Sorry, but I fail to see how we can categorize a mass shooting as "Jack shit happening". I would actually say that mass shooters are an example that strongly supports OPs sentiment that people who write huge manifestos tend to take action. Maybe they don't achieve all the lofty goals set out in said manifesto, but that seems like it would be small comfort to the people who got shot.

There appears to be a miscommunication. The event/s that they perform happen, but the vision they see for society changing according to their manifesto based on their actions never comes to fruition. They might shoot a bunch of people, but jack shit changes because of it. At the end of the day, it's basically just weather in the USA.

That's because those mass shooters don't have the power to make those changes. The "people" who wrote project 2025 are being given that power.

Nothing that can be done about that through the two-party system. Republicans will always make things worse while Democrats will never make anything better.
