There is a president that tried to overthrow the elected government, is a convicted criminal, is openly corrupt and don’t get me started on what he did to children! And no one does something! It’s insane.
A couple people have tried to do something.
For a while there Donnie tried to play it off like he had no idea was 2025 was and hand no interest in it. For some reason some people actually bought it.
Trump is just a puppet to distract from the Project 2025 and Techno Libertarian assholes behind the scenes. They put him on the ticket because the Idiot Cult is easy votes. He agreed because it meant staying out of jail.
The real tell, is if in Jan, they immidiately turn on him and install True Believer™ Vance as the new President. Then they can just manipulate everything to 10 years of perfrct Christo fascism.
Except the world economy will likely collapse before that.
Desperation would be my guess.
Virtually everything he says is a lie anyway.
And also the truth too. Like he said that he is going to take away the rights of certain others to vote, who in the past have done so “incorrectly”, and he said that he will run again for a third term. I believe he is genuine about both of those.
For a while Biden pretended not to know he was alive, in order to completely support and supply an active genocide. Death to America.
Most people didn’t read it. For or against
But remember that bOtH sIdEs SaMe, at least according to some. Sorry, I know it’s heartbreaking to keep saying that, but it’s true (that people say that). Some people say things that are going to legitimately get millions (billions even?) of people killed, and entire nations (already) toppled. Just so we can eventually become more open to becoming “communist” like… (checks notes) North Korea.
Mind you, I doubt that they actually believe it, but they do keep saying it nonetheless.
I am reminded that a deer freezing upon being confronted with headlights is actually a somewhat decent evolutionary strategy: moving would draw immediate attention to them, especially against a backdrop that they can blend into. And if they get caught and eaten well… at that point it was basically inevitable anyway, so some slim chance at avoiding that gruesome end is better than an even tinier, basically non-existent one.
Which side is anti genocide in the middle east? Which side is anti war?
Your foreign policy is uniparty, and it features exclusively death and destruction of millions of civilians.
Death to America.
Which side is anti genocide in the middle east? Which side is anti war?
Good point, let’s reelect the convicted rapist pedophile
It is true that people say it, but it’s far more true that they are such a trivial number of people that like North Korea that the fact that they come up so frequently in these conversations feels like such a misplace of energy.
If you want to criticized someone for being deer in the headlights of project 2025, maybe consider the democratic establishment, that watched idly by while republicans broke norms, and arguably laws, to pack the supreme court. Inventing new conventions for reasons why they can’t cede a single seat as the unelected body of supreme rule found radical new ways to insert themselves into established law.
All while keeping the facade that the courts are a neutral body that simply arbitrates, and that their decisions are in good faith.
All of this is very easy when you accept the Americans are fucking morons.
Trump: We’re going to do project 2025.
Trump: It’s a good plan but we might have to workshop some things
Trump: I’ve never heard of it before in my life
Media: He’s never heard of it before in his life.
When I showed people they were like “is this real?” And I showed them it was being hosted by Wikipedia but most of them still thought it was fake
Kamala Harris stated that while she anticipated many of Donald Trump’s presidential actions, she was deeply surprised by the widespread “capitulation” of institutions, lawmakers, and corporate leaders who failed to act as guardians of democracy.
Yup. Almost like corporate leaders were never guardians of democracy.
That has to be a lie. If we knew what would happen, how could she not.
Democrats still be gaslighting people who did not want to vote for their 5000th corporate stooge.
I don’t understand Americans, there must be appetite for a third option and yet whenever a third option is presented virtually no one votes for them.
American voting behavior is entirely controlled by the media and their oligarch owners. Americans believe so thoroughly in the myth of their free press that they outsource their political analysis to whatever media outlet triggers their specific fears/hatreds/desires.
Yeah, clearly you do not understand the basics of our electoral system.
Because of the way our voting system works, voting for a third party usually votes against the voters interests.
For example…the 2000 Election was a huge hubbabaloo over the voting results from Florida…was a very narrow margin between Democrat and Environmentalist Al Gore, and Republican George W. Bush.
Ralph Nader also ran for the Green Party, one of the larger and more well-known third parties. Green is very left, and very environmentalist.
Nader didn’t get very many votes…but he did get enough that had like half of those voters just voted for Gore, Gore would’ve won the state and thus the election, and the world would be a much cooler place today.
