This just seems like Project “Say the Quiet Things Out Loud”

I mean, it is a document for republican officials and the likes

They correctly assume their voters are not going to read it or won't care enough to think about the implications

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

For sure they won't, they'll be the ones most affected by it and they still vote Republican.

Think they'll blame the Democrats for the need to increase retirement age?

You would be correct… they know that the unwashed masses will not read the whole Project 2025, and won’t listen or believe that things like this, the short version are real… fake news and all.

And IF Trump said “Oh yeah I’m totally doing all of this…”

Most of his minions, would be like “oh that’s cool, as long as I’m not affected; but you can do that shit to them over there…”

The Handmaiden’s Tale wasn’t supposed to be a blue-print, guys. It was supposed to be a warning.

You know how tech bros will read Don't Build The Death Matrix and then try to build the Death Matrix? Right wingers see hyperconservative societies in fiction the same way.

It's so cartoonishly evil.

It's so absurdly evil you'd think there would be consequences for even suggesting it.

This entire shitshow should end the careers of any political operative who touched it, and should be hung around the GOP's collective neck like a rotting corpse so all know their unpatriotic, unamerican, undemocratic desires for all time.

It is so cartoonishly evil that a person with a sane mind would think it is a deliberate act to make sure any of these backwards ideas don't see the light of day separately by being bundled together for extra vileness multiplier as a rigid lesson, but alas we live in a society.

Because most of this worked out so well for Iran...

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Working out well isn’t the point, the point is to break America and destroy the leading adversary of Russia, China, and North Korea. He and the Republican Party are absolutely dancing to the tune of the financial benefactors and puppeteers.

It’s working for the right people. You’re looking at this too broadly, they don’t care about your feelings or best interests unless you are rich, white and in a possible position of power.

See you in prison, boys

With that pamphlet of fashism, Arctic drilling is quite low on my list of worries.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

This has to be some sort of joke to wind people up surely?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

Nearest I can tell it's like 4 billionaires and the Russians

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago
