@georgetakei The only reason anyone did not see it is because they consciously chose not to.

@georgetakei

I'm surprised it took so long. I called it on Sept 12th, 2001.

@CrypticMirror @georgetakei If there is such a thing as a national soul, this has been on open display for a hot while.
@georgetakei To be fair despots do tell people what they plan to do. The problem is not with the despot but rather people don't listen
@georgetakei It has *always* had this lurking it its national makeup. Buried in the DNA of the nation. It just took a not particularly hard nudge to energise it.
@georgetakei it's real sad that being right is exactly worth nothing when it come to stop bad things from happening

@georgetakei

Told you so indeed…

@georgetakei

I cannot boost this enough

@georgetakei

Ignorance is a very poor excuse

@georgetakei Yup, up here in #Canada we've seen this coming to the #US for years....

@georgetakei This response is maddening. No, it hasn't been "sudden." They've been working on this for decades. The first time made it extremely obvious this was what they were going to try, and yes, Project 2025 was explicit.
