Why would it be bad to terminate investigations that are unlawful or contrary to national interests?
In Hungary, state institutions like the police of the tax bureau only target people and companies outside of Fidesz’es interest group. That’s what they want to adapt, so every company will fall in line with Project 2025.
The Heritage Foundation not only helped Orbán into power, but also learned a lot from their playbook.
Because “contarary to national interests” means “any investigation that targets friends of mine”
That could be how you would mean it, but that is not how I interpret it or how they intended it.
If something is against “national interest” and your president is trying to become an autocrat, that means they can essentially pick and choose what national interest is. This should be setting off alarm bells in EVERYONE’S head as an obvious grab for power.
I’m not american, so I don’t have direct skin in the game, but everyone on both sides of the political spectrum who don’t self identify as fascist should be against this.
If you don’t interpret this as something extremely dangerous, you need to have a sit down and really think about the implications.
At first I naively thought “why is that a bad thing?”, but then realized who exactly decides what these “national interests” are?
Definitely using some “weasel words” in their policy to get away with some shady shit.
Think about how many times in the last few months Trump has complained about the rigged trials. Now imagine him being able to unilaterally decide which investigations are lawful and which aren’t.
I’m not a capitalist but glad the free market regularly aligns with DEI. Thought the company I work at would back off a bit to the news coverage of outraged hysterics but they’ve doubled down.
The free market doesnt align with DEI, its forced by corporations and organizations that are backed up by the government.
Thats funny, I was born and raised in Portland and now it sucks due to the type of policies people like you advocate for.
Is this a joke? The only reason the “free market” pretended to align with DEI in the first place was for regulations and public relations purposes. The capitalist class has never and will never give a fuck about DEI. You know that HR departments are not our friends, right? Their job is to execute the will of the capitalist class upon the working class.

but biden said umm. i can’t tell the difference /s
already happening
The US ruling class has been trying to do all of these things for decades. I’ve been treated like I’m insane for calling this out since well before Project 2025 was formulated. It’s honestly frustrating to see the amount of people finally coming around now that all their ducks are in a row and a second Trump term is looking more and more certain every day. Biden’s been literally doing Republican policies for his entire presidency and we haven’t heard a fucking peep from the liberal “activists” in my area about it.
