While I appreciate your pointing out that the US isn't going to turn into a dictatorship overnight, I think you maybe underestimating the damage the Trump Administration and its collaborators are doing and can do, while maybe overestimating the rest of the country's ability to combat, adapt and respond to it.

I dont think a third party can coalesce and strengthen enough to provide any real solutions in the next 3 years, and maybe even in a decade. And if it really tries and attracts voters, it's likely to help Trumpism by peeling off votes.

This isn't just a corrupt administration, or even an ideologically coherent political movement that's seriously trying to change the system.

It's an actually pretty diverse movement with an enormous base kept together by distrust, grievance, selfishness and resentment fed by poor education, short attention spans, and contempt for institutions and social norms, complicit conventional media and politicians, and the new "democratic" social media which I dont see anyone really capable of combatting quickly.

The people who voted for DJT are a minority of the registered voters and he barely won the plurality.

The problem is that the real purpose behind Project 2025 is to get rid of the demographic demise of the Republican Party.
