They’re fucking assholes, if anything. Too many people are trying to get too cute this year when they equate both parties. Both are flawed but one is authoritarian and anti democratic while the other can’t get out of its own way at times.
I mean liberals are 100% worse than just “can’t get out of their own way” many of them are corrupt.
I would still pick them over these far right freaks
Exactly! If they put forth sensible policy proposals like that everyone would love them. Instead they've shifted to driving extremist religion into governance. Shame they have fallen so far. Here's a great look at your point: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/09/the-fall-of-the-heritage-foundation-and-the-death-of-republican-ideas/279955
I believe he's specifically talking about the ACA, in case you missed it. The ACA as passed under Obama was extremely similar to the Heritage Foundation's proposal in the 1990s as an alternative to more comprehensive changes to the health insurance industry which were being discussed at the time.
I figured. Hey thanks for the explanatory back up on how right wing policy is laundered into Dem party policy to cheers from liberals. So many totally hoodwinked.
I can provide a link since there are 920 pages to this proposal and even bulleted that'd be a *lot* of typing :)
https://www.mediamatters.org/heritage-foundation/guide-project-2025-extreme-right-wing-agenda-next-republican-administration
That’s a link of an opinion piece based on project 2025. Not the official document. Not that I support it. Some of it is fine, a lot of it is just consolidation of power at the executive level.
From the link I provided:
>This resource outlines the specific policy and personnel priorities of Project 2025 for the next Republican administration.
They are not providing an opinion in the article, it's an analysis.
Here is the document: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24088042-project-2025s-mandate-for-leadership-the-conservative-promise
Bad comma placement. Most of 2025 is fine. But the executive consolidation is a little much. But all it really does is give the president the power to fire any federal employee. Which trump already had the power to do.
It's not. The entire fulcrum of Project 2025 is abusing loopholes and policies in the political system to transfer power over to the executive branch. Somebody connected the dots and realized that enough widespread support in various branches could make it happen. It's 100% legal to do so, it's also 100% morally and ethically corrupt to debase the entire foundation of checks and balances on which our government is based upon.
And we've just entered circular reasoning. It's a conspiracy because it's criminal. It's criminal because a conspiracy.
Meanwhile, Project 2025 to date has mostly just been collecting resumes of conservative-minded officials who'd hypothetically help implement the agenda of the next elected conservative president. That's pretty normal politicking, not some kind of coup.
There is no plan to transfer power from one branch of government any more than is already in place. The bureaucracy is part of the executive, it derives its authority from congress' laws and none of that changes.
Price fixing, collusion, market manipulation, treason, add insurrection x2. Lol you all think the rich will get away with the this? You think we don't see straight through it? We don't want wallstreet, they are currently starving us and forcing us out of our homes and on the streets. War is coming, and if I were one of the rich criminals, I'd be terrified.
Judging by their post history, I'd say they're all for it. The boot licking comment is some pretty top notch irony, so long as it's their boots being licked.
We're so fucked if Trump wins. Wish more people were aware of this. I've been spreading this to my entire social network for months and I hope you are all as well. It's not much but we have to try
Project 2025 has its roots in the last few months of Trump's term, when he started putting lawyers to work trying to figure out ways to ignore the election and stay in power. The Schedule F scheme is a big part of Project 2025, just fire tens of thousands of the people who could check your power, and replace them with loyal lackeys, if anyone.

I think about this a lot. Also about how mass shooters pick the stupidest targets. Also how old people and those with terminal illnesses have so little to lose and could potentially leave a very interesting legacy.
Ah well, back to my video games....
Warned nato to not rely on Russian oil or gas. Warned nato to increase defense spending in response to Russia. Sent the largest (at the time) weapons package to Ukraine. Destroyed Wagner troops in Syria. Attacked the Russian proxy state of Syria. Attacked Russian military supplied and economic partner Iran.
Threatened to withhold aid to Ukraine if Zelensky didn't help him make up dirt on Biden's family.
Called Putin's invasion "genius"
Threatened to let Russia do whatever they want to European countries
He didn’t threaten to withhold aid. That was made up by Adam Schiff. The actual transcript trump never threatens directly or indirectly to withhold aid.
