If he is elected, they won’t keep trying to pretend that they are against these positions.

Project 2025 has been around for years. How have people not noticed it?

[–] [email protected] 38 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Because on its surface it sounds like something the magas would make up.

Because republican voters don’t pay attention to what their party is doing. They only know that trans bad, brown bad, gay bad

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

That's actually quite right. Google single issue voter

[–] [email protected] 29 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Or many republican voters do know about project 2025 and they like it.

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 months ago (4 children)

There’s some of those, sure, but this shit like banning contraceptives, banning no fault divorce, attacking Medicare and social security-these are universally unpopular policies. That’s why trump is trying to pretend his campaign didn’t literally write this shit.

The conversations I’ve had in the Deep South with Republicans always boil down to: they have no idea.

I have found that the best way to argue with republicans is to tell them directly what they’re actually voting for, because they don’t know. They’re either dumb as shit, or they’re greedy and think democrats will raise taxes.

The positions that a lot of the trump supporters take up are whatever they all mutually agree are their positions, and/or whatever they are told is their position du jour… in other words, today they may say that they are pro one thing and con a different thing, but their loyalty is to the party, not to the merits of the positions they espouse.

The moment they were told that they no longer feared and hated Russia, they started saying “you know that Putin guy isn’t so bad after all”, as if the Cold War never happened, as if their perceived greatest enemy for the last 50 years wasn’t Russia and communism.

A lot of them hated Jews too until they were told that their side supports Israel.

It’s straight out of 1984… “We were always at war with Eastasia.”

They will easily adopt the project 2025 positions if that’s what their god emperor tells them to do.

I wish i could talk to some. The few i know are work friends so i don't want to go there with them. In the very few conversations we've had they try to talk about the economy/stock market.

"trump world" sounds like the most disappointing and predatory theme park ever.

the sequel to bush gardens

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Bush Gardens was/is awesome, how dare you 😂

For Drumpf, it’s more of a sequel to Action Park (NJ)

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

You know he considered investing in Action Park but decided the vision for the park was too risky, right?

Like that place was such a horrifying deathtrap that Trump's conscience kept him from getting in on it. That's a fucking low bar.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Not conscience, profitability.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

ROFL for Trump to not invest… that’s not a low bar. The bar is buried and no shovel would help.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I want to get off Mr. Trump's wild ride!
