I want to think that 2024 is the battle of incumbents (ish), and that if Biden wins, 2028 will be our chance to "reset" - and get someone younger than Bernie up to the task.

If Trump wins, and Project 2025 gets its way, 2028 won't be happening.

And if Trump loses, Project 2029 will be waiting.

oh, sure. Everywhere, vigilance is required against assholes who want to fuck others over. Be they dictators, religious nutjobs, fascists, or combinations thereof. There will always be a Project 2025 waiting in the wings, to various extents.

If Biden won in November democrats would take it as confirmation that they can keep doing their pied piper strategy, you'll end up with the exact same kind of choice. Project 2025 is not going away, so it will always be used to scare democrats into voting neoliberal corporate chosen one. There will be no reset, unfortunately.

Yes, and Democrats don't want to resist Project 2025 or build a strong institutional defense against it, they want it to always and forever be an immediate danger, so they can leverage it as a threat against Americans if they don't vote for their Chosen One every election.

That's why neoliberals are complicit in the creep of fascism, they stand right up at the line and use it for political expediency but when they fail (like Clinton) it's catastrophic.
