Democracy. The biggest panic business.

I heard (while watching the World Series) that Project 2025 is going to become law if Trump wins... I'm sure plenty of people believe that.

Its all so absurd.

I saw one of those while watching football with my dad and we were like "If only Trump wanted to do any of this stuff."

The add we saw was all about cutting entitlements and taxes.

Yeah.

The mirror of this is with Harris and unrealized cap gains. No way that actually happens. Many other things as well. There are people that want that but it isn't happening and Harris is a typical politician. She doesn't care about policy.

The difference is that those are policies that she's actually advocated, whereas everything they're attributing to Trump from Project 2025 he's expressly disavowed.

You're right that neither of them have any intention of doing these things, but it's pure make-believe to scaremonger on Project 2025, wrt Trump.

Totally. The Project 2025 stuff is what a group hopes they can convince him to do. But the ad made it sound like it is some entity that will just be put into place on day 1. Its absurd.

Thanks for the book recommendation of A Theory of Socialism and Capitalism. Finding it both interesting and helpful.

I'm glad you're liking it. It's one of my favorites from the Austrian tradition.
