The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

The same is likely true of the Heritage Foundation - while they have the ability (like the UN) to give an enormous platform to any set of policy proposals, and they have some influence within domestic politics, they don't have any real mechanism for implementing it unless it's something that Trump already wants to do.

I remember how Ann Coulter set fire to Trump in a criticism and suddenly he was all over the border wall. It sure was effective, a good show and kept his voters intact.

So while I think that Project 2025 can be an enormously effective tool at getting base Democrats super-riled up to donate and volunteer, I can't see that it's at all and effective issue for persuading "normies" outside of the base to change their vote.

The border is characterized as a dog whistle for brown hordes are coming for your daughter. Replacement theory is almost mainstream. We don’t have a comparable message that appeals to the fear, desire to be safe, with food on the table, and no war.

Trump is bad worked last time, but not this time.
