Libs have so little historical memory they've forgotten they've already had Trump in office and it wasn't really that big of a deal

[–] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 44 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I mean they are all admittedly concerned about Project 2025 and tbh I think a second Trump term will be worse than the first.

[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 32 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Basically, everything The Heritage Foundation has been pushing for for decades is lined up to happen via a reclassification of federal positions and an internal purge of the executive bureaucracy. They have a shortlist of thousands of people ready to be appointed and start working on their agenda. Just really shifting into overdrive on the fascist rhetoric and policy.

[–] hotcouchguy@hexbear.net 21 points 4 months ago

At the rate Biden is adopting Trump policy, he'll purge them himself anyway

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 18 points 4 months ago (6 children)

Gotta be real, I have no idea what project 2025 is other than the next wave of ehstever libs are scared of.

[–] TrashGoblin@hexbear.net 40 points 4 months ago (3 children)

Basically, Trump didn't accomplish anything in his first term because he doesn't know how government works, he didn't know who to hire, and he's personally difficult to work with. So the Federalist Society and a bunch of other chud think tanks wrote it all down as a step by step list for him.

[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 23 points 4 months ago

This is a really good summary tbh

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

And they think he can follow a list?

[–] FlaminGoku@reddthat.com 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The list has hamburgers and money bags at the end of each one.

I think he accomplished a lot. he got 3 people on the supreme court and got roe vs wade overturned, for one. as well as all the other fucked up stuff the court has been doing lately. appointed a ton of fascist federal judges. and tons of other things that I dint feel like googling.

It really sounds like the liberals realized to some extent that the Republicans actually mean to wield power and will use elected office to entrench power so the next time They Win they're gonna do A Bunch of That but instead of like also doing that to fuck them out of power while the democrats are in office they're doing nothing but telling you we gotta VOTE to stop it. Which means EVERY ELECTION is gonna be like this UNTIL WE'RE DEAD because this project 2025 shit is literally just "what the republicans are gonna do next time they're in power"

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 13 points 4 months ago

I'm sure they've stated how they would do anything different in a measurable way

[–] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 27 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Normal Republican policy that is happening no matter who is in office

[–] qaopjlll@hexbear.net 17 points 4 months ago

Also known as Democrat policy 10 years from now

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 17 points 4 months ago

But it has a scary name now!

[–] Tomboymoder@hexbear.net 17 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Some big plan that will make America a “dictatorship” idk a lot about it either, but it’s basically more of what the Supreme Court is already doing.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 18 points 4 months ago

It set off my liberal conspiracy alarm and I ignored it. My guess was that it'd be some technocratic fantasy about Trump doing the same thing either party has been shown to do. I couldn't imagine voting for either of these creeps let alone carrying water for them. Inhad this game figured out at age 9 when the 2000 election happened. It's not hard to figure out if you operate within the easily achievable framework that it's all bullshit

The Project 2025 document outlines four main aims: restore the family as the centrepiece of American life; dismantle the administrative state; defend the nation’s sovereignty and borders; and secure God-given individual rights to live freely.

Lots of whistles and notably it also plans to end sustainable energy funding and go all-in on gas and coal, and end diversity laws to make it much easier to discriminate against people.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago (1 children)

So, libs raising hysteria over the Republicans doing what the democrats would also do

[–] BabyTurtles@hexbear.net 16 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No, DNC has a demonstrably better record on sustainable energy, LGBT rights, and women's rights. You are completely removed from reality if you genuine believe what you just said.

I'm my experience saying anything true and not negative about Democrats means general cult-ish brainrot is going to come after me for being pro-genocide and supporting Biden. I still don't support genocide or Biden. I don't feel like I need to divorce myself from reality to explain why Democrats and Biden are bad.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Demonstrate that record to me

Here's an easy one: states where abortion is legal vs states where abortion is illegal.

[–] DannyMac@lemm.ee 3 points 4 months ago

This last week tonight segment covers it: https://youtu.be/gYwqpx6lp_s

[–] Vampire@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

I've read a little about Project 2025 (I don't follow this stuff closely) and it seems bad. But how realistic is it? Aren't there always frimge groups with bad/extremist ideas?

[–] DannyMac@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago (2 children)

They weren't prepared in 2020. Now they're extra prepared with Project 2025. They were scrambling for bullets in 2020, now they'll have a fully armed batallion if Trump is elected in 2025. Not only does he not have to worry about getting reelected and thereby has the freedom to do as he pleases (and now BONUS, he can't be held accountable for any laws he breaks while in office), but Project 2025 is paving the way to keep him in office indefinitely.

I don't want to live in Gilead.

[–] Spike@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

(and now BONUS, he can't be held accountable for any laws he breaks while in office)

He hasn't been held accountable for anything

Anyway Project 2025 is just an extension of Biden's already in place policies

Damn could you shut the fuck up please? Thanks
