Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

what’s the point of this article? why should i read it when we’ve all known Trump lied about Project 2025 and who was behind it? and that he was loading his staff with the authors and true believers?

this is all such bullshit. across the board.

I think part of the point is demonstrating that it's proven at this point in time. In future historical context, it may be helpful to show what people knew or could have known, depending on their news sources.

[–] deadkennedy@lemm.ee 16 points 1 month ago

this is a very good point.

Right. Re-election, the MAGAs dismissed the P25 warnings as liberal nonsense, and now there is proof that the MAGAs were lying, stupid, or both.

When I was canvassing during the election, people would tell me that Project 2025 didn't matter because Trump disavowed it. This is for people like you to show people who believed that.

[–] zurchpet@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They'll just answer to that with a sincere "I don't care."

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago

Or that Project 2025 is a positive direction for America.

[–] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This is what media outlets do during fascism. Repeat the obvious. They can't think of anything else.

This 2025 thing, are the contents of it public? Is it just more fascism all the way down, or are there some curveballs in there?

Signed european that has heard of it but don't know any of its content.

It's Christofascism. They published it way before the election, it was available as a free PDF for anyone to download and read, but where they really tricked us is they made it nearly 900 pages. The volume of it, coupled with the long-term assault on our education system which has produced a USA that reads at something like a 6th grade reading level as far as average adults go, and further enfuckened by our insanely short attention spans, means most of the people that voted in the Project 2025 administration had no idea what it contained.

Someone else already linked it, so I wont duplicate that, i just wanted to add some extra context around how we US Americans had literally every chance to learn what these fuckheads intended to do. But our collective ability to make informed decisions has been undermined by a concerted effort from the right to make us dumb as rocks.

Its a very detailed plan for the Trump administration to follow to implement their vision of fascism. And yes, it is public

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

That's actually a fuck ton. You don't have to be part of that group to believe in them or do what they say ("interests align teehee" stuff) so that high of a percentage is really fucking high.

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

So a deep state shadow government?

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 5 points 1 month ago

That whole organization is a treasonous hate group.
