    I wonder if either party has a level of depravity they’ll put up with before choosing to not vote for their candidate

    My feeling is maybe not

      Have you looked at Project 2025? It is absolutely a blueprint for total fascism. Destroy the FBI, DOJ, DHS, FCC, and FTC. Then replace tens of thousands of federal employees with party loyalists, and practice executive unilateral theory…essentially the idea that the president is all powerful and can act unilaterally.

      If that’s not scary enough (because that is essentially the first few years of Nazi Germany in a nutshell)…let’s also cut the department of education so we can keep everyone stupid. Further bans on abortion and restrictions on contraception. Criminalize porn. Get rid of any federal DEI programs and eliminate discrimination and harassment protections for LGBT.

      Then shrink the EPA and destroy NOAA. Roll back any climate change legislation and go full-steam on fossil fuels.

      Reduce the number of generals (no doubt to keep loyalists and cronies).

      It is literally impossible to read any one page of Project 2025 and see it as anything other than a blueprint for fascism and the destruction of America, essentially handing it over to corporations and party loyalists. And it is 920 pages long. And the book is only one part of Project 2025.

      Oh, and most of this was just paraphrased from 3 paragraphs of the Wikipedia article. This is the tip of the iceberg.

      This is cartoon level villainy. They are actually spelling out their plans directly in plain view for everyone, and his own supporters are completely ignoring it, because they are spoon-fed their “news” that conveniently doesn’t include this.
