It's always a threat to our democracy. But then the guy who does all this in the name of democracy is also a threat to our democracy? And the playbook he's using to destroy our democracy (project 2025) was literally written by a guy who never actually wanted a democracy even though it really, really, seems likely he helped overthrow the government and collapse the Soviet Union in the name of democracy but just created an oligarchy.

Then he decided he wanted to overthrow our democracy in 1999 bc he realized it would never be what he wanted, and he was angry Bill Clinton didn't actually get impeached after he got a BJ?

Then he died in 2008, but now we just have this guy in 2025 who is the result of the 1999 plans coming to fruition. He's unimpeachable and he's going to be allowed to just destroy the U.S. to like make a point? I guess?

Obviously it's going to be making a lot of rich people richer (that's always the point) but I can't even keep up with what narrative is being presented anymore to keep us believing. Maybe that's the point? Idk this is doo doo. I feel like if you're in the CIA you must either need to dissociate 24/7, or take a lot of drugs, or be in a constant existential crisis. Or maybe some combo platter. It just seems like the narrative gets more and more convoluted with time and makes less sense.

Obviously it's still being used as an excuse to invade other countries, but did they ever care about democracy actually existing even in the U.S.? Or was it always just an excuse the U.S./CIA used while they got wealthy and helped other wealthy people stay wealthy?

Sorry, should have been clearer in my comment. Multiple news sources, across party lines, often end up running from the exact same playbook.

Down to dozens of local newscasters across Fox, NBC, and CBS literally reading the same script verbatim in the video I linked. It's a minute and a half mashup of all the different on air readings of the exact same script across dozens of local news channels of different organizations and political affiliations.

That line about danger to our democracy was a direct quote from the shared script.
