Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Summary

Following Donald Trump’s election victory, Republicans are now openly embracing Project 2025, a policy agenda from The Heritage Foundation that outlines sweeping conservative reforms.

Despite Trump’s attempts to distance himself from the project during his campaign due to its extreme proposals—including expanded executive powers, a national abortion ban, stricter contraception limits, harsh immigration policies, and the elimination of agencies like the Department of Education—his allies quickly began celebrating its implementation.

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and commentator Matt Walsh publicly affirmed the agenda, signaling the GOP's commitment to enacting these controversial policies in Trump’s second term.

Did anyone ACTUALLY believe they didn't?

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Sadly yes, I told many people about it and they all said "Trump's not going for it, he rejected it, that's just fear mongering"

Bastards

Same I know first time Trump voters who believed him when he said he distanced himself from project 2025. I don't know why anyone would believe him when most of the shit he says is a lie. The only true things he's said are that he wants to be a dictator and punish his enemies.

Every person that said " they just want abortion rights to be up to the states," was either ignorant, or an idiot. Unfortunately it doesn't matter anymore, they fell into the I support fucking women's rights category.

I've been listening to interviews and most people think Trump won't do what he says he will, much less something that he says he won't. It's unbelievable.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Trump NEVER lies about what he wants to do. He always lies about his accomplishments.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Bs, he always lies. Him and Pence set out to destroy Roe v Wade, not because he wanted to, but because he thought it would get him a base of people who will not change their mind no matter how many people it hurts. He wants followers that will stab their family members to death to support his cause, which he doesn't support, he just needs blind loyalty.

Trump I guarantee you wanted abortion legal for his life, the guy frolicked around children beauty shows and flaunted it as if it was good. Epstein ties up the wazoo. Grab them by the pussy, they don't mind. He wants immigrants to be able to come here, or his wife or his new friend Musk who defined himself as an illegal recently wouldn't be here. It is fascism to the core. It's shut the fuck up and do what I say and nothing else, even if you don't agree and people you care about get hurt.

Quite frankly, it's terrorism by definition.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Any conservative issues that are motivated primarily by religion, such as abortion, Trump doesn't give a fuck about. He'll just sign whatever they put in front of him. Things stemming primarily from racism or misogyny, though, he's all for.

Look at all of the dumb fucking liberals on Lemmy huffing copium.

The Republic has fallen, and the liberals won't even try to stop it. At least the fucking Roman Senate killed Caesar.

a) wind up on a list

b) don't wind up on a list

I'm not saying anyone should be killed, but I do believe saying such would get you put on a list in this country moving forward. I can tell you what list it is too. They will label it ANTIFA, and they already listed that group as terrorists. It isn't hard to understand why people in a country riddled with threats wouldn't speak out publicly in at such a time

On a side note to get ahead of flack, yes I know that was a group in Germany that opposed fhe NAZI party. There were no official groups in the U.S., but still it managed to wind up on our terrorist list after Trump's wild accusations about January 6th, who he now claims are the opposite. His fans... Who he supposedly wants to pardon. Not mentioning that they did every illegal act they were convicted of.

One of my family members actually said that they wouldn't vote for P25. I told them it was a platform, not an item on a ballot... confused looks.

"it's like 'the gay agenda'"

Yes, my MAGA family members bought Trump's line of "I don't know who is involved in that".

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago

They are not only lying to you, they are lying to themselves.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Factcheck and similar ones always claimed that Trump supporting project 2025 was Fake or needs context

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I have a feeling someone paid good money for Snopes and similar sites. Or have some kompromat on rheir editors.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

It's because he maintained plausible deniability, no bribes or kompromat necessary. Fact checkers couldn't definitively say he supported project 25 because he feigned ignorance.
