  1. Project 2025 is exactly why the Democratic Party needs a better presidential candidate. Putting such a significant election in the hands of a cognitively impaired 81 year old and a VP who isn’t even very popular among democrats is idiotic and will very likely come back to haunt us

  3. I’m pretty sure CNN pissed everybody off with that total embarrassment.

    No more debates on CNN… They’re not capable of handling the production requirements. They blew their chance.

    They were clearly producing a theatrical fiction show during the after debate analysis, so their credibility is totally gone. The show was factually identical to Russian propaganda… I’ve seen that move before so they’re totally busted… Either they intended to produce propaganda or something went horribly wrong on the production side and people absolutely need to be fired over that, if that is what factually occurred.

    So, there’s nobody there on the production side thinking about what they are broadcasting looks like to other people? That was the most disgusting thing ever broadcast on cable TV by a mile… edit: as far as news media goes. /edit

  5. Alright this article links to a thread which actually has the primary points laid out in a readable form. I’ll summarize it here because its got an incredibly great point, but it’s written like shit.

    Basically, the guy is saying that Project 2025 will launch a very real post-truth era. Right now, FBI crime statistics are pretty damned reliable. A largely independent group of career government workers put it together. It doesn’t matter to them whether they show crime going up or crime going down; they keep their job either way. As such, we can be reasonably certain that crime, in fact, has gone down because FBI crime stats say so.

    But under Project 2025, many of those career government workers cease to be independent. Trump *can* fire and replace them if they produce a report showing crime going up under him. So, what’ll they likely do? They’ll fudge the numbers. And the same shit can happen with all the data that’s produced by independent governmental agencies. They could show national inflation decreasing, release false reports about average income, make up estimated war casualty numbers, falsify hurricane death tolls, invent global cooling, and disseminate reports of widespread voter fraud. Essentially, the government could become right wing news propaganda.

    Independent governmental agencies produce some of the most important and credible data points there are. We can’t really replace their level of objectivity and reliability in the private sector. If Trump wins, we very much could be looking at a scenario where *you cannot determine the truth*.

  6. What’s so ominous about a christo-fascist manifesto based on unitary executive theory? How bad could that possibly be am I right?

  7. I guess the left and right are now united in their hatred for CNN.

  8. LOL the cope is hard, no one will forget biden’s debate.

  9. For those who haven’t read Project 2025: it is appalling.

    Anyone who has listened to Steve Bannon rail against the administrative state understands the animating principle behind Project 2025, which is an extreme hatred of federal power that extends to the individual career public servants making up each agency/arm (who, by the way, are upstanding citizens ethically doing their jobs, often for lower pay than they’d get in the private sector).

    Project 2025 is a comprehensive plan to constrict the federal government. It would be unrecognizable if these plans are executed. Many thousands of career public servants will be unceremoniously fired, multiple agencies will likely cease to exist, and critical support for states in areas like education will simply no longer be there.

    It is not a set of rational proposals to scale back the power of the federal government. These are measures designed by ideologues who are hellbent on sticking it to the “deep state” in DC by weakening the federal government beyond recognition.

    They propose no meaningful ideas to offset the resulting damage to communities across America (which will disproportionately hit poorer, rural, red states) because their objective is not to actually improve the quality of American lives.

  10. Project 2025 is basically an attempt to transform the United States into Putin’s corrupt Russia.

  11. CNN did that? I thought they were leaning into being Fox News Light recently

  12. Remember, Trump tried to change a map from NOAA with a sharpie. 100% he’ll put nothing but yes men in every agency.

  13. JFK warned us about this. Giving so much power to these entities with no oversight was a bad idea. RFK jr is the only presidental candidate who speaks about this and has a plan to address it.

  14. It also weighs the groundwork for the end of free market capitalism in the United States. The only companies that will be allowed to do business will be subservant to the government. If a business is competing with another business that Has better connections with the government that business will face government persecution

  15. Maga is going to flame out in a violent, horrific fashion and not a moment too soon.

  16. The scariest thing here is that if this project fails it will be project 2029, 2033 and so forth until they win.

  17. I’ve brought the physical copy of Project 2025 with me to every campaign event this summer. Because I’m running for Congress in Georgia against a MAGA Republican, I have to spread the word about their plans to dismantle our democracy.

  18. I’ve been reading about the east India company and their treatment of India and the wider area. In the book (the anarchy by dalrymple) it talks about the US war of independence being in part a reaction to the possibility of the company starting operations in the country.

    It strikes me that the US is pretty close to being in the exact situation the fought against, in the grip of capitalist overlords with little to no care for the people of the country.

  19. Carl Jung defined this as “Transphysic Reality.”
    Basically, it means people start believing in their own bull shit.

    Like a guy named Adolph Hitler and his superior race agenda.

  20. maga is a cancer invading American democracy with an intent to make America a FASCIST STATE

  22. Project 2025 is the blueprint to turn democracy into a Christian Fascist state just like Gilead. They will push it so hard. This is not a joke.

  23. Newsweek and the Newrepublic love to give reddit what it wants. Lies about how badly the MAGA people are doing and reacting, when in reality they are winning this election.

    But hey, let’s not worry about that and keep circlejerking about what a bunch of losers they are with sensational headlines.

  25. “Ominous” Oh, grow a fucking backbone. If you have to fight for your freedom, so be it.

  27. I wonder if this it how it feel be a normal person when the dictators were talking over. Feeling dread worry and apathy that thing will get worse

  28. Fascists upset that plan to overthrow country written by them and released by them, revealed to country.
