Project 2025 is the mustache twirling villain of political platforms. Absolutely everything is the worst possible thing it can be short of literal death squads.

The death squads are implied.

[-] Carmakazi@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Specifically, they are implied with the whole "call up the National Guard under the Insurrection Act and send them out to kick doors in looking for illegals, especially in liberal strongholds." I am sure they will act strictly under the color of the law and adhere only to these reasonable, publicly stated goals.

On an unrelated note, TM 31-210 is an informative, engaging, and entertaining coffee table read, if anyone is looking for that sort of thing.

The army has a manual on how to improvise munitions from commonly available items? Who knew? The one google showed me is dated 1969. I am both curious and terrified that there might be newer versions.
