Literally has a guidebook written and published as part of his campaign. And people still vote for him.
What is this?
I believe they are referring to Project 2025: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025
This is disgusting
I wonder if either party has a level of depravity they'll put up with before choosing to not vote for their candidate
My feeling is maybe not
Have you looked at Project 2025? It is absolutely a blueprint for total fascism. Destroy the FBI, DOJ, DHS, FCC, and FTC. Then replace tens of thousands of federal employees with party loyalists, and practice executive unilateral theory...essentially the idea that the president is all powerful and can act unilaterally.
If that's not scary enough (because that is essentially the first few years of Nazi Germany in a nutshell)...let's also cut the department of education so we can keep everyone stupid. Further bans on abortion and restrictions on contraception. Criminalize porn. Get rid of any federal DEI programs and eliminate discrimination and harassment protections for LGBT.
Then shrink the EPA and destroy NOAA. Roll back any climate change legislation and go full-steam on fossil fuels.
Reduce the number of generals (no doubt to keep loyalists and cronies).
It is literally impossible to read any one page of Project 2025 and see it as anything other than a blueprint for fascism and the destruction of America, essentially handing it over to corporations and party loyalists. And it is 920 pages long. And the book is only one part of Project 2025.
Oh, and most of this was just paraphrased from 3 paragraphs of the Wikipedia article. This is the tip of the iceberg.
This is cartoon level villainy. They are actually spelling out their plans directly in plain view for everyone, and his own supporters are completely ignoring it, because they are spoon-fed their "news" that conveniently doesn't include this.
Maybe Biden should be less DOGSHIT, then I wouldn't have to worry about him losing to that other, bigger piece of shit
You're worried about Biden losing?
Are 'lib' and 'fucking lib' different categories? Otherwise those statements are kinda mutually exclusive.
Maybe you're too emotional about this to make sense.
Lmao if you saw my inbox right now you might bet a better sense of what 'too emotional' looks like
Were you like this before or are the emotional replies rubbing off on you?
i want this, too. democrats railed against dhs as fascist when bush implemented it. fbi and doj enforce unjust laws. fuck all that. get rid of them all.
I disagree with DHS too, but at this point INS and a whole bunch of other stuff kinda either merged in or cohabitated it to the point that I'm not really sure what DHS role is.
Regardless this is 4d chess. Everybody knows Trump doesn't like most the 3-letter agencies for reasons other than far-right idealism. He has been preaching to his base that they are politicized and engaged in a witch hunt against him, and they soaked it in like R. Kelly's sheets.
So, what happens? Biden can't call out this part of P2025 individually because it'll fuel the flames of Trump's base and backfire against him.
Trump has a very obedient, angry mob behind him. Nearly every part of P2025 is something that if Biden were to call it out individually, it'd pour gas on Trump's dumpster fire of a campaign.
The reason is because Trump and the Republican party has no problem, essentially, punching below the belt. Dems have enough tact and honor left to still not be bending the rules or start punching down now. Good on them, but it is kind of a shame, because it's a losing strategy. It's like a nerd wearing a protective cup because he knows the bully is going to kick him in the nuts again, and that's the best strategy they can come up with.
p2025 is a boogeyman, anyway. they've been writing position papers like this for decades now. just how much of their 2016 agenda was trump able to enact? practically nothing. and it will be the same with this.
Very much disagree with this.
As I'd said, the Republican strategy is and always has been to suppress Democratic voters as much as possible.
The right already controls one branch of federal government (judicial).
The executive, everyone knows is up for this year, and that's the main focus.
For the legislative, every seat in the House is up for vote, along with one third of Congress.
Making Dems apathetic is the goal. Doing that, they can clean sweep all three branches.
And, if they don't, it's already well known that Trump admires fascist dictators. Nobody should be surprised if he goes a little bit outside his lane when he's got even just the courts in his side. Look at the games his judges are playing now.
can i bet you a dogecoin he doesn't get even 10% of it accomplished? the policies are in black in white so they can be enumerated. come 2029, we could easily calculate the effectiveness of p2025.
