You know who else disavowed what he wrote publicly to pacify his critics? Hitler with Mein Kampf. He kept repeating he wrote Mein Kampf in 1925 but had changed his views since. Guess what: he hadn't.
And surprise-surprise, the Orange Utan hasn't either. It's almost like we didn't see that one coming from a mile away...
And don't think for a second that I'm the only one to see the striking parallel.
I have a friend who says things like "oh that project isn't real its just a think tank".
Nobody writes a document that long and detailed just as a little thought experiment. It was obviously a manifesto and I don't know how so many people against project 2025 still voted for the party supporting it.
It had a 4!!!!! Percent approval rating. 4!!
And yet.. he won the popular vote.
I'm an American in a poor red state. I really hope the FO portion of fafo hits us SUPER hard.
It'll suck for me.. but man it'll be great to be that smug asshole reminding folks who they voted for.
In my county 23% voted Harris. So odds are good that dude in the lifted Ford is a trumpkin.
Fucking idiots....
Trump has never read Project 2025. Or Mein Kampf. Or The Art of the Deal. Or any book in his life.
He might have listened to the audiobook version of Mein Kampf, but probably not in the original German like his dad would have.
I've run into some trump voters who aren't worried about project 2025 because "i'm going to vote against it in 2025" and it's like… goddammit, why did the republicans get so good at propaganda so fast (hint: Russian money)
What? The mental gymnastics on these people...
No mental gymnastics are needed when they straight up don't know how their own government works.
yeah. these are people who think the new president takes office election night, think the federal government does ballot measures, and haven't ever really voted in a national election that wasn't for president. it's not mental gymnastics to not know things
Told and told and told by everyone with half a brain but as usual the nitwits wanna listen to the "entertainer"
They knew. They wanted this. The denying just gave them "plausible" deniability.
And that's what makes them nitwits
That's what makes them traitors.
So what are you going to do about it America?
It seems like everyone is waiting for another chance to vote. Voting isn't the only political action.
If you want to prevent this agenda you still have options. I don't just mean protests and riots, but organized labor.
A general strike would cripple them. Start organizing your workplaces, join unions, join community groups. The time for voting is over the time for direct action is now. You don't have to wait until the whole project is implemented, you don't have to wait for a disappointing Democratic candidate to gaslight you in 2028. Take action now, join a movement now. The more you do now the better off you'll be in the future.
So what are you going to do about it America?
Nothing. We're fucking pathetic.
How does one go about looking for movements to join? Honestly asking. I'm assuming I can't just type "labor movements near me" into Google maps, but I honestly don't know where to start looking for trustworthy resources on this stuff.
don’t know where to start looking
Ergo first order of business, construct such list.
A big part of the problem is those most impacted by these policies cannot afford to take time off to strike or protest. And I'm not sure if it's as bad in America as it is in Canada but if there was a general labour strike, our Canadian politicians would just solve it by importing cheap labour.
Hope everyone is ready to suffer.
I'd say blame it on conservatives. But you can also blame it on the absolute idiots that voted 3rd party, were single issue voters, or abstained from voting. They're just as much to blame and just as stupid as Trump supporters.
But genocide joe or some shit
"Genocide Joe" passed more meaningful legislation for average Americans then most presidents. But the conservative propaganda machine won and made him seem like the devil incarnate because stupid Americans can't discern fact from fiction.
That's not what happened. The slice of America that turned hard against Harris was uninformed voters, not engaged leftists. That is absolutely clear in the exit polls. There was also a massive spike in google searches about whether Biden was still in the race ON ELECTION DAY. If you just have to blame someone other than Biden and Harris, that's who you must blame. All the evidence says your terminally online theory is flat wrong.
I hate trump voters, but I hate the people who know how awful he is but stayed home even more.
Same.
Nobody should be surprised by this.
Project 2025 is and has always been a right wing conservative wishlist the GOP has maintained since forever.
The idea the conservatives were ever disavowing conservatism was laughably stupid.
Project 2025 was considered unique in detailing how to get rid of checks and balances, ergo terminate democracy.
Heritage Foundation has been working on that since the 1970s, but yeah, it is the most updated and calibrated plan of action.
yet the biden administration still won't pass the equal rights amendment that would help protect us from project 2025.
That’s always been his plan. And it’ll happen because these Heritage Foundation ghouls will run the government off-camera while Trump and his reality TV cabinet distract us with fights and absurd sound bites in between his golf rounds.
Trump's TRANSition team
Trump was the one turning kids trans in schools all along
Headline next year: Trump Administration Bans the Word 'Trans'
And why should anyone be surprised?
Rumor of shitty thing republicans are planning
Republicans deny shitty thing is being planned, that was just (insert republican official here) brought up, claim it’s just the official on their own.
Months later republicans are trying to officially enact shitty thing they denied planning.
They never came up with any other plan, so they're just going with what they've got. They haven't been able to govern for more than a decade. They're so fractured and have done nothing more than shit talk and blame, so no nobody is willing to try to get republicans to form a group capable of planning anything other than who to point fingers at.
They never came up with any other plan
The guy said he had concepts of plans in a debate designed as a platform for candidates to let America know what their plans are.
And then we elected him anyways.
Americans are fucking stupid.
Take politics and politicians out of the equation and you're still left with stupid fucking Americans. And THAT is why we're doomed in the long run.
In other news, water is wet.
This is exactly what they said they would not do... trump stated several times that he would not go forward with this project that he had never ever in a million years heard of.... You people were played like a cheap russian fiddle.
Lying liar lies again. We're all horribly shocked.
Oh so its ok for trump to transition?!?! I see how it is....
When you're a rich prick, they let you do it
