Yes, Republicans who vowed retribution are now admitting Project 2025 is real
I find this “retribution” thing very quaint…
“Retribution” for being held to the same standards as the rest of us. “Retribution” for being punished for violating the rules we’re all under. “Retribution” for being called to account for acting like awful people.
There is nothing that has been done to them that does not stem from their own, poor behavior—a completely self-fixable concern.
It's projection. They do witch hunts against others, so naturally they assume any investigation of them is a witch hunt.
Our only hope is if Project 2025 ends up not being implemented in full because of its one fatal flaw: Donald Trump didn't think of it first. He might ignore parts of it out of spite, just to make sure the Heritage Foundation understands that it is not President.
Yeah, I also suspect he may be dumb enough to do something like dissolve the IRS. Which would more or less destroy all forms of federal governmental power both soft and hard. Its something rhe sovcits have wanted for decades and I would not be surprised in the least if he got convinced by one.
Trump is really bad at following through.
Other than the millions of deaths and the bad economy, which are weirdly short-term things, what did he actually accomplish first term aside from fucking up the judiciary? And even that was really more of a McConnel accomplishment from the Obama era.
Didn't he implement something like 2/3rds of the Heritage Foundation's policy proposals in his first term?
MAGAS are incapable of associating anything bad with their dear leader. Hold them accountable.
You can't hold someone accountable if they don't think they did anything wrong. They firmly believe they're in the right, and will never believe Trump can or will do anything wrong. Anything bad that comes out of his administration, they'll just say it was Biden's fault. Kinda like how some Republicans supporters thought Obama was president during 9/11.
Right. The cons and the Republican Party are pathological liars. The "liberal media" would do well to remember that and be sure to point it out as often as possible instead of playing their bullshit bothsiderist game.
The problem is this leopard is going to eat all of our faces...
They won't be able to implement half of it just due to the bureaucracy of the system fighting against any kind of big change. The part they do manage to ram through will be damaging enough, though.
Do you know what Project 2025 is? Part of the plan involves removing the bureaucracy and replacing them with Trump loyalists and sycophants
That's if they replace them at all, as in many cases they will be eliminating regulatory agencies entirely.
I hope things like NPR can survive when their funds are finally cut entirely, as at this point the larger stations have enough donors to stay afloat. I hope.
Yes, I'm aware. Still doesn't matter. They can start down that path, and then they'll find out how hard it actually is to get the US government bureaucracy to change anything. Infighting among those "loyalists" will also bog it all down.
They're being chosen for loyalty first, and competence a distant second. It's not going to work.
They have control of all three branches of government. No checks. No balances.
All 3 branches, Trump will have all yes men in his administration, and this time he benefits from his 4 prior years of stacking the courts.
Not good enough. Even winding down an agency, like NOAA (fully planned as part of Project 2025), takes effort. These people don't have any appreciation for how they'll pull one thread and find it's connected to a hundred other threads. Trump personally lacks the attention span to put any effort into it, and the people underneath him will jockey for position and work at cross purposes.
It's not a lot of comfort right now, but fascism is self-defeating.
Isn't part of it about firing anyone that gets in their way? Schedule F provisions?
The people saying there are protections to prevent this don't understand just how bad this is. They co trol everything. The United States just became a 1 party country because assholes stayed home to protest shit that is only going to get exponentially worse under trump. They forgot the lessons of his first term.
This is such an overreaction honestly and I think it’s just giving a false start to the alarmism about Project 2025 which is exactly what these dumb extremists want. Allow me to explain.
Matt Walsh actually said this as a joke. Bannon is probably only half joking. Both had the intention of making articles like this happen so that when the backlash reaches conservative ears they can swat it away and say hey, it’s an obvious joke. Because it was.
The point is the same as what they’ve done with other phrases. They’ll point out the unjustified alarmism and use it to take the power out of the Project 2025 criticism. This is the problem with sensationalist media, they’ll raise alarms about everything well before people should listen. Then people ignore them.
So, according to your logic, shut up and enjoy it ? If it is inevitable working against is bad ?
So our only choice is to accept it. That is your message ?
Not sure how you got that message at all. These aren’t powerful people. Bannon is washed up and Matt Walsh is just a commentator that says stupid things to annoy people constantly. They’re both mostly irrelevant and don’t deserve the alarm everyone here is sounding. It serves no purpose other than to drive hysteria for people already worried about the project, to anyone not yet worried they’re less likely to be worried and see you as unreasonable. So just ignore it.
Meanwhile the newspapers: "FACT CHECK: It is incorrect to associate project 2025 with the Trump campaign" 🙄
Besides fox News and the like, who said that?
The Associated Press did
Just about all of them, FFS.
Those are some questionable sources.
