It blows my mind that anyone can be that wrong on all topics.
It’s like the difference between choosing random answers on a multiple choice test versus knowing the right answers and actively avoiding them to get the worst result. It feels like they’re trying to punish the US for something.
Right? Like I’ve thought about how political decisions would be harder if the Republicans weren’t reliably wrong on everything.
Like, if they were pro-gay-rights but anti-environment, that would be more of a thinker. But they’re just wrong on everything.
Fascism, baby.

You’re telling me all that is unpopular??! The “Don’t Tread on Me” folks are falling over themselves to have this?
Sounds really non-tready, lol
This list just reads as “the billionaire list of punishments for the poor that think they’re people” I say we craft the inverse list where literally everything the billionaires enjoy is legislated away, kind of like they want to legislate away our way of life we should legislate away their way of life or I guess legislative way their ability to have billions of dollars.
Ban private jets
Ban megayachts
lol who downvoted this
A conservative. Conservatives are the minions of the billionaires. We cannot regulate/destroy billionaires without first defeating conservatives.
All you need to do is look at the lemee conservative comm to see how absolutely rock bottom stupid conservatives are.
Whenever I am feeling dumb, I peek in there and cheer myself right up!
The temporarily embarrassed billionaires
Classifying transpeople as “pornographic”
??
What’s your question? Have you never seen conservatives scapegoat a minority group before?
I found that confusing too, but I guess it pairs well with
- Ban all porn
Yep. They want to make it illegal for trans people to exist and don’t seem to understand why that would be a problem.
I think it’s mostly the association/“logic” being literally incomprehensible to someone with even the slightest capacity for reason. Classifying an entire group of people as “pornographic” is just so insanely nonsensical, it’s difficult to look at and think of it as anything other than some insane word salad.
What does being classified as a pornographic person entail
It means they will be persecuted in various creative ways. More than they are already, I mean. Could be anything from forbidding them from certain places and occupations to rounding them up and putting them in death camps. They’re intentionally vague about how far they plan to go.
The second. DeSantis already is playtesting this in FL by classifying, basically, being LGBT+ in public as “sexual” and making a law where sex offenders against children have the death penalty on the table. Since you’re in public, there’s a good chance CHILDREN could see you, so…well, you can fill in the rest.
Doesn’t have to make sense. Just has to fit a narrative.
It does make sense though, we’ve seen anti-trans, gay, abortion etc. conservatives be found out to take part in that very thing they’re publicly against so many times, and it’ll keep happening. Them wanting to classify trans as pornographic means they see it as that and they like it and hate themselves and transpeople for it.
I always laugh when they say “ban contraceptives” because I guarantee that the men in congress voting for it have vasectomies. Are they going to reverse them?
No, those with the means will still continue to get them, whether that’s knowing a doctor who will perform it illegally, or by traveling somewhere it’s legal. Same as abortion.
ban IVF? why would they ban a safe and correct use of technology to help couples conceive what the actual fuck, I don’t think there is a single nation on earth that does this, can you get IVF in the middle east? this is just mind-blowingly neardenthal
Generally IVF involves fertilizing many eggs and then picking the best performing. Technically this is abortion.
Technically this is abortion.
Well no, technically it isn’t. But fundies think it is
As most have noted, the right has no objective, they are just against whatever the left is for.
They’re pretty consistent about cutting taxes for billionaires.
100% agree
Do the GOP leadership think this is improvement? Do they push this precisely because it’s terrible - for some reason. I don’t understand the madness.
You have the Christofacist nutjobs who want this, the power hungry fucks who want to control others, and the cowards lacking any ethics that don’t want to offend the Christofacist nutjobs.
The christofacists wants to punish people who are not like them? That’s not in accordance with the teachings of Jesus, is it? I find mild amusement in the fact that according to the beliefs of these people, they themselves are probably going to hell…
That’s true of every fascist regime using religion as an excuse. The Taliban isn’t following the teachings of Islam either, just the parts that give them control.
Do you know much about the bible? The Republicans are basically the Pharisees from Jesus’ time.
Revelation also predicted that there’d be evil shitheads who claim to be Christian but actually follow the Anti-Christ, but that was an easy prediction, there’s always evil shitheads who claim to be good, in any time and religion
The one time Jesus went HAM, chasing religious leaders around their temple with a whip, and whose temple was it? Zeus? Bacchus? Any of those graven-image, many-gods cults? No - he went after his own Father’s priests for being money-grubbing hypocrites.
I’m guessing that story doesn’t come up often at CPAC or prayer breakfasts.
Not familiar enough to know details like that. Is “Pharisees as obsessed with man-made rules (especially concerning purity) whereas Jesus is more concerned with God’s love; the Pharisees scorn sinners whereas Jesus seeks them out” an ok eli5 and tl;dr summary?
Yeah, I guess man kind is good at evil and shithead, unfortunately.
