Honestly, I gave it a shot. I got about 1 minute in, and him saying it was never endorse by trump is some naive nonsense. It's authored by a boatload of trumpkins, a bunch of people in his cabinet. "Independent think tanks" like the heritage foundation basically ran his last term. If you don't think he'll be influenced by it at all, you're honestly deluded.

It's also the fact that many people in his inner circle have even come out since the election results came out to say that they're going to enact it (Vance, Bannon and some others). Even if Trump tries to block it he'll l just randomly die in his sleep one night and then Vance and his creeps take over fully.

Again, assumptions with no basis. Fueled by fear propagated by mainstream media, which is being dominated by the dems. You have been scared into submission.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

One of the co-authors literally describes on hidden camera video that they're in close contact with the Trump team and will be heavily involved in the transition. What are you even talking about?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Okay, guess you'll find out then. I'm definitely glad that I'm just an observer from the EU if there's people over there that are straight up thinking nothing will happen and that it's all media nonsense. I do still feel bad for the innocent people that will get sweeped up in this but not people like you.

Would you eat your hat if you're wrong about this? This being the implementation of project 2025.

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

Yeah, but it's not going to be implemented. Again, democrat boogeyman to scare voters into submission to the democratic party. Y'all also said that Kamala was going to win. You created massive circlejerks on the internet to make it look like she had majority of the support, but outside of the screens, everyone knew she had no chance. You're doing the same thing with Project 2025.

Hope you're right, but I'm not holding my breath.

Dude I wanna live in your world where the dems dominate anything.

The notion that Trump knows nothing about Project 2025 has notably aged like milk:

https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/trump-brendan-carr-federal-communications-commission-rcna180567

"Trump picks Brendan Carr to lead the Federal Communications Commission

Carr, the top Republican on the commission, wrote Project 2025's chapter on the FCC."

It'd be fucking hilarious if it weren't so depressing. Trump said he doesn't endorse p2025, like we can actually take his word for it. I genuinely don't know how people take him seriously, with him unable to tell the difference between his own lies and reality.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

One thing you CAN count on... when he says he never read it? Yeah, that's true. It's 900+ pages, naturally he never read it...

You're supposed to watch the whole thing. Not one minute. What you said is basically an assumption with no basis. Plus, Trump has his own set of plans called Agenda 47. No one cares about Project 2025. It's basically the democrat boogeyman, and the democratic party uses it to intimidate you into supporting them, and it works. The left has literally lost its mind over it. So much so that a father committed a murder-suicide against his own family because of this fear.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You can't simply call it a Democrat boogeyman when it's universally supported (and in some cases even authored) by the people that are most likely going to be in Trumps government. That's the same as saying that it's fine to have Hitler in charge of defense as long as the president is (initially) distancing himself from it.

If anything, I'd be worried about it even more if I was such a big Trump fan as you. What if the people that do support project 2025 make sure Trump dies shortly after becoming president just so they can fully take over? Have you thought about that?

[–] Shiggles 13 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I support free speech, but man do people like you make it tough.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Did you miss the news? It worked, he won. You can leave the propaganda mill and go home now, komrade.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I wish I was naive as you. You probably also believe democrats are raging communists hell bent on destroying America.

Grow up.

What are you so mad about? Lmao.

Here's a real video for you.

In the immortal words of George carlin: "it's a big club and you ain't in it"

You still haven't told me what you're mad about.

And about that video you're referencing: I'm assuming that by referencing it, you're likening the Republican party or Trump to the Nazis? If so, you should know that the Nazis aren't really the core idea in the video, but an example. The real message is about the division of society by turning groups of people against each other. By creating such chaos among the people, democracy falls apart. The film urges us to see through divisive rhetoric, manipulation, embrace unity, and protect human rights. It also shows us that those who embrace bigotry and fascism are threats to democracy.

Using this video to liken the example used in it to the Republican party or Trump is a biased take. You would be assuming that the democratic party has not taken part in any divisive tactics, manipulation, or bigotry in America whatsoever. Both parties are unfortunately guilty of doing such things.

Now you're mad lmao
