But you may be right: Unconscious self-interest ≠ malice.

Virtue often requires going against instinct. But assuming malice in others can become self-fulfilling.

Assumptions of bad intent reduce social cooperation and produce actual malice.

I tend to believe the opposite. Unconsciously, a sizable proportion of humanity wants to be malicious and dishonest.

Extreme self-interest is in our genes. Violation of self-interest is unnatural. Doing what is unnatural is often the most virtuous thing one can do.

Rather, Project 2025 emphasizes government restructuring, executive consolidation, and sweeping reforms to agencies that safeguard civil rights and civil-service independence — elements many critics interpret as threatening rather than protecting civil liberties, privacy, and democratic governance.

The version of “Heritage 2025” described in the assertion — framed as a pro-constitution, pro-civil-liberty, pro-privacy, pro-ally/NATO, ethics-focused plan — does not align with what is publicly known about Project 2025.

With or without Trump, MAGA are hooked on rage, sadistic violence, and one-way cultural warfare to distract from rapidly growing American household poverty and collapsing health.

A GOP candidate’s wife casually shares photos of Hitler’s wife, Eva Braun, admiring her. An ICE “hype video” uses a Sabrina Carpenter song with sexual lyrics over footage of migrants being tackled.

Megyn Kelly fantasizes about people “losing a limb” and “bleeding out,” after downplaying Republican sexual abuse of children because the rape victims were teenagers.

They should sue the Republican Party, not the government or taxpayers.

The government will be Democratic by the time the case gets through the courts, and Trump's victims will be paying for Trump's sins.

And now Bulwarkers have waited nearly a year before finally raising opposition to the same crimes in Venezuela.

Why?
December 1, 2025 at 11:54 PM
The parties that comprise The Bulwark all supported war crimes in Iraq, Gaza, and long ago in Central America, the Philippines, and South Africa.

And like Netanyahu, for decades Bulwarkers criticized Hamas in public while aiding Hamas under the table to ensure a need for permanent occupation.

But Walsh feeds the right-wing delusion anyway.
December 1, 2025 at 11:45 PM
Joe Walsh uses the same fear tactic every time he falsely accuses conservative Democrats of fealty to "transgender Marxists": bogeymen who are as real as unicorns.

The Democrats have never supported "gender ideology" or "Marxism"; the most they ever did was say trans people shouldn't be harassed.
