So much for "leave it up to the states." Not that it was ever their plan.
What platform? Hasn't there been no Republican platform since 2016? They stand for nothing
- Project 2025 is their platform. Notice how long they’ve been working towards implementing something like it.
  They just know everyone will hate the idea, so they tried not to say it out loud until they were sure of victory.
- They have a platform now, but it's only a few pages and lacks any real detail. Like something a lazy high school student would submit when they haven't bothered to do the work.

Why so coy? Everyone sees what they are doing. Wouldn't it feel so much better to just come out and say it?
That's what they said about roe v Wade...
- I think you misread
Wouldn't the majority, in their silence, by definition have an unknowable political opinion
Wait, I almost forgot, logic isn't their strong suit
All of project 2025, including the attack on abortion rights and rise of Christian nationalism, is to distract the progressive movement against corporate greed and influence. Seems like they’ve been spooked since that Indian communist activist called Piers Morgan an idiot

You get the government you deserve
- Terrible take - and it bothers me how many upvotes this has.
  The ~35% blue voters in red states does not "deserve" to have their rights trampled. Nor do voters in blue states "deserve" having their rights crushed because land gets more votes.
  
  I agree and hold a terrible opinion of anyone saying shit like that
