Yeah, no shit. The “liberal media” could have done a much better job of telling everyone about that BEFORE the election.

The problem is a what to actually do. Congress and the courts are controlled by people who largely agree with Project 2025. Most of the American public has no clue that it’s a real thing, and thinks it’s so out there that anybody telling them about it is on LSD and not credible.

You mean to tell me, that in America. Where you can legally acquire, a genuine, US Army certified Rocket-Propelled Grenade from a gun show in Vegas for cash… you guys can’t think of what to actually do?

Zoinks Scoob, I think I’m getting a clue.

I stand on my own and fire a weapon is pretty useless. To actually succeed, I need a lot more people on my side. Enough that we could probably impeach and remove those responsible for this mess.

The vast majority of the people who would actually fight on the right side of history have been thoroughly pacified by the rhetoric that using a weapon would be unacceptably barbaric, and that if you can’t make the change you want with words, you’re just not finding the right words. We’ll be holding quippy signs and chanting about justice even as the country literally crumbles around us.

Stop going to work. Everyone. Stop paying your bills and taxes. Everyone. Collapse the economy from the inside. If even only those that voted against the regime did, it would make a massive difference to so many businesses large and small. Hit em I the money. That and aggression are all they understand. Doing little to nothing isn’t gonna work out for anyone.

Hiw are people in denial about a publicly available document? Denying it is like denying that JK Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books. It’s not a secret, it’s public information

I pretty commonly hear:

  • Trump disavowed it
  • nobody would be that bad
  • you’ve been brainwashed by the media.

When this madness is over, the next administration should outlaw the Heritage Foundation somehow. They clearly have proven to be actively working against the interests of the American people.

Dictatorships always end badly. But it can take decades.

In the case of the US, the closest analog - the Third Reich - lasted 12 years. I’m hoping the American Reich won’t last nearly as long but I’m bracing for about a decade.

Not just Heritage. There’s so many of them it’s hard to keep track. Sourcewatch.org tries to. But you can definitely start with the cosigners of Project 2025 and all the companies (especially media companies) that those people are on the boards of. (I think that should catch things like Rumble, Daily Wire, Victory Network, etc.)

That’s part of why I’m just losing my fucking mind that everyone’s like “omg wow I’m shocked idk what is gonna happen next”, and the breathless shock that legacy media has about fucking everything that’s happening now.

There is a fucking playbook, you fucking imbeciles. It was published over five fucking years ago. It’s just up there on a website whose url is the same as the fucking title of the playbook. They said they’d follow the playbook. They’re following the fucking playbook. They will continue to follow the fucking playbook. You’re not fucking allowed to be surprised by this.

Summaries are a thing that exist.

Or, more specifically: why did legacy media largely ignore the fact that P25 existed for like four and a half years? It only started getting covered every once in a while months before the election, and the vast majority of coverage was along the lines of “well orangeboi says he has nothing to do with it and has no idea what it is, and we are too fucking lazy to do any real, incisive journalism to nail him to the wall on that”.

Yeah I summarized it for people and told people about it and they didn’t care. The problem is indifferent voters that think America is inherently a democratic nation. This government is corruptible just like any other.

I really think this is all the result of putting news behind a paywall, while lies and propaganda are widely and freely disseminated.

It’s absurd, because getting around paywalls is CRAZY easy, but it’s also shockingly common for people to have no idea how to do it.

Ah yes, but you forgot when, during the campaign, Trump said “Fake news! I don’t know anything about Project 2025” which then allowed all the press to ignore it.

This changes everything life hack: Whenever you’re caught in a lie, just say “fake news” and go on as if nothing has happened. Works for rape, bribery, theft, corruption and some say even murder.

Yeah it’s one thing for regular people to do this, but I think media just keeps digging and it’s beyond repulsive. They would rather do anything but journalism and in this case journalism means sitting for 2 days reading in the comfort of your home… There’s always been a debate between whether it’s purposeful or lazy and I think I’ve gravitated towards lazy on the part of hosts and writers and purposeful on the part of decision makers that they’d hire people so opposed to work in the first place. Mehdi researched heavily and was removed… it seemed like executives fixing the glitch of accidental good journalism.

  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.
