No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Serious answers only. For over a year I was told that trump "doesn't have anything to do with that".

I honestly need to know from an actual Republican who believed trumps words and is now witnessing p2025 almost hit 50% completion with the department of education getting dismantled.

And with that; how do these people feel that public schools, daycare centers and tech schools all going to cost 3-6x as much as it does now for tuition?

I still don't see them as Trump's actual plan.

I'm like one of three conservatives here, do you really expect a response?

[–] SolidShake@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago (7 children)

i was hoping for a response yes. and really hoping for an actual intellectual as well.

so what makes you think it isn't trumps plan? even though you can follow the progress online of p2025 and trump is checking off each objective.

what do you see p2025 as? and do you think it will make america "awesome again"

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com 4 points 2 days ago (7 children)

I see Trump's plan as Trump's plan. P25 holds some similarities, some things are just that obvious, like illegal immigrants should be deported, but it's not Trump's plan. P2025 is it's own thing, some wishlist created by some think tank that got picked up by the news because it's so stereotypical.

I think that Trump's plan is an attempt to put America back on the right track economically.

Protective tariffs for instance, are a pretty standard way of protecting domestic industry. It's expensive to comply with OSHA and labor laws, it's a lot cheaper to make stuff in China and ship it over here. Tariffs make it so that it's no longer cheaper. Bernie Sanders agrees, even if can't directly agree with Trump. https://www.sanders.senate.gov/press-releases/sanders-statement-on-trump-tariffs/

Does p25 have anything on tariffs? No, they don't.

P25 does have stuff on things like racial discrimination, which no politician in their right mind would support.

Thanks for being honest. What is Trumps actual plan?

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com 6 points 2 days ago (12 children)

Trump's plan is an attempt at putting America's economy back on track. Protective tariffs, less "aid" to foreign nations, deporting illegal immigrants, not acting like the world's police when it's Europe that will be affected most, that sort of thing.

First of all, the economy was doing fine under Biden.

Second, how is removing links to POC and female soldiers on the Arlington cemetery website getting the economy back on track?

How is banning the words "female", "women" and "bias" in research papers getting the economy back on track?

How is sending researchers abroad questionnaires about their opinions on trans people and climate change getting the economy back on track?

How is taking away the passports of trans people and changing their gender getting the economy back on track?

The person i was talking to about it said that he doesn't want Project 2025 put in place, but also voted Trump and (as you said) said Trump "doesn't have anything to do with that".

When I went to talk to them again after the election, he had either deleted his account or blocked me after I ask about Trump appointing many involved with Project 2025.

they're not going to "snap out of it". what he does for them isn't the point. he could personally fire each and every Republican and fuck every one of their wives but as long as he's a big tough guy triggering the libz, it's all fine. this is just 21st century politics now.

[–] My_IFAKs___gone@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Dang. At least in Black Mirror 21st century politics got to be shadow-ruled by an animated blue dog puppet, which took a modicum of the edge off the oppression.

Do you think that Project 2025 isn't what a bunch of conservatives want? It didn't just come from one person. A bunch of people wanted to vote for this.

Please insert face in designated slot; the next available leopard will feast on it momentarily.

Honestly we knew that, even if Trump wasn't involved, the people around him were. Y'all are too gullible. Even today I see posts on Lemmy about "Elon did this, Trump did that", pure noise draining out the real news that happens once or twice a week.
