Paul Krugman:
"Immense cruelty was always part of the (Project 2025) plan, but policy wasn’t supposed to get this cruel, this soon.
So what went wrong? I’d attribute it to a combination of policy ignorance, visceral hatred of doing anything that helps people in need, and the Epstein files.
It’s difficult to get a man to understand something when his membership in a political cult depends on his not understanding it."
Cruelty - it's a feature, not a bug.
