Meanwhile the newspapers: "FACT CHECK: It is incorrect to associate project 2025 with the Trump campaign" 🙄

Rules:
- 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.

I find this “retribution” thing very quaint…
“Retribution” for being held to the same standards as the rest of us. “Retribution” for being punished for violating the rules we’re all under. “Retribution” for being called to account for acting like awful people.
There is nothing that has been done to them that does not stem from their own, poor behavior—a completely self-fixable concern.
It's projection. They do witch hunts against others, so naturally they assume any investigation of them is a witch hunt.
Our only hope is if Project 2025 ends up not being implemented in full because of its one fatal flaw: Donald Trump didn't think of it first. He might ignore parts of it out of spite, just to make sure the Heritage Foundation understands that it is not President.
Yeah, I also suspect he may be dumb enough to do something like dissolve the IRS. Which would more or less destroy all forms of federal governmental power both soft and hard. Its something rhe sovcits have wanted for decades and I would not be surprised in the least if he got convinced by one.

Trump is really bad at following through.
Other than the millions of deaths and the bad economy, which are weirdly short-term things, what did he actually accomplish first term aside from fucking up the judiciary? And even that was really more of a McConnel accomplishment from the Obama era.
Didn't he implement something like 2/3rds of the Heritage Foundation's policy proposals in his first term?
MAGAS are incapable of associating anything bad with their dear leader. Hold them accountable.
You can't hold someone accountable if they don't think they did anything wrong. They firmly believe they're in the right, and will never believe Trump can or will do anything wrong. Anything bad that comes out of his administration, they'll just say it was Biden's fault. Kinda like how some Republicans supporters thought Obama was president during 9/11.
Right. The cons and the Republican Party are pathological liars. The "liberal media" would do well to remember that and be sure to point it out as often as possible instead of playing their bullshit bothsiderist game.
The problem is this leopard is going to eat all of our faces...
They won't be able to implement half of it just due to the bureaucracy of the system fighting against any kind of big change. The part they do manage to ram through will be damaging enough, though.
Do you know what Project 2025 is? Part of the plan involves removing the bureaucracy and replacing them with Trump loyalists and sycophants
That's if they replace them at all, as in many cases they will be eliminating regulatory agencies entirely.
I hope things like NPR can survive when their funds are finally cut entirely, as at this point the larger stations have enough donors to stay afloat. I hope.

They have control of all three branches of government. No checks. No balances.
