The thing that pisses me off the most about Project 2025 is that there’s no Project 2029 from the left.
The left shouldn’t wait. It should have started years ago.
Project 2025 didn’t start yesterday. https://web.archive.org/web/20230920110555/https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/20/us/politics/republican-president-2024-heritage-foundation.html
It didn’t even start in 2023. That’s the culmination of years of planning.
GUERILLA WARFARE AND SPECIAL FORCES OPERATIONS: FM 31-21 https://a.co/d/0eNL71EZ
Clicks on link thinking it’s a Rick Roll
Pleasantly surpised it’s a genuine US Army Manual on Guerilla Warfare and Special Forces
I heard everyone gets free donuts for life
Even the right wingers are pretending like it’s nothing.
Not even arguing
What a bunch of idiots. A group funded by their politicians that frequently provides them with “model” legislation now has a manifesto regarding how to overthrow democracy and we’re supposed to believe it’s no big deal.
Sadly my Right Wing friends insist it’s “Just the Heritage Foundation” and that the “REAL” GOP already rejects it
So naive…
I heard an NPR listening, CNN watching person tell me yesterday that the Heritage Foundation was conservative extremists and not to take them seriously.
No conservative voter thinks poorly of Project 2025. Every conservative in the U.S. is either fine with it or excited about it.
A conservative who pretends it’s not their platform is lying, either to placate you or to save face.
Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation, even when those words come from friends or family.
Just learning what this is - and it honestly sets off my BS detector.
Seems like a great way to other people who support any kind if conservative position.
Not American though, so it’s hard to even tell if shit like this is real from the outside…
The Heritage Foundation is wild, and one of the most significant public policy groups with deep ties to American conservatism. Basically, any crazy policy that the Republican party has taken on as a major party plank in the past 50 years has a distressing high chance of having its roots in Heritage’s recommendations.
For example, in 1981:
Among the 2,000 Heritage policy recommendations, approximately 60% of them were implemented or initiated by the end of Reagan’s first year in office.
Our conservatives aren’t like conservatives elsewhere in the world. Our liberals are like your conservatives, policy wise.
Our conservatives are brainwashed by four decades of targeted conservative media that’s explicitly designed to keep them in an anger loop in order to create a political climate where republicans (who are the actual politicians) don’t have to appeal to the conservative base with actual policy.
Republicans, through channels like Fox News and OANN (seriously, go watch some of it and see what we’re dealing with here) have demonized everyone to the left of them so hard that entire generations of conservatives genuinely believe that there’s a bloody revolution coming.
It would be nice if it were actually bullshit, but these lunatics who make up half of our voting population put a con-man entertainer with zero political experience in the whitehouse for four years and installed conservative justices to our highest court who are systematically dismantling our democracy.
It’s very real. It’s so real that some of the less insane conservatives are waking up to how dangerous the details of this plan actually are, and that’s why Republicans are panicking about this.
