Summary
Following Donald Trump’s election victory, Republicans are now openly embracing Project 2025, a policy agenda from The Heritage Foundation that outlines sweeping conservative reforms.
Despite Trump’s attempts to distance himself from the project during his campaign due to its extreme proposals—including expanded executive powers, a national abortion ban, stricter contraception limits, harsh immigration policies, and the elimination of agencies like the Department of Education—his allies quickly began celebrating its implementation.
Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and commentator Matt Walsh publicly affirmed the agenda, signaling the GOP’s commitment to enacting these controversial policies in Trump’s second term.
My mom, who voted tRump and is on public assistance, is gonna be very sad and not understand why.
Good. She sounds horrible
She is/was . She is the type of person to smoke with the windows up around her asmatic child and have 3 abortions and be desperate to vote for other woman to also not have that choice
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.
Nobody would ever fall for that… *Glances at Texas
They’re already doing it. More than half the United States’ voters this year just elected a man who lied about fumbling the pandemic, who lied about having the most secure border and the best economy, who lied about the insurrection he very clearly instigated, and has lied about his policies and political stances form day one (health care, abortion rights, you name it) and people are accepting, if not believing, what he’s saying. This is doublespeak right in front of our eyes. They’re lying right now, and they’ll lie later when they start attacking our basic human rights and start rounding up our friends and their political opponents. And we’ll accept it, if not believe it.
Barack Obiden Harris is about to have a lot of things blamed on him/her
to which they’ll even blame for that “him/her” pronoun they’ll use.
Haha I was honestly debating what to use there.
“but he’s hurting the wrong people, tell him that, he must not know it!”
"I accidentally got caught in the net, but I’ll make that sacrifice so more of the other gets caught.’
“the face-eating-leopards aren’t supposed to eat my face!”
Who’ve thought that a leopard would be a leopard and do leopard things?
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”
Time to find her bootstraps
If the leopards haven’t eaten her face already.
Either they run into the filibuster in the senate and it stops most of this, or we finally do away with the filibuster and when the democrats come in to clean up after 2/4 years of disaster, we don’t have the filibuster stopping all the good ideas the democrats are suppose to support.
it’s funny, you think there’s enough time.
clocks done, boy. the bell has rung, the match called, and the crowd is gone.
pack your bags and find somewhere else to hang up your hat.
we lost, so much.
None of it will matter because there won’t ever be another free and fair election again.
That’s some 5d chess right there
Rules (filibuster) for thee but not for me is the guiding principle of the right wing.
Dictators don’t typically take too kindly to filibusters.
Assuming the ditch the filibuster and implement 2025, there will be no more elections.
assuming they dont get rid of the filibuster, and then put it back on their way out if they manage to lose power again
There will be no “democrats come in”. I’ll be surprised if there is ever another election.
The only thing that could change this is the people making heads roll.
But we won’t.
There will definitely be another election. But it will be like the elections in Hungary and Russia. Meaningless window dressing.
There will still be elections – even Russia still holds elections. They just won’t be free or fair.
And they want to attack overtime and Social Security. Great fucking job, Americans!
Are we witnessing the extinction of mankind?
We were already witnessing that.
The hastening of it via increased climate change, yes.
Earth is already past the critical point tempurature… No matter how much we clean up now (which we won’t), the earth is already heading down the global warming path
Sure, but we could at least slow it down. Not happening now.
I’ve been watching since 2016, buddy.
The Americans are now really the leopards that are eating their faces in this moment.
The Miami zombie was simply ahead of his time.
Those silly Americans, as always.
I wish Biden has the balls to label them as traitors and use his SC approved powers to jail them for treason.
They’d be right back out on Jan. 20th. Have to do something more permanent.
Navy seals then.
This is probably more valid than some think. Trump and his cronies are a clear threat to the country and must be eliminated before the damage is done.
The problem being that the majority of voters want fascism. Defeating it requires more than just removing the leaders because more will just take their place.
I’m not so sure. I think these people genuinely do want to wriggle out of any sense of societal responsibility and want to ensure that there is an underclass ripe for extortion.
But I don’t think many of them would catch a bullet for those ideas.
Yea, secret voting can be a way to launder your responsibility, by contributing to make someone else responsible for what you want to do.
Trump’s lawyers argued successfully in front of SCOTUS that a president could assassinate their political opponent.
…As long as the courts decide it’s an “official act,” ending with the SCOTUS itself. Nothing Biden did would ever be deemed an official act by them.
What would he have to lose at this point?
He isn’t even candidate Biden, in this case, so it’s an official act. The law is so fucking bad.
I agree! But he’d never do it even if he knew for a fact there would be no consequences for him from it.
I sure won’t be holding my breath expecting him to, especially not after the speech he just gave.
I just looked up the gist of it. My reaction:
got a link for a non mercan?