A key thing with the Pharisees was that they were obsessed with the appearance of being pious, rather than actually being so. Much like many modern Christians who are obsessed with appearing faithful and just, but aren’t so concerned with actually following Jesus’ teachings
It’s about maximum profit and control.
You know what I’m always surprised is missing everytime I see this list? Repealing the 14th amendment. They are so wrong on all of it but somehow they don’t go for that one.
They do everything but repeal it
But that’s just it. To the megalomaniacal, psychotic, fascist person id assume the dream of having you own personal household slaves, or factory slaves that you can ln explort and abuse you heartless content would be the creme de la creme of goals.
As an outsider I’m fine with all of this for the US, as long as the US is completely demilitarized and gets rid of every last one if their nukes. Can’t have hyper-religious christian Nazis start nuclear crusades in the name of the only God that matters to them - The Dollar.
It’s fun to disassociate and dream up fantasy scenarios.
I know, it’s as likely as me shiting myself a pair of angel wings.

I’m ok with telling Homeland Security to fuck off. Everything else is at best terrible and at worst blatantly unconstitutional.
agree
the former president’s campaign has disavowed the project and recently went so far as to say its “demise would be greatly welcomed,” while Trump urged his supporters to boo it at a campaign rally.
You’ll have to excuse me if I don’t believe for a fucking second that this is anything but optics. It’s not like conservatives have to explicitly say they’re following the playbook, but they obviously already are – many Republican lawmakers are members of the conservative organizations that wrote the fucking thing (see eg. this bit of news from TN)
Yeah for anyone really paying attention Project 2025 wasn’t the smoke, or even the fire. It’s just a picture of the fire that’s been burning since Barry Goldwater irrevocably shifted what the Republican party was and should be.That event shifted everything to the right because Democrats are still operating under the assumption that the two parties are left and right, and that the general populace sort of exists between the two. We see all those graphs about how only 40% of eligible American voters vote, and I think a lot of people read those charts wrong. Those aren’t voters who don’t give a shit, those are voters living in places where their jurisdiction is so skewed they don’t feel the need to vote, and people who look at the whole political system and see a massive shell game where everyone’s fighting to wield power, but no one’s really challenging if it’s good to live in such a top down administrative landscape where corporations are allowed to do whatever without accountability, and they don’t see much of anyone trying to do anything about that. Think about if you’re a DC or Hawaiian voter with deeply held social convictions and who’s running for office is a neo-fascist and a neo-liberal. How motivated are you to get to the polls when you know all your neighbors see the same thing you’re seeing. Your whole community is going to half heartedly show up for the neo-liberal, so you stay home, and then your jurisdiction goes 70% for the candidate you wanted. Sure, the margin could have been bigger if you showed up, but you’re broke and poor, and working those hours that day got you enough that you can celebrate with your kids tonight that the neo-fascist didn’t win. It’s been months since you had pizza. It would really make them happy watch the results roll in while you have a special treat.
We need this election to be a total shit show for the republicans. Like totally painting the canvas with them kinds of beat down. And then, come January, when the Democrats take office, we need to show up in the streets and show them we don’t like them either. Our politicians are so beholden to financiers and so isolated from our needs that I don’t even think they realize we don’t like any of them. Think about this. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, according to her positions, and according to polls of Americans, is completely aligned with American interests. She wants to do what we ALL want to do. And how many people see her as an evil virus from Satan because that’s what Fox told them she was. How many people see her as a naive idealist who doesn’t understand the full picture because that’s what NBC and CBS told them she is. She’s painted as a radical leftist when really… She’s a centrist. She’s the exact middle of America.
That’s the fucked up political reality we live in.
I appreciate your comment, keep it up!
everything to the right because Democrats are still operating under the assumption that the two parties are left and right
The Dems have had all 3 of the presidency, the house of representatives, and the Senate for 4 of the last 24 years. Or 6 of the last 32 years. Or 6 of the last 44 years. They are forced to go to the center to find voters. They have been on an epic losing streak because the left never shows up to vote.
I’m saying that the center isn’t where the voters are hiding. They’ve gotten dragged into the Republican vortex, and it’s working in the republicans favor. I do get what you’re saying though. The left in this current state of being does need to vote blue no matter who, but I think the dems are leaving votes out on the table by trying to appeal to a group of people who hasn’t existed for a long time: swing voters who might vote blue, or might vote red, they’re just not sure yet. They need to start asking “How do we get the voters who just… Aren’t”
As bizarre as we find it, swing voters do exist. And they are worth double because it’s a vote taken away from the other party and a vote for you. That’s who they go for because the left never shows up.
You’re both right, but I’d love to see some actual data showing who is more right.
Based on anecdotal evidence I would guess they are much more correct, and the segment you’re talking about exists but is pretty tiny.
Imo never underestimate how uninformed people are. Those are the swing voters.
This seems to support your ideas.
I said this in another thread and I will keep repeating it because I think it’s important: if you know anyone who is a veteran or has a loved one who is a veteran, make sure they know that veteran’s benefits will be severely cut if Project 2025 is implemented.
