Trump Disavowed Project 2025 During the Campaign. Not Anymore.
Trump Disavowed Project 2025 During the Campaign. Not Anymore.
President-elect Donald J. Trump has filled his administration with people who have ties to the right-wing manifesto.
To the shock of absolutely no one who has been paying attention.
And yet the New York Times refuses to use the words lie or liar.
Trump also disavowed:
Being racist
Wanting to overturn roe v wade Losing the election
Being weird
Knowing half the people that worked for him
Etc.See a pattern?
If you still don't or never did, you're a fucking idiot.
Only stupid people can be remotely surprised by any of this.

• EXERCISE IS GOOD

• CANCER CAN CAUSE DEATHI read the penultimate one as "EAT RIGHT FOR BETTER DEATH" at first 😄
Everyone knew he was lying. His voters just didn’t care.
His voters wouldn't even bother to read about project 2025 on the project 2025 website.
If they did, I'm sure they would have some objections. But then the Trump Translator part of their brain is engaged. "Surely he didn't mean it like that, what he really means is [something to decrease cognitive dissonance]"
Most of them are so dumb they think prices at the grocery store are literally set by the president, like Biden was sitting down signing off on the price of eggs going up rather than ever understanding a semblance of the corporatocracy we live in. And if prices change at the pump, or grocery store, etc, they’ll thank god emperor Trump for signing new prices into place, continuing the cycle of idiocracy.
No shit? You don't say.... For real?
I'm at this weird place where I sort of want Trump to do horrible things? It seems like it's the only way the public might snap out of it. I mean I would have thought his first term worked have been enough but here we are.
Ideally we could all count on the Dems to learn from this and be better next time... I just don't see that happening right now.
I'm there with you.
So you're an accelerationist
I just hope a redhat wearing nutjob decides now is the time for violence so I can kill one. I worked with a bunch and they are evil.
I've started reading it. ~880 pages. The first section delineates the boring things with sneaking incredibly non-republic based idea into every third sentence or so. Things that push the value of the executive while diminishing the value of anything else in the republic.
I'm on the second article. It is going to be the biggest grind of my life. I'm going to read it through once. And the second time I'm going to take notes.
So far its largest tool is how it uses

.... type arguments to hide monarchical and absolutist ideals smothering the republic. These types of arguments are common in online forums.
It is insidious. And it should be read but is going to be like the Xian bible ... never read but frequently quoted. They will just leave out the bad bits from their quotes until later when they will say, "It is all laid out in the document."
i'm grateful for your service!
No shit, you don't develop a 900 page plan, hire some of the very people who wrote it, author an introduction for a book by one of the authors, and then go "Naaah..."
And you losers aided him in lying the entire campaign. You and your loser cable news station buddies.
in today's news: lying scumbag has surprisingly lied
You mean he lied? Well I never.
Someone tell the other people
NYT paying their editors and authors obscene money to understand politics and this is what they come up with. And it is all intentional.
No no, you've got it backwards: NYT is paying competent people obscene amounts of money to be as willfully obtuse as humanly possible without too many readers catching on.
See their coverage of anything to do with cops, Israel, conservative Democrats (including but not limited to the entirety of the DNC leadership), and "moderate Republicans" (actually paleoconservatives made to look less extreme by literal fascists and anarcho-capitalists taking over).
They're not the "paper of record" because of the quality of their reporting as much as their popularity amongst the rich and powerful who decide what goes on the record.
Fucking duh
