I'm ignorant because I'm getting old. I also feed the capitalist machine by working too much. What is project 2025?

Yes I could look it up, but I want to hear it from people not fucking biased shit bags.

maga-oriented platform/agenda structured toward replacing existing checks and balances in government with ideological extremism, using violent force against political opponents, using minorities such as people of color, immigrants, and the trans community as a to-be-feared “other” as justification. literally mask-off fascism, in other words.

if you have time to kill, this creator does an excellent job of providing a leveled and cogent explanation. it’s quite depressing though so don’t watch if youve had a bad one. :)

edit: oops wrong link

I was just thinking today that this will never go away. I then realized that this ideologic poison has existed far longer than I have, and will sadly exist much longer than I will. I'm not sure what to do with that other than always stand up when I can, do what I can, and hope for the best. We have great potential.

It devolves into a monarchy, it's the exact thing this country was founded to protect against. Some asshole and his buddies, sorry ladies they don't let you in the GOB club, will rule over everyone with the backing of the army and there won't be anything any of us can do about it. Vote while you can.

Trump is the fascism vaccine: He is the figurehead for malevolent forces that have been at work for many many years in the twisty tunnels underneath City America, and are now strong enough to come up onto the regular streets -- but he comes in weakened form. He's enough of a neutered fool to give the system time to learn to recognize the danger, and react accordingly in the future when it comes about for real. If it had been anyone else on January 6th, with competent, prepared execution that any adult who'd spent his career surviving in politics would have done, then all the people in the federal government who'd tried to stand in his way would already be in prison, and US-hosted Lemmy instances would already be required by law to interface with the software that monitored for unpatriotic postings and users. Also Gaza would, I think, be a massive graveyard, a haunting, mostly-empty place that most of the world tried not to think about.

I am 0% joking or exaggerating about any of that. It doesn't mean that Project 2025 is safe by any means, but this is actually the safest possible means and details by which it could come to us, and if we can't deal with this version, then that's on us.

Unfortunately there are a lot of people pissed at our current immune system, complaining that it's too old and weak to meet the standard of perfection they demand immediately. So instead of trying to keep it alive and build a strengthened immune system over time, they're planning to just let the patient die, despite knowing how that would make their lives many times worse. It's up to the rest of us to keep the patient alive and work to improve its health, in spite of them.
