If you were one of those people who believed otherwise, you were probably one of those idiots taking every opportunity to share your fake concerns about genocide, and your intent to vote 3rd Party or not at all. Golf clap.
In other news, water is wet.
Why should Palestinians have all the genocidal fun?
Hope everyone is ready to suffer.
I'd say blame it on conservatives. But you can also blame it on the absolute idiots that voted 3rd party, were single issue voters, or abstained from voting. They're just as much to blame and just as stupid as Trump supporters.
In which state did 3rd-party voters tip the presidential election results there?
They are just angry and trying to blame other people for their shitty candidates loss. If they can scapegoat other voters they can feel superior, it’s basically all to protect their fragile feelings.
Kind of sad really
Crows got to straw man I guess
"their candidate"
Goes on to describe themselves and project it. Classy
I hate trump voters, but I hate the people who know how awful he is but stayed home even more.
Same.
I hate self important douche bags who are so used to basking in their own fart clouds that they can't see how sanctimonious they are and can't come to terms with the fact that maybe their fart sniffing ideology doesn't work for all 300M other people in this country.
Especially when they turn around and call their political opposites sanctimonious fart sniffing hypocrites without acknowledging their own hypocrisy. It annoys me.
See the nation is healing already!
But genocide joe or some shit
Fuck off.
Oh you're one of those idiots, got it.
"Genocide Joe" passed more meaningful legislation for average Americans then most presidents. But the conservative propaganda machine won and made him seem like the devil incarnate because stupid Americans can't discern fact from fiction.
stupid Americans can’t discern fact from fiction.
It's almost as if all the attacks on education over the last 4-7 decades are bearing fruit.
Nobody should be surprised by this.
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.

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.
Trump's TRANSition team
Trump was the one turning kids trans in schools all along
He was certainly the one fucking them...

You know who else disavowed what he wrote publicly to pacify his critics? Hitler with Mein Kampf. He kept repeating he wrote Mein Kampf in 1925 but had changed his views since. Guess what: he hadn't.
And surprise-surprise, the Orange Utan hasn't either. It's almost like we didn't see that one coming from a mile away...
And don't think for a second that I'm the only one to see the striking parallel.
I have a friend who says things like "oh that project isn't real its just a think tank".
Nobody writes a document that long and detailed just as a little thought experiment. It was obviously a manifesto and I don't know how so many people against project 2025 still voted for the party supporting it.
It had a 4!!!!! Percent approval rating. 4!!
And yet.. he won the popular vote.
I'm an American in a poor red state. I really hope the FO portion of fafo hits us SUPER hard.
It'll suck for me.. but man it'll be great to be that smug asshole reminding folks who they voted for.
In my county 23% voted Harris. So odds are good that dude in the lifted Ford is a trumpkin.
Fucking idiots....

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?
no this is not idiocracy.
"Thank you for choosing Carl's Jr. You are a bad citizen. Your government is now the possession of Carl's Jr."
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.
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").

So what are you going to do about it America?
It seems like everyone is waiting for another chance to vote. Voting isn't the only political action.
If you want to prevent this agenda you still have options. I don't just mean protests and riots, but organized labor.
A general strike would cripple them. Start organizing your workplaces, join unions, join community groups. The time for voting is over the time for direct action is now. You don't have to wait until the whole project is implemented, you don't have to wait for a disappointing Democratic candidate to gaslight you in 2028. Take action now, join a movement now. The more you do now the better off you'll be in the future.

I've run into some trump voters who aren't worried about project 2025 because "i'm going to vote against it in 2025" and it's like… goddammit, why did the republicans get so good at propaganda so fast (hint: Russian money)
What? The mental gymnastics on these people...
No mental gymnastics are needed when they straight up don't know how their own government works.

Project 2025 is and has always been a right wing conservative wishlist the GOP has maintained since forever.
The idea the conservatives were ever disavowing conservatism was laughably stupid.

And why should anyone be surprised?
-
Rumor of shitty thing republicans are planning
-
Republicans deny shitty thing is being planned, that was just (insert republican official here) brought up, claim it’s just the official on their own.
-
Months later republicans are trying to officially enact shitty thing they denied planning.
