That’s always been his plan. And it’ll happen because these Heritage Foundation ghouls will run the government off-camera while Trump and his reality TV cabinet distract us with fights and absurd sound bites in between his golf rounds.
America is just experiencing a case of all-time stupid. There's no excuse that I can find that says Americans didn't know about Project 2025.
If we're in a 'golden age' of anything, it's the golden age of ignorance and stupidity for America. Where's my Brawndo?
When I was a kid it was a common belief that americans were just way more stupid than the rest of the world. Turns out it was worse, but that we were also really stupid for copying a lot of their dumb shit.
Fox and Friends didn't report on it.
When Trump and his team were effectively forced to respond by a deluge of other outlets covering it, Trump literally just got in an interview and said "I never read it". He didn't say he didn't know about it, he didn't say he didn't agree with it, just "I never read it, I don't know what it's about" - which I believe because the guy barely reads anything according to all the sources I can find.
Remember that really ever since 2000, a LARGE amount of voters have checked out entirely. They get their politics third-hand from people who watched Fox or read an article and many don't even do that, just going into a polling station and checking whoever's name they've heard more in the last month or two. They're not even low-information, they're zero-information, and some, like my mother, are even negative-information, digesting objectively untrue facts and regurgitating them onto their personal political canvas (mom got deep into the Qanon panic because "parts of it felt true").
The America of Idiocracy was waaaay better than what we're going to get. I remember joking about how we were heading that way. Little did I know how quickly it would be so much worse.
Im in my 50's. I feel so bad for my parents. So many good things have happened in their lifetimes, only for their twilight years to turn into non-stop devastating disappointment and the relentless reversal of so much progress.
Told and told and told by everyone with half a brain but as usual the nitwits wanna listen to the "entertainer"
They knew. They wanted this. The denying just gave them "plausible" deniability.
Trump's TRANSition team
Trump was the one turning kids trans in schools all along
Nobody should be surprised by this.
This can’t be happening he told me otherwise. /s
This is exactly what they said they would not do... trump stated several times that he would not go forward with this project that he had never ever in a million years heard of.... You people were played like a cheap russian fiddle.
I'm shocked, SHOCKED! ... Well, not that shocked.
Oh so its ok for trump to transition?!?! I see how it is....
When an individual tells you they are crazy, It’s best to trust them on that judgement
They never came up with any other plan, so they're just going with what they've got. They haven't been able to govern for more than a decade. They're so fractured and have done nothing more than shit talk and blame, so no nobody is willing to try to get republicans to form a group capable of planning anything other than who to point fingers at.
They never came up with any other plan
The guy said he had concepts of plans in a debate designed as a platform for candidates to let America know what their plans are.
And then we elected him anyways.
Americans are fucking stupid.
Take politics and politicians out of the equation and you're still left with stupid fucking Americans. And THAT is why we're doomed in the long run.
