Hitler wrote what he is going to do. People didn’t take him serious and everyone thought oh I get an advantage. Oh this doesn’t happen to me. Later when it happened to them it was too late as the people who it didn’t happen to didn’t wanted to help because it didn’t happened to them.
Conservatives (Germany ca. 1933): Hitler will only throw the enemies of the German people in jail, so I’m safe. Gestapo, some time later at their door: Hallo. Conservatives: Oh no, who could have seen this coming?
Moral of the story: The leopard bites every face.
“You cannot reason with a tiger when your head is in its mouth”
Conservatives (Germany 2026):
Churchill took him very seriously after having read it, and it served him well in the long run.
Smart people didn’t shrug, they voted against it. Idiots and republicans shrugged and let this happen.
My partner’s parents when we explained some of Project 2025 to them:
Oh, Trump wouldn’t do all that. You know, he used to be a Democrat.
Yep, that’s the idiot segment.
Really sucks that the us right wing has no opposition to speak of
Don’t worry, they have the center right wing to keep them in check.
Sure they do, there’s the slightly more and slightly less right wing.
Well that’s what we are trying to change with these progressive candidates coming through into the midterms :)
people really still fall for this 🥲
i mean there may be some merit, because the DNC is fighting these progressives far harder then the ever fought the republicans or trump. even after they already won.
Then your concern is not unique to the USA
It definitely isn’t 😔
Reminds me of this skit : https://youtu.be/aXzjxVYPjys
Trump: We’re going to do project 2025.
Trump: It’s a good plan but we might have to workshop some things
Trump: I’ve never heard of it before in my life
Media: He’s never heard of it before in his life.
The only egregious part of the carnival is that people think the shit show will end once trump dies.
He is just a puppet mouthpiece and clown face of the hidden puppet masters who are hiding behind his megalomania.
Trump didn’t win, he was put there because he was useful to the real people in power, even if he doesn’t know it himself.
That’s why they destroy education. That’s why they like the small-minded people. And that’s why they like AI so much. They need something to do the thinking for them, but they can’t afford it to be people…
Trump: I love the poorly educated!
And the poorly educated love him back
Because he tells them that their racism, bigotry and stupidity make them better than the people they are afraid of
Their betters.
“Keeping them even dumber than me is hard work!”
Wait until they find out AI doesn’t do any thinking and just regurgitates what it was trained on…oh hey yeah they’re gonna love it!
Worse still, the people with the most power to oppose it (the DNC leadership) are STILL functionally shrugging, when not actively going along with it!
The likes of Schumer and Jeffries are as useful as tits on a tractor and need to be deposed ASAP.
Um, tits on a tractor? I’m a farmer and have never heard this. You have made my god damn year, Viking Hippie. Thank you.
You’re very welcome 😁
Don’t get out much, hey?
the good news is that none of this seems to matter at all somehow. people carry on with their lifes as if nothing bad is happening. what the actual fuck.
Same with COVID. Millions dead and no one gives a fuck except to unjustly accuse Fauci
At least we have conversations now akin to “Remember how much better life was during COVID?”

Project 2025 was just the latest iteration whereby they redrafted their schemes.
This was all outlined back in 1971 at the Business Roundtable that made the long game to overthrow the republic in all but name that has led us here.
Would you mind sourcing a link or giving me some good search keywords? Our tech overlords are making searching for this not a lot of fun.
I think they are referring to the Powell Memo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lewis_F._Powell_Jr.#Powell_Memorandum_(1971)
This video connects some more of the dots: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgYkde3o2Xw
Since 2021 I can’t find all sorts of articles I had previously. Even with the publication, date of publication, name of title, and author name, in articles I effortlessly found prior to 2021. I feel like I am the only one angry about all of this sometimes.
I learned a lot from the guys on collapse on the big social media group reddick there. I can try to find a link but idk about the details I had writing on it saved on my old laptop that froze up on me.
I can’t find anything either, except a facebook post that might mention it but I am not on facebook as such and it’s not a good source. That is the only hit on the search that even pretended to find what I was looking for, the rest are purposefully not what I searched for.
I know it can work better, because it did work better. Anyway I will reply again if I find something, but if on reddick try the collapse sub and sound them out on it on an economic type post and they will give you more links that you could read.
Thanks for the pointers.
Yeah, I am infinitely frustrated by the enshitification of search on all platforms. There are some awesome videos that I can no longer find on Youtube, scientific publications that are super difficult to find now. Oddly, the CIA government site’s search still works great for declassified documents.
The only political thing in that regard I remember is the Citizens’ Commission to Investigate the FBI. The business roundtable was created 1972 so maybe they are referring to a previous organization? However the Business roundtable has a wikipedia entry that’s already grim
Huh so that’s WTF happened in 1971
The best part is these idiots are economically drowning and they’re still just shrugging.
Kamala Harris stated that while she anticipated many of Donald Trump’s presidential actions, she was deeply surprised by the widespread “capitulation” of institutions, lawmakers, and corporate leaders who failed to act as guardians of democracy.
Yup. Almost like corporate leaders were never guardians of democracy.
That has to be a lie. If we knew what would happen, how could she not.
“if you read project 2025…”? The faq makes you think maga voters can read? How were they to know?
There is a president that tried to overthrow the elected government, is a convicted criminal, is openly corrupt and don’t get me started on what he did to children! And no one does something! It’s insane.
A couple people have tried to do something.
“But he said he didnt know about/disavowed Project 2025… how can he be following it so closely?!” - Typical conservative voter, who will absolutely, despite their outrage, vote again on an illegal third term
Americans are too self-centered to care about little things like, oh, what kind of world we’re going to be.
FYI, most non-US citizens of Lemmy wants US citizens to fight and die to secure the marginally better rights they have but didn’t have to fight for because it was won by their ancestors who were weighting them against must grimer fates. They know they wouldn’t risk death in the same situation. However, they think we are stupid enough to get bullied into it by them.
They will also do exactly nothing to help and will provide no useful suggestions. If it is any consolation, the US is large and influencial enough that we will all go down together.
If by “self-centered” you mean working class people just trying to survive while we have no control over what the wealthy people do above us to keep crushing us down, then ok.
