Hey there, Secular Fam. I trust you all survived the Thanksgiving holiday (“survived” being a relative term here).
Every day since the election, some new, outrageous appointment is announced, or the people who totally knew nothing about Project 2025 before the election announce a new policy idea that totally comes right out of the 922 pages of Project 2025.
Some people seem to be reveling in the knowledge that MAGAts will learn the definition of the word “tariff” or that they voted to get rid of their social security benefits.
I’m not.
The same shitty policies that will make it more expensive for them to drink their morning coffee or purchase, like, pretty much, anything will also affect me and the people I care about. So I won’t be doing any happy dances when the least informed among us get educated real quick.
