I'm ignorant because I'm getting old. I also feed the capitalist machine by working too much. What is project 2025?
Yes I could look it up, but I want to hear it from people not fucking biased shit bags.
To avoid charges of bias, how about direct quotes from their own manifesto:
Lol
The First Amendment only covers racial slurs /s
But only the really bad ones like "cracker"
Ironically, these freaks could do with some post-nut clarity.
i am wholly convinced that a significant amount of conservatives, and especially republicans, are extremely gay and are as miserable as they are because a fundamental part of their existence is being forcibly supressed by themselves and everyone around them.
I want to live in the timeline where the republican party is brought down by rouge sluts who bring these people off behind a shed and slowly make them realize it's okay to be gay.
Those grievances really peter out at the end. Seriously? You think america is turning into a totalitarian shit hole bent on literally destroying humanity and you're also worried about a marginal food stamp benefit loophole?
It just goes to show how intent they are on destroying any government mechanism that helps regular people, no matter how obscure, in order to afford more tax cuts for the obscenely wealthy.
Go tell a hungry child how unimportant free school lunches are.
That's true. They don't have to do much to make things a lot worse for those who are already in the worst situations
Yes because they're not serious thinkers, they're reactionary idiots who grasp at straws and gets mad about the smallest things they hear about
Every single one of the shitbags that wrote this deserves to be shot, as a service to humanity.
Sorry, not sorry.
holy fucking shit, my European mind cannot comprehend this. If this was published as a work of dystopian fiction here it'd be criticised for being too over the top and unrealistic- and you folks are being actually threatened with it, what the fuck
Yup. The biggest threat, and the one we can do little about, are those who know this and still support it. The second largest threat are the ignorant who don't know this and blindly support it. The third are individuals who know this, don't support it, and don't support the Democratic party. I argue knowing this information and supporting Biden AND carrying that success into his second term to continue pressuring is what will enact meaningful change.
Instead we seem to be getting people who don't support Trump, the GOP, Biden, or any reasonable argument. Which while still in the minority, these folks are LOUD.
While I didn't not believe, I had to look it up myself to verify that this is true. I kept seeing it but held out some semblance of hope.
Anyways, here's the full 900+ page 'mandate' that anyone can read or (not) buy a physical copy: https://www.project2025.org/policy/
Of all the crimes in that list, trying to make "Great Awokening" happen has me facepalming the hardest
Just as a concept. Also, does this mean we won't have to use gendered terms anymore 👀
Well, apparently there has been no free speech since "gender" became a thing.
If anyone wrote this in Western Europe, they would go to jail, unless an angry mob lynches and kills them first.
Although Europe's countries do have major parties with the same goals, they just avoid saying the quiet part out loud
Yeah, Central and Eastern Europe (mostly) is often a mess. Slovakia, Hungary, Turkey, Belarus...
Also happening in a not-yet-dictatorship-form in Germany, Netherlands, Finland, Sweden...
I need to buy a gun
No, you need to vote.
Porque no los dos
Shit bags.
Aren't they supposed to hide all that shit behind tax bills and whatnot? Shouldn't they at least sprinkle in a little bit of not-evil in there?
maga-oriented platform/agenda structured toward replacing existing checks and balances in government with ideological extremism, using violent force against political opponents, using minorities such as people of color, immigrants, and the trans community as a to-be-feared “other” as justification. literally mask-off fascism, in other words.
if you have time to kill, this creator does an excellent job of providing a leveled and cogent explanation. it’s quite depressing though so don’t watch if youve had a bad one. :)
edit: oops wrong link
Nice post. Also if anyone has time to kill I've got a list ready.
Let's be honest, we're all biased fucking shit bags
I want to hear it from the fucking shitbags that share my bias lol
None of us here are biased. We know because we've told each other so!
I believe you because You're on the same website I am and you're telling me so
I am a communist. Take that to mean what you will and assume whatever implicit bias to what I’m about to write that suits you.
During trumps presidency, the administration attempted to do a bunch of stuff through executive orders and administrative state action. Some of that was successful, some of it was a failure. Before Covid, the line of thinking seemed to be that the failures were from either oppositional administrators or sclerotic institutions and couldn’t be reasonably overcome. if anyone remembers the rhetoric back then there was a lot of stuff we associate with fascism and naziism because it represented creating a structure of parallel power to government so that when government was unwilling or unable to take action that structure could step in and perform.
No need to discipline the weirmacht into perpetrating krystallnacht when the ss will do it.
Once Covid happened, either through a shock to the system or through hidden competence, the administrative state was shown to be capable of huge feats of logistics, information dissemination (importantly sometimes misinformation dissemination), media control and direct interaction in citizens lives.
Now that the dust has settled for better or worse, the people who were willing to stoke groups like the proud boys and events like unite the right have turned their attention to the clearly capable administrative state.
No need to manage a fickle paramilitary organization if you can actually just mobilize the weirmacht, you know?
Project 2025 is just that, a plan to use the administrative state to accomplish republican policy goals successfully. While the rhetoric and policy in it is often waved around to motivate people, the important part is that post Covid it represents a plan to use the state power that defined Covid to get those policies enacted.
This whole site is biased shitbags tho.
