Before the election - Bluesky libs amused me by saying the name of the project was ominous. One, it doesn't sound "ominous" at all. It sounds bland not malignant. Two, who gives a fuck what it's called! I ended up muting Project 2025 for a few months because the libs kept saying the same things over and over.

longstanding aims

It makes me kind of insane how the dems hyper-fixate on Trump and entirely forget history, recent events, and context. Before the 2000 election - if Dubya had had a project 2001 - the right wingers could have gotten everything they wanted after 9/11 because the dems would have wanted to show strength and unity. There surely would have been a bipartisan push to "streamline" the federal government by crippling it by cutting Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, etc.
