Project 2025 seems to have 3 groups.
- Those that are terrified about it.
- Those that would be terrified if they knew more about it.
- Those that think it won't affect them or anyone they care about. (See leopards ate my face party)

and a big issue is how many people from group 2 immediately move into group 3 when they are told about it
I remember when Trump separated Mexican children from their parents and kept them in actual cages while moving their parents several states away without keeping any records of which children go with which parents. Lovely guy.
“But not me,” think the people who will vote for him and have friends or family incarcerated.
These are the people who denied covid until it was too late.
Too late? Some still deny its impact after the fact
Once the consequences have landed in their backyard, they'll suddenly care... and by then, it will be far too late to act (งツ)ว
That's when you blame the Other, duh. Covid? Bidens fault exclusively.
And Obama. Obviously.
Jesus fucking Christ how could I forget about Hussien Obama in his communist tan mustard suit! THANKS OBOMBA
Are we not currently in an era of mass incarceration? It looks like currently the US is 6th in the world for incarceration rate and 1st in the world for total number of prisoners.
It actually used to be worse! We used to be 1st for incarceration rate too 😬
I was honestly shocked when I looked for a source and found out we weren't first anymore. We were first for a long time.
Yes, and it will get worse
I believe the response is in the territory of just because it's bad now doesn't mean it won't get so much worse.
I mean, I'm amazed we're not 1st in incarceration... and Project 2025 thinks that's losers numbers.
Yes you are, and it is very convenient for the DNC that they can blame it on Trump, while taking bribes from private prison companies too. It is still the same cabal like around Bill Clinton who passed mandatory minimums for drug possession.
Too bad we can’t actually talk about what should happen due to community censorship.
Here you are, saying things.... 🤷♂️
I’ve said nothing.
Try saying something then?
I wouldn’t want to break any rules.
Which rules? Rules 1-7 are only about posts and I'm sure you could make your point without using a url shortener.
If you’re being cryptic about the url shortener, I’m afraid it went over my head.
No, I was speculating on what rule you were thinking you would be breaking.
“Inciting violence” or “celebrating violence”
The patriotic thing would be to tar and feather politicians per history.
I prefer French history.
Gotta start somewhere
I don't think many people actually survived tarring and feathering. They'd probably have more luck nowadays though.
I suppose you’re right. Those burns would be pretty bad. I forgot tar would be HOT.
Correction: a new era of mass incarceration of poor people. Trump pardoned many wealthy people in his first administration, no doubt that will continue.
Is that different from the current era we are in?
I mean... worse is different.
ACLU didn't say we're going from a shining world to bad... they're saying "OH BOY IF YOU THINK THINGS ARE BAD NOW!"
And so much debt..
