I’ve never seen something as unhinged as Project 2025. I mean it, it sounds like a shitty “evil plan” cooked on 4chan, but it’s fucking real. Insane.

It’s not just real it’s their actual political strategy. This isn’t fringe shit, this is what they will do when they take office.

4chan has several porn and LGBT boards. this is on conservatism.
Conservatives consume tons of porn. They just feel guilt about it afterwards.
It's like one of those idiots came up with this stupid idea and now none of the other morons can call this out because they would have to admit that they are watching porn.
Like the emperor's new clothes but in politics.
They feel guilty about it and lash out on other people to make themselves feel better about it.

If we're talking about American politics in our lifetime, yeah this is tops. But it's not history's craziest politics by a long shot
Hear that everyone, it could be worse
Thanks for the enlightening framing. When they’re rounding up people they don’t like we should tell them it’s ok, it’s been worse
Nobody fucking cares. This isn’t some academic exercise to rank crazy times. This is the very real political strategy of a party about to take power in the US. This view from nowhere shit is so exhausting.
You mistake me: I think it's so bad people should leave if they can, or revolt en masse. I just also like talking about history.

Project 2025 wants to:
- Outlaw pornography
- Outlaw abortion
- Outlaw homosexuality
- Eliminate all major checks on presidential power. Say goodbye to the system of checks and balances
- Replace many federal workers with those who are loyal only to the president
www.defeatproject2025.org breaks it down by topic, also highly suggest John Oliver's segment on it
Well, they've already made progress on point 4
And two
And one! Texas and shit taking first steps by requiring state id verification.
That’s how they do things, just enough to get the foot in the door, move the goalposts and repeat
Dictatorship ftw
Delete terms that deprive of first amendment rights.
Bit of an oxymoron isn't it?
For fascists, freedom of speech equals saying slurs.
Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.
In this case, the law being freedom of speech, the protection being to say what they want and the binding being to prohibit others from curtailing that. Naturally, the push for inclusive language is part of a movement to curtail that freedom and needs to be reversed and pushed back against.
Without the oxy
That's called doublespeak
No because every conservative either doesn’t know about it or pretends it isn’t as bad as it is, which they rationalize by making sure not to look at it too closely.
"It only hurts the people I don't like" and "I would be exempt from this".
I have no idea why any immigrant or Hispanic would want this. He's directly targeting all of them. There are no exceptions, there's no points you get. This is his stated platform
Devout Christianity is a common reason. Specifically, the kind that believes abortion is murder and is the number 1 topic that can supersede all others. If one candidate vows to outlaw it and the other vows to protect it, the conservative Christian brainwashing machine gets these out-groups to vote against all of their interests to "protect babies".
Taxes is another I hear. People actually beleive Republicans are fiscally responsible and going to help these out-groups, many of whom are lower middle class, get ahead by reducing tax. Ignore the part where reducing everyone's taxes increases everyone's gains, increasing everyone's budget, and therefore not actually increasing anyone's purchasing power because the market will adjust sales price higher.
Obviously, this works on the majority demographics too. But they're closer to the in-group than who you asked about
I never thought the leopard would eat my face!
I have a gay friend that loves Trump, I tried to explain this to him but he got mad at me

Ok ok ok....the porn is going too far and we all know that you all will be the ones suffering..so you need to work on your blatant lies.. Your own president paid to sleep with a porn star for heaven's sake
He's not our president anymore! Yet!
I pray to you Jeebus, Buddha, Allah, Satan, Giant sketti monster....PLZ HALP. I mean your own as in the Republican party's president.. sorry for the funky wording teddy brosavelt
We are so fucked
Literally just yesterday I posted about it in my family’s political group chat and my older sister said, and I quote:
“even though I lean left, I'm actually glad that conservatives have a playbook! Why? because Trump's first term presidential transition (2017) was totally bungled... he needs a list of people that he can appoint from, so that these agencies don't just fall apart… Don't kid yourself, Biden's team and Obama's team and the democrats overall definitely have their own playbook and their list of potential appointees. They just don't have to crowdsource theirs!”
cue insane Charlie Kelly screams
Narrator: She did not actually lean left, but instead very far right.
She just likes weed.
my family’s political group chat
One member got upset that we were discussing politics in the family group chat so much in 2020 (read: we were bashing Donald Trump and his fucking idiocy too much) and insisted we move the conversation elsewhere
