I'm so fucking done with this country man, people make me so tired of living. I'm so disappointed, and the amount of lives this orange fuck is going to destroy is so immense it's just so depressing. and I hate living in a red state surrounded by idiots who genuinely think this is a good idea, and think I shouldn't even have basic rights.
Bad news
Trump is amplifying the rhetoric overseas too
So, he's also ruining other countries too

Part of me wants average people to realize the Republican leadership isn't on their side. The other part of me realizes once normal people take notice, it will be too late.

You had to live inside your own asshole to not know this was always the plan
Which is a grave offense with this new regime, because that means you’re gay with yourself.

Can’t wait for every one of you fucks to realize what you’ve done voting for that scum. We’re all fucked.
They'll find some way to blame Dems for anything that becomes too unpopular, and their base will willingly buy into it to avoid responsibility - until something bites them personally. It'll take far too long for it to affect enough of them personally to save the rest of us with some semblance of rationality, though.
they will not realize anything. they don't believe what any of the news outlets say. we have been saying this for 8 years.

My mom, who voted tRump and is on public assistance, is gonna be very sad and not understand why.
Don't worry she'll find a way to blame Obama
They’ll blame Barack Harris for the crumbling of the US while the republicans dismantle it actively in front of them, while they point at the democrats for letting it happen.
Barack Obiden Harris is about to have a lot of things blamed on him/her

Once she gets her benefits slashed be sure to talk about how great the Republicans are and isn't she glad she got what she wanted with her vote? Thank goodness trump got rid of that pesky public assistance, that was costing the rich real money.
I plan on reminding every family member, at every opportunity, when they complain about some benefit they've lost, "tough shit, you specifically voted for this"
"but he's hurting the wrong people, tell him that, he must not know it!"

Anyone who thought different, who thought "Project 2025" was off the table because Trump said so!: You are idiots who should not be allowed to touch anyhing that could break, and you better not breed.

I wish Biden has the balls to label them as traitors and use his SC approved powers to jail them for treason.

Did anyone ACTUALLY believe they didn't?
Sadly yes, I told many people about it and they all said "Trump's not going for it, he rejected it, that's just fear mongering"
Bastards

I've been listening to interviews and most people think Trump won't do what he says he will, much less something that he says he won't. It's unbelievable.

One of my family members actually said that they wouldn't vote for P25. I told them it was a platform, not an item on a ballot... confused looks.

But the flyer I got attached to my door said Trump totally disavowed it! Would a flyer attached to my door lie?
Is this news? They presented their plan to destroy America, and are going to implement it. What did people expect?
When someone tells you they are a fascist, believe them the first time.

Don't forget: replacing nonpartisan government experts with Trump appointees, defending and reclassifying public media and banning pornography.
May the ones responsible suffer the consequences of their actions.
For the very unfortunate people becoming collateral damage, aka the remainder of the human population, may fate look mercifully upon us.

There are trends - this video explains it well. Trump will reshape America, he will cement power and make sure it's much easier for MAGA to succeed in future (making it easy, rigging the system, for them to be re-elected).
You are entering a new authoritarian regime in the USA.
Many folks voted Trump because they don't trust politicians, they don't trust Democracy, and now they get what they want - Democracy takes the biggest hit in history - and it's not because of Trump, it's a worldwide trend - there have been no new Democracies for a good many years already.
Project 2025 (which Trump laughably kept saying 'I never heard of it, I never read it' - he's laughing his tits off, he loves the lower class working Americans, he loves Americans with low education... because they just signed him into power thinking he gives a toss about them - he doesn't.
He hates them, he hates women, he's racist, misogynistic, a criminal and a liar.
Project 2025 is a right wing manifesto - opposing abortion and reproductive rights, even outlawing FDA approved safe drugs used in medical abortion... reviving 19th century extreme right wing laws.
Also opposing LGBTQ rights, opposing immigrants' rights, a racial manual for reorganising the entire federal government to serve a right wing agenda.
You will see now mass raids, deportations, an end to birthright citizenship, breaking up families and dismantling asylum.
Trump will also work to bring in power of warrantless surveillance - to be exploited to spy on Americans and their data... radically expanding executive power and making a mockery of American's idea of having freedom.
Trump will also use executive authority to limit First Amendment freedoms, he will have power to mute the press, also damaging fair replresentation in the voting process (he said - you won't have to vote again, with a wry grin on his face).
Watching Trump you can see he's TELLING YOU what he plans to do, laughing at you for being stupid, because he knows you don't take it seriously.
Basically, it's the fascist's playbook - and you voted this POS into power.
In response to another post about Project 2025
Congratulations nzmaa, you won. You're going to live in my mind 24/7 for the next four years.
We all knew this as did everyone who voted him in. When you look at your neighbours never forget who they are.
They know they can't win if people know who they are and what they want. Maybe this will teach a small fraction of their supporters who they really are.

I’m not sure I understand why they’re getting rid of the department of education? Why not change it? Why get rid of it entirely.
If someone could ELI5 that shit, I’d be grateful.
getting rid of it means they can redirect funds to private schools which indoctrinate kids into being conservatives
Also wage slaves don't need education that might make them strive for a life better than creating excess value for their owners.

I didn't see this in the other replies: they genuinely don't believe in government.
Yarvin, Thiel, Musk, Trump all believe the country is best run as a business. By which they mean they can fire you from the country and you have to leave if they don't like you. It also means that if you make a bad decision and destroy the country because you want to you should be allowed to. However they also believe that because they are rich and powerful it stands to reason, ipso facto, that they got there because they are good at their jobs, therefore it follows any decisions they make are good decisions and thus are the right ones. Those who disagree or would have made different decisions are wrong and bad at their jobs because they are not the president and the president is correct because he's the president.

It all makes sense when you realize they have no intention to actually run the country in good faith. They intend to do two things, plunder everything they can, and irreparably destroy the country's future to get revenge for having the audacity to try to move forward.