As someone currently serving, it fucking boggles my mind that anyone who has ever served could be in favor of the Republican party. Even without Project 2025 threatening veteran benefits.
So many of us have been to actual locations where the Church has a stranglehold on the government/is the government. My husband has stories from Afghanistan. I went to Qatar, which, is a “progressive” middle eastern country. I could wear tshirts and knee length shorts, but I was also not allowed to ride in an elevator with the opposite sex, and I was heavily questioned when I tried to buy cigarettes until a male coworker intervened and assured that I could. Not to mention the FUCKING INSANE wealth disparity. Palaces gilded in gold for the government/rich/churches and literal shacks made out of whatever material could be cobbled together in the rural areas outside of Doha.
Why the fuck would anyone who has seen that first hand want to support anything that could even remotely resemble a world like that?
Then they’ll get out and pay attention to how much the GOP hates funding the VA and veteran programs in general.
Republicans as a party are generally “Support the troops but fuck the veterans!” just like always. It blows my mind that there are veterans that are also working class that are MAGA because they are getting fucked over twice as much from the very party that they support.
it’s like “save the fetuses but fuck the newly born, especially if you’re not white and without parents in a heterosexual relationship!”
Why the fuck would anyone who has seen that first hand want to support anything that could even remotely resemble a world like that?
Because they think they’ll be the ones in the gold palaces, and they don’t give a fuck about anybody else
And to highlight how bad those benefits actually are, only around 18% of veterans get the benefits they’re entitled to.
If it doesn’t work out this election… They won’t stop. They have been planning this for over 40 years. They have NI INTENTION of stopping. They will try again unless they are stopped
Of course not. The heritage foundation has been doing this since the 70s. Reagan LOVED them.
Everything wrong with this country is basically just a game of 6 degrees from Reagan.
I blame everything on the failure of Reconstruction. Nowhere near enough traitors were hanged.
Same with the business plot.
They have NI INTENTION of stopping.
The candidate of the Face Eating Leopard Party swears he does not like, and will not use, the face eating manual for leopards.
Crazy FRELP supporters
AmericansHumans don’t like Project 2025.FTFY.
demons, on the other hand…
They’re also a little out on it. Hell really relies on those NOAA metrics.
Unfavorable views of the project rose the most among Democrats, for whom the plan’s net favorability dropped by a whopping 36 percentage points, but it also became less popular among the smaller share of Republicans who had heard of the project: Net favorability for Project 2025 dropped 9 points among those who identified as MAGA supporters and 17 points among other Republicans.
I would love to be a fly on the wall when these Republicans finally come to realize who and what they have been supporting all of this time.
They will just double down for a while. Eventually, they will pretend they never supported any of it.
I just want the government to leave me and my rights and my property alone… is that too much to ask???
It’s crazy that your comment was the purported Republican platform for a long time, and they transmogrified into the fascist trash party that Orwell wrote about, that the Empire was in films, and that the Nazis were in real life. All because a bunch of US-based domestic terrorist fundies are running a theocratic “war” against freedom, democracy, and choice. How Orange DonOld the Weird, the rapist with 34 felonies is their figurehead makes even less sense.
Only to the people that were dumb enough to believe Reagan.

yes, it’s a government, if it did any of those things on purpose, it would be illegitimate/weak.
it must fuck up your shit, to prove it can fuck up your shit, to prove it can fuck up anyone’s shit.
Americans want affordable housing, affordable health care, better gun regulations, a true ceasefire, and many other things that the establishment politicians don’t give AF about.
I don’t know about better gun regulations.
90% of Americans want something done about guns. They disagree on the details, but common sense things like Universal Background Checks are very popular. I know it’s common to depict all Americans as “hamburger, humburger, bang bang bang!” but a lot of people think AR-15 and similar weapons being allowed in the hands of civilians is absurd.
I have to wonder what their point is. trump supporters pretend to not like it and it is the literal roadmap for what they’re 100% going to vote for. Most probably don’t care.
And saying Democrats don’t like it is like saying there’ll be a Tuesday next week.
It’s probably like in many religions: they respond on what their priest is saying and want their side to win, but never really studied the scriptures.
It’s a lot like that, yeah.
The right’s desire to win is greater than any sense they might have.
At this point the only reason to vote for Trump is if your brains have been replaced with a yogurt or you’re a monster
I can forgive the 2016 Trump voters, Hillary campaigned with Kissinger after all, but America needs to wake up to the realization that a third of the country are actual monsters.
Who’s got a shocked Pikachu face…
My instance’s custom emojis got you, fam.
Their solution? The same thing but with more Trump 🤦🤬
Dipshit Donald will never lose this albatross around his neck no matter how hard he tries.
You say that but I’m guessing a lot of voters have no idea what Project 2025 is.
AmericansHumans don’t like Project 2025.FTFY.
