For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.
The best thing Project 2025 did was write down all the horrible plans they had so that people could react to it instead of dismissing opponents pointing out what the conservative talking points would actually mean in practice.
They wrote down that they were leopards who planned to eat faces!
They also gave it a catchy, vague name that people can associate anything they want with, but short enough to remember easily. No "PATRIOT Act" here. The only way they could have made it an easier target would be to call it "The Document of Sinister Evil".
It also covers so much evil. Banning abortions, banning porn, ending the ACA, ending school funding, ending Trans rights, cutting medicare and social security, on and on and on.
Even if you agree with some of the evil, it has so much that youre going to find something that you don't like in it.
It's an easy thing to get consensus across the political sphere because there is so much hate in it.
"The Gilead and The Obesity"
Also give it a simple name and thing to focus on. Which is much much easier to describe to masses of people, and to rally around.
Lol I thought you wrote eat feces for a sec.
Yeah I agree with you though. They got bold. They probably will keep their evil plans more under wraps in the future, unless trump wins.
We're talking about Trump's Project 2025 plan, right? The one endorsed by Donald Trump, that Project 2025?
That's right, Trump's Project 2025 that many people of Trump's team also helped write
It's this the one authored by >100 people from the Trump administration, that mentions him like 300 times? That Project 2025?
Are you guys talking about Trump’s Project 2025? I’ve heard a lot of bad things about Trump’s 2025 project.
Yeah, a lot of people are saying it. Smart people. Trump’s Project 2025 would be a disaster.
As is ever the case with conservative policies. As long as people know about them they don't like them. That's why they focus so hard so incredibly hard, and so incredibly successfully, on catchphrases and messaging. Because most people will settle for just a simple catch phrase, or a 10-word answer, and not look closer.
It's why their main messaging is to attack their opponents rather than focus on the policies they would like to implement...
The Republican base is fully supportive of everything in Trump's Project 2025 so Republican legislators will absolutely push to see it all come to fruition.
Which is why I find it terrifying that people say trump has no policy.
If they said "trump has no policy solution to problems the masses want to see solved" they'd be absolutely right. But I never see it worded that way. In fact, previous to project 2025 almost no one seemed to think there was any coherent direction to his actions. And yeah I get it, he failed on things like the wall. But he also did a lot of anti-immigrant, anti-women, and anti-democratic things which should never be forgotten.
The Right doesn’t care if most people like it. It’s not for most people - fascism never is.
They care about taking power and enacting their plans. Public opinion’s got nothing to do with it
They care if it keeps their guy from getting elected, though
Their guy getting elected depends on the electoral college, which only loosely represents the popular vote. They don’t need MOST people to like their plans. They need most people in certain districts in certain states.
I'm so confused. But I'm also relieved. I can't believe Trump fell into his own trap he was making his voters scared of "the green new deal" now he's made his own boogeyman
IVF was the only way my wife and myself could have children. I have my first newborn this year, we have additional eggs frozen. It took a long time to get to where I am at for IVF, fuck anyone that even slightly supports this atrocity. I hope people both Rep/Dem look bad and are sickened at what is trying to be accomplished
I thought they learned in 16 that putting their plans in writing was a guarantee loss.
