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....
Same, red county-district-state. I would hope the same but they won't attribute it to their dear* leader. His Tariffs and GOP policy will fuck them too, but fox and podcasts will tell them it's the deep state Democrats keeping them down. They all were doing the "this is Biden's America" posts in 2020. GOP can do no wrong in their eyes. Used to be child rape was a deal breaker but even that is A-OK now, as long as the Democrats lose.
Did He?
Oh shit I hadn't seen that.
Conspiracy theorist nonsense debunked by snopes.
Yet she was part of the administration that got you that huge infrastructure project and new factory incentives the donvict will take credit for
All the policy goals are the same as what's been in the Republican platform for decades. The only thing Project 2025 adds is how to get there. Is Trump a useful idiot? Maybe, although it would be silly to operate under that assumption rather than believing he's just as committed as the rest of them. Either way, the idea having seeped into the popular consciousness of the American voter that Project 2025 is something other than a serious plan for a Republican administration is an astonishing bit of doublethink. Orwell spins like a turbine in his grave.
Actually getting the policys in place is the hardest part of policy making. Now they'll be able to do that.
We're going to need to hook Orwell up to the grid. He's going to produce a lot of spins in the next few years.
I thought it was considered unique in detailing how to get rid of checks and balances, ergo terminate democracy.
Can you be truly against something if you cannot even be bothered to have the slightest idea what it is?
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.
Actually, his wife and his friends said they've only seen him actively read one book, which is a book of Hitler's speeches.
That's just what he wanted them to think. Inside the book, he had hidden a single Bazooka Joe comic that took him 5 years to read. And then he didn't get the joke so he had to take another 5 years to read it. And he still didn't get the joke so... basically he's going to put anyone with a Bazooka Joe comic in their possession in front of a firing squad when he gets in charge.
Okay but bazooka firing squad sounds at least interesting
his dad read it because he was a fucking Nazi.
Exactly what I was getting at.
holy shit. well that explains quite alot
