it (not sure what parts). I'm not entirely sure what to make of that. One of the articles I found on this suggested a reason that does make sense to me - it's not "his". For better or worse (usually worse) his ego has a huge impact on how he does things, and having something a different group set up doesn't really fit well in his mentality. It might actually be better for the country that a carefully crafted plan is not what he'll do, as his impulsive style hasn't led to many results most of the time.

Sadly, if Trump gets into office once again (whether he wins the vote or not), this great experiment (Democracy) will come to an end.
He almost got away with taking over and becoming a dictator for life last time, and the judges he helped to power (Supreme court and Federal) have worked diligently for the last 3 1/2 years to circumvent the things that kept it from happening back then. If he takes office, he will die in office, and will have rigged the system so that his chosen will take over, and no amount of "voting" will remove the Republican rule in my lifetime.
Civil war will be the only way of changing the power structure, and that's likely to result in the US becoming multiple countries.
I really hope this does not come to pass, but the fact that it's even possible signals to me that "Democracy" is not going to last long in the US, no matter who the next President is.

I want to see him run against Adam Schiff.
