Could not agree more, and it's been infuriating to see the media treat him as a normal person who says and does normal things.

Along with his ilk, project 2025 should be talked about daily by the media and the lack of attention makes them complicit in its installation.

The media normalizes this behavior for profit through clicks and eyeballs, desensitizing their audience and allowing the behavior to become more acceptable. A feedback loop of rage-bait and tribalism deteriorating social relationships.
