I know this one, and it's a fairly good resemblance. If MTG had the brow ridges, it would really be uncanny.

Project 2025 is getting press and tRump's trying to run away from it.

Ex-Pence advisor on Trump’s attempt to distance himself from ‘Project 2025’

The Orange Turd will lie about anything that might hurt his election chances, anything.

That would be "on average".

This morning is just out of the blue came to me. Constantly being exposed to the hate and anger from the right cult that trump now controls heart and soul. Being generous on the latter...

Just who and what do they hate so much, what is the focus of all this anger?

It dawned on me just then, it's everyone else not agreeing with them! People who are not in this tribe of theirs.

ME!

I've seen it in texts messages from friends and family. Lost who I thought were close due to differences in politics.

If it had been successful on Saturday I fear we would be in a civil war by now in isolated areas of the country.

Emphasis added. That's it.

To expand a little, they were bummed already by the fact that they got no respect from not-their-tribe elites who had lots of money and power. Then along comes propaganda highlighting the demographic threat (They're replacing us!) and otherwise jacking them up with sexual and other panic. The jacked-up (radicalized by demagoguery) part is why they are willing to turn on you and anyone who's not flashing the right one-of-us signs.