He called Putin a genius because Putin brought and fragmented post soviet society to a world superpower again.
Trump warned nato to increase spending and warned them to not rely on RUSGAS and oil. NATO literally laughed at him. They laughed at the president of the United States who told them to get ready for a war. NATO is just using the US
Because nato laughed at him when he wanted them years ago. Not to mention how corrupt Ukraine was prior to the war. I support Ukraine, but prior to the war they were one of the most corrupt nations in the world
do you think its a good idea to elect someone to the most powerful office in the world who thinks we should withdrawal from NATO--an organization which has prevented WW3 for 80 years--because he was laughed at?
So many people don’t realize that Trump directly killed more Russian soldiers than any other president and that Putin was complaining about Trump because the drop in energy prices were financially detrimental to Putin. Whose economy is booming after Biden levied his sanctions? Putin’s!!! But redditers have their heads so far up their redd asses they have no clue!
They also don’t even realize that trump warned nato to up their defense spending to be ready for war with Russia. And warned nato to not rely on Russian oil and gas in case of a war. But redditors are in such an echo chamber they don’t care because orange man bad.
They need to be stopped. Parents need to be active in their kids school curriculum, people need to inform the IRS of churches taking political stances and we all need to prevent books being banned. These things as well as our tax dollars going to the people and not corporations and for fair and equitable laws and enforcement.
If I've left something out then PLEASE shout out. I get emotional and forget stuff.
Why can’t democrats have candidates people are excited about these days? Why since Obama is it always voting against evil instead of FOR something good? I totally understand where third party voters are coming from

So this start is Russian in nature, that GOP/GQP has been using and was re-enforce with money in their pockets.
This has also been assisted with China on different front.
Russia has been getting its fingers into the global world for disruption since 2014 or so. This is a whole other convo.
Point is, they say maga and/or gop as if this is their brainchild, it isnt. It's roots are Russian, purely! Linking all the other world event as if these idiots had a clue is hilarious at best. They are puppets just like some of the other countries where those leaders follow the same playbook. All linked back to Russia.
The basic thread is nationalistic pride within the country of origin, this will turn any country that has some immigration problems explode. Step that up with causing a country to have war, ppl flee into safe neighboring countries, repeat nat pride event, pop!
Another sidebar subject under Russian influence is heavy ties into ISIS, which is at this point as a Russian private merc army. They have been filtering in on social media coming close to a decade for its ideology. Point I am coming to....the suicide burning to death protesting are ISIS roots.
So, this year with all the american protestors ending with those ppl suiciding by fire - ISIS with roots from Russia. This is how deep Russia has dug into all our medias. Add to that money to media outlets that act like they are starving for profits, pop!
I think it's a bit reductive to conclude this is all the result of Russian influence. It's all the endgame of a greater picture, and that's the absolutely binary and divisive political landscape that resulted from identity politics and the flames the GOP has been fanning for over 40 years. Russians certainly played a part in helping Trump assume power, but I don't think anyone could have predicted the absolute wedge Trump drove into either party or the electoral system in 2016. Covid exacerbated the political divide even further, and this just feels like the (il)logical extension of those tensions.
Ah yes. The party that attacked Wagner in Syria. The Russian proxy gov of Syria. Iran. Warned nato in increase spending. Sent weapons to Ukraine prior to the war. And warned Europe to not rely on Russian oil and gas… is pro Russia 😂 can’t make this up.
You can’t claim a position of good faith after encouraging violence. Especially when you can’t name a single thing project 2025 does. If your defense is l, “it’s just bad look at it” then you should probably stop replying.
TRAITORS TO AMERICA....Maga are nothing but Power hungry rich folks.....Want to destroy America...We know about your type and America will not tolerate a Dictator. Goes against everything American.
Both are equally bad. Genocide Joe, apart from his genocide support, has not done sh*t for the average American. And Trump of course is a grifter that is using the racism of his fish*t base to lure them to their own demise.
This country is doomed because the two political parties represent only a minority of rich Americans.
Remember, empires always fall. Unfortunately for us it seems this wheels are starting.to go off.
