Something being written down in a planning document doesn't exactly make it precedented. Or am I misunderstanding something?

Smart people didn't shrug, they voted against it. Idiots and republicans shrugged and let this happen.
My partner's parents when we explained some of Project 2025 to them:
Oh, Trump wouldn't do all that. You know, he used to be a Democrat.
from a guy paying for twitter, eh?
Hitler wrote what he is going to do. People didn't take him serious and everyone thought oh I get an advantage. Oh this doesn't happen to me. Later when it happened to them it was too late as the people who it didn't happen to didn't wanted to help because it didn't happened to them.
Conservatives (Germany ca. 1933): Hitler will only throw the enemies of the German people in jail, so I'm safe. Gestapo, some time later at their door: Hallo. Conservatives: Oh no, who could have seen this coming?
Moral of the story: The leopard bites every face.
"You cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth"
Churchill took him very seriously after having read it, and it served him well in the long run.
The only egregious part of the carnival is that people think the shit show will end once trump dies.
He is just a puppet mouthpiece and clown face of the hidden puppet masters who are hiding behind his megalomania.
Trump didn't win, he was put there because he was useful to the real people in power, even if he doesn't know it himself.
"if you read project 2025..."? The faq makes you think maga voters can read? How were they to know?
Trump: We're going to do project 2025.
Trump: It's a good plan but we might have to workshop some things
Trump: I've never heard of it before in my life
Media: He's never heard of it before in his life.
Really sucks that the us right wing has no opposition to speak of
Don't worry, they have the center right wing to keep them in check.
Sure they do, there's the slightly more and slightly less right wing.
Well that's what we are trying to change with these progressive candidates coming through into the midterms :)
people really still fall for this 🥲
i mean there may be some merit, because the DNC is fighting these progressives far harder then the ever fought the republicans or trump. even after they already won.
Democrats still be gaslighting people who did not want to vote for their 5000th corporate stooge.
"Project 2025 is fine because democrats aren't great" - that's what you sound like. You can hate FPTP and fight to get rid of it, once you've turfed the fascists out.
You can get rid of it by voting for corporate stooges who love it?
This entire idea is based on a false premise that you somehow hold any political power AFTER voting.
I don't understand Americans, there must be appetite for a third option and yet whenever a third option is presented virtually no one votes for them.
The voting system is fucked. It's not called a two-party system for fun, but because systematically that's what happens with a first-past-the-post system. It's the spoiler effect.
the good news is that none of this seems to matter at all somehow. people carry on with their lifes as if nothing bad is happening. what the actual fuck.
Empire rise, empire fall
Same with COVID. Millions dead and no one gives a fuck except to unjustly accuse Fauci

I got laughed at and called paranoid and alarmist before Trump was re-elected when I talked about project 2025 and how terrifying it was.
One day in the summer before the election I had an interaction at work with a member of the public. An older white gentleman from a conservative area that has a lot of racists. He started talking to me and bringing the conversation around to politics, and I was mentally bracing myself to grit my teeth and remain professional. He told me how he was a lifelong Christian and then he surprised the living fuck out of me. He actually teared up and asked if I had heard of Project 2025. When I told him I had he said that it scared him so badly, that they were laying out how they wanted to oppress and kill his fellow Americans just because they were different and he was terrified that it was going to be enacted and that he didn't believe in any of that and wanted to stand up against it and would not vote for it.
I think about him every once in awhile and wish we had more people like him in this country.
I wish more people understood that there are good Christians out there. I'm not christian myself but one of my best friends is. And not one of those who just say they are but don't follow any of it. He goes to church every week, waited until marriage and spent one year after high school studying theology full time. And he is one of the nicest people I know. One of his best friends is a trans woman who lives in a polycule and he has no problem with it.
The worst Christians are the ones who don't listen to their own scripture. It litteraly says right in the new testament, dozens of times, that you shouldn't judge. Judgment is a sin.
They're not good Christians
They're good people despite Christianity
being a decent human being and being religious are basically perpendicular axes. you can be both, or neither, or either or.
some people really go out of their way to make the lives of others miserable, religious beliefs notwithstanding. the local motorbike school recently had to move their training away from an emergency wartime airfield because a nearby farmer dumped like 40 tons of of earth on it. it's not his land, it's state-owned, and it's in the middle of the woods. nobody lives within several km. he just didn't want people there.
Next up: dirt bike training!!!🤪

Project 2025 was just the latest iteration whereby they redrafted their schemes.
This was all outlined back in 1971 at the Business Roundtable that made the long game to overthrow the republic in all but name that has led us here.
Would you mind sourcing a link or giving me some good search keywords? Our tech overlords are making searching for this not a lot of fun.
I think they are referring to the Powell Memo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_F._Powell_Jr.#Powell_Memorandum_(1971)
This video connects some more of the dots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgYkde3o2Xw

That's why they destroy education. That's why they like the small-minded people. And that's why they like AI so much. They need something to do the thinking for them, but they can't afford it to be people...

For a while there Donnie tried to play it off like he had no idea was 2025 was and hand no interest in it. For some reason some people actually bought it.