I’m certain that if we had a preferential/ranked-choice voting system, the runoff process would’ve revealed Gore as a very clear winner.
But instead…we got George W. Bush.
The voting system is fucked. It’s not called a two-party system for fun, but because systematically that’s what happens with a first-past-the-post system. It’s the spoiler effect.
“Project 2025 is fine because democrats aren’t great” - that’s what you sound like. You can hate FPTP and fight to get rid of it, once you’ve turfed the fascists out.
You can get rid of it by voting for corporate stooges who love it?
This entire idea is based on a false premise that you somehow hold any political power AFTER voting.
You’re an idiot if you don’t vote, you’re a robot if you do, you can’t win either way.
By not voting, you’re giving up your rights before you’ve even lost them, all cause you’ve convinced yourself that you’re gonna lose anyway
This entire idea is based on a false premise that you somehow hold any political power AFTER voting.
You do though - and you have less power again if you let fascists come in and take away even that. Your defeatism is pure stupidity.
Project 2025 was just the latest iteration whereby they redrafted their schemes.
This was all outlined back in 1971 at the Business Roundtable that made the long game to overthrow the republic in all but name that has led us here.
Huh so that’s WTF happened in 1971
Would you mind sourcing a link or giving me some good search keywords? Our tech overlords are making searching for this not a lot of fun.
I think they are referring to the Powell Memo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_F._Powell_Jr.#Powell_Memorandum_(1971)
This video connects some more of the dots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgYkde3o2Xw
The only political thing in that regard I remember is the Citizens’ Commission to Investigate the FBI. The business roundtable was created 1972 so maybe they are referring to a previous organization? However the Business roundtable has a wikipedia entry that’s already grim
Since 2021 I can’t find all sorts of articles I had previously. Even with the publication, date of publication, name of title, and author name, in articles I effortlessly found prior to 2021. I feel like I am the only one angry about all of this sometimes.
I learned a lot from the guys on collapse on the big social media group reddick there. I can try to find a link but idk about the details I had writing on it saved on my old laptop that froze up on me.
I can’t find anything either, except a facebook post that might mention it but I am not on facebook as such and it’s not a good source. That is the only hit on the search that even pretended to find what I was looking for, the rest are purposefully not what I searched for.
I know it can work better, because it did work better. Anyway I will reply again if I find something, but if on reddick try the collapse sub and sound them out on it on an economic type post and they will give you more links that you could read.
Thanks for the pointers.
Yeah, I am infinitely frustrated by the enshitification of search on all platforms. There are some awesome videos that I can no longer find on Youtube, scientific publications that are super difficult to find now. Oddly, the CIA government site’s search still works great for declassified documents.
“But he said he didnt know about/disavowed Project 2025… how can he be following it so closely?!” - Typical conservative voter, who will absolutely, despite their outrage, vote again on an illegal third term
That’s why they destroy education. That’s why they like the small-minded people. And that’s why they like AI so much. They need something to do the thinking for them, but they can’t afford it to be people…
Wait until they find out AI doesn’t do any thinking and just regurgitates what it was trained on…oh hey yeah they’re gonna love it!
Trump: I love the poorly educated!
And the poorly educated love him back
Because he tells them that their racism, bigotry and stupidity make them better than the people they are afraid of
Their betters.
But the known liar told us he knew nothing about Project 2025. Why wouldn’t we believe him?
Really sucks that the us right wing has no opposition to speak of
Well that’s what we are trying to change with these progressive candidates coming through into the midterms :)
people really still fall for this 🥲
i mean there may be some merit, because the DNC is fighting these progressives far harder then the ever fought the republicans or trump. even after they already won.
Then your concern is not unique to the USA
It definitely isn’t 😔
Sure they do, there’s the slightly more and slightly less right wing.
Don’t worry, they have the center right wing to keep them in check.
the good news is that none of this seems to matter at all somehow. people carry on with their lifes as if nothing bad is happening. what the actual fuck.
Same with COVID. Millions dead and no one gives a fuck except to unjustly accuse Fauci
At least we have conversations now akin to “Remember how much better life was during COVID?”
Who the fuck says that. I had to support my whole family with no daycare. I will destroy whoever says that.
Empire rise, empire fall
What comes next?
Socialism or barbarism.
yah just avoid all the food that give you ecoli…
And cyclospora.
