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.
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.
I really think this is all the result of putting news behind a paywall, while lies and propaganda are widely and freely disseminated.
We’re fucked.
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.
People can barely keep it together to read a paragraph long comment nowadays, let alone go out of their way to download a 900 page document explaining each and everyway they’re about to get fucked.
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.
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.
Let’s send them to El Salvador accidentally, I hear they don’t allow take backsies.
You’re already quitting before the game is even up. Stop being a fucking coward.
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.)
We’d really like it if you guys did something about this.
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.
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.
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.
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
They’ve told us what they’re going to (and want to) do every step of the way.
But Trump fans pretend stuff isn’t going to happen… even when it’s literally happening
On top of that, Trump is 100% going to try to stay for another term
I do not promote violence. You should not commit violence. It is generally not worth it. Mmkay? Want that to be 100% clear. Additionally, violence is what Trump wants so he has an excuse to declare martial law/suspend elections/etc. It’s very obvious. Violence = bad.
All that said, unless America lets itself descend into the authoritarian pit, I don’t see any way out that won’t involve violence at some point/level. We are beyond what was happening during the civil rights era. These people aren’t interested in compromise and working together. They want to dismantle America’s culture of diversity to replace it with their own.
I’m not sure there are any other methods that work if it comes down to it. Even people on the left are in denial; these people aren’t joking about wanting to attack libs. They’re actively preparing for it by calling all libs mentally ill, or that liberalism is a disease, etc.
Do you see what I’m saying? How are you going to try to argue with some of these people? Not all republicans are all in on this - but there’s enough in power that this is very, very dangerous
All I can say is that I truly hope the courts enforce the constitution. Bring those people back and give them due process. I don’t want them deported, but if that ends up happening, at least it’s legal &… I struggle to say humane.
Run liberals as GOP candidates. Then vote Republican. But vote for liberals.
The Almighty Dollar, look how it enslaves us. Can’t stop paying rent, or bills. Can’t bow out in protest. Need to get money, need to get food. Have to keep the machine spinning, even as we turn rapidly towards our graves. We are incapable of thinking more than a day ahead. No one has stopped to ask what this time next year will look like at this pace.
The unions will have to lead the way in any kind of national strike anyways and they havent moved yet
Because the union leaders have been bought by Trump. They don’t need to lead anytjhing. Saying, this person needs to lead, or this thing needs to happen. Is just putting the responsibility onto others while you feign powerlessness. Not me, I’m not responsible for this, I didn’t ask for this…
How many people have asked why nobody stopped the Nazi’s when they started disappearing people? Diffusion of responsibility is why. You can always find a reason why you don’t need to and then you can assuade any guilt through the technology your corporate masters have given you. Just keep pretending, pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.