Have to do something more permanent.
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.
The “admit” part is the news.
If I make plans for a holiday, put down deposits on hotels, and print an itinerary for my time abroad, it’d be a bit pointless to “admit” I was going on holiday.
Yeah, that’s how sane people operate. But we’re dealing with a different breed here.
What is Project 2025?
This election just proves that I made the right choice changing to Libertarian last year.
You’re a fucking idiot. Lol thanks for getting us trump
I voted for Harris. Thanks for assuming
I switched to the Libertarian party
I voted for Harris
Make up your mind or stfu and stop trying to bait people.
I’m not bating anyone. I’m a left leaning libertarian and there’s nothing wrong with voting for someone outside my party. You don’t have any right to tell me what not to say. It’s called freedom of speech
We’re not the government (which is what the free speech is all about). We can judge your opinions all we want.
That’s right it still I don’t appreciate the hostility. I didn’t vote for Trump or did I just not vote
Seriously just stop giving this person a hard time. They voted for what is right, at least. Whether they identify outside of that party, who cares? It’s not going to change (and in any case worked in your favor toward) the election outcome, which is what you are actually upset about.
Are you universal monk?
In deep red Indiana, more people voted for RFK, Jr. than Chase Oliver.
So few people, even in a deep red state, want what libertarians are selling that more people voted for a guy who dropped out of the race.
So if you mean that you made the right choice to never, ever get what you want, you most certainly did.
Okay well I don’t agree with those libertarians there are factions in our party esp with right leaning side as well. Idk what you want me to say
You don’t agree with which libertarians? The ones that chose your party’s candidate? Maybe you’re in the wrong party.
No I would have voted for Chase Oliver if he had any chance to get close to the White House. I’m saying I don’t agree with libertarians that voted for rfk but those are right leaning libertarians that total anti regulatory. I’m center left leaning libertarian
I’m center left leaning libertarian
Not if you wanted Chase Oliver to be the president, you’re not.
deleted by creator
Oh no, I’m sure you’re a libertarian.
I just don’t buy the left-leaning part considering Oliver’s platform.
Yeah. That’s the takeaway. 🙄
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.
It’s not like they’ve gone through any pains to hide it. Honestly, he stood on stage and shouted it at people. He said it directly to the press.
I’m not sure he could have tried any harder to tell them exactly what his plan was and who he is.
He didn’t win despite who he is; he won because of it. He won because his base is that awful.
And I will NEVER let them forget it.
I wish they had the shame to process it.
Have you seen none of the flyers/banners that popped up this election? The fact that he’s a felon is celebrated. The fact that he’s a rapist is celebrated. The fact that he openly speaks against overtime pay is celebrated. Fuck, even his divorces are celebrated. He could literally shoot someone in the face at a rally, and it would just boost his support.
He’s Homelander, but fat and without superpowers.
They don’t care to understand the details or the nuance. They don’t need to. The team they are cheering on has told them what to do and they enjoy obeying their masters.
People knew, they still voted for him.
There are some who have voted out of ignorance, and not malice. You’re right, but not in every case.
Willfully ignorant is almost more malicious than spite.
Yeah. I consider both types to be bad people, but it’s important to know the difference sometimes. I refuse to be reduced to inaccurate arguments just because we lost.
Willful ignorance. It takes a certain type to somehow ignore every red flag that is presented before them.
every red flag
And the bull horn, and the press releases and the public speeches.
They gave him a fucking mandate
You mean they didn’t write a 900 page manifesto for the lulz?
But Trump said he didn’t know anything about it! Are you saying he might’ve stated a mistruth?
My understanding is it was written by an individual or individuals, then passed around and got approval from other influential people before being declared the plan.
That’s how plans usually form, from what I understand.
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.
Maybe for a little while - until the department of education & a national abortion ban are completely wiped from society. All of us, not just the ones who made the right choice will suffer.
it’s been 8 years. disillusionment is not happening.
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.
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.
It’s already too late. It’s just a matter of time.
Those statements aren’t contrarian at all they will realize it will be too late. Leopards will have a feast of faces.
Bad news
Trump is amplifying the rhetoric overseas too
So, he’s also ruining other countries too
its frustrating dealing with this overseas. i am as far from the us as you can get, and it’s worse dealing with it here. i wish i were back home at the moment with people who get it.
Yea, but at least the proportional representation systems in Europe were delaying them a bit to cut off a few hostile actors, create defenses…now it is coming from the most important ally the disinfo storm is going to reach cat 6 :(
All i really want to know at this point is whether or not Fuck Joe Biden flags are passé now
Funny you should mention that; just today I saw a house still flying a “Let’s go Brandon” flag. I thought it was stupid last year when I drove by there and saw it, but this is next level obsession. I guess there wasn’t enough time to find a “Kambala bad” flag.
Biden is still the sitting president.

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.
