I know everyone is scared of Project 2025 and the fact we might be facing it as a reality, but if you'll allow me a shred of hopium, Trump has proven he will lie through his teeth to be elected and get what he wants. He will lie to anyone to get them to vote or support him. Anyone. - ThreadSky

While I agree with you. I do no fear what Trump might do but more of who he empowers to run wild. RFK and the nuts in the GOP are scarier. If they control the House and Senate, the religious nut jobs will have their way with the country.

They had both in 2016 and shit failed often to materialise, bad stuff will happen but we have to keep fighting for the vulnerable.

Project 2025 has existed under many names pretty much since the Heritage Foundation existed. Politically, it's always been a nothing burger.

The real danger is that Trump has nothing and nobody stopping him this time around, and he's a narcissistic moron that makes Tinpot Dictators look brilliant.

immunetocrits.bsky.social•112 days ago

I mean he had no one stopping the first time around, he had all 3 branches, we'll be hit with a lot of shit but the GOP has been struggling for a while to get stuff off the ground even when they had the house and marginally the senate back in 2022.

ozzyff14.bsky.social•112 days ago

No, he had advisors who could tell him "no" and make it stick. That's why the cops used tear gas instead of AR15s on the protesters. He had advisors telling him he wasn't allowed to nuke allies or bomb US cities.

That's all gone now.

No, I'm not kidding or exaggerating.

immunetocrits.bsky.social•112 days ago

If he bombs US cities jes fucked, I'm sorry but I don't think anyone's going through with these ideas like the generals. Plus he still doesn't have dominion over Congress majority or not.

So how did my post age?

immunetocrits.bsky.social•38 days ago

We'll have to see how many of his orders stick, EOs are strange so some might go into affect and some might not.

ozzyff14.bsky.social•112 days ago

Yes he does. Congress has no authority over him. No order is illegal for him. The Supreme Court ensured that. He can do whatever he wants.

The only saving grace here is that he's a moron.

Theoretically, the rest of the US govt could just ignore them. It's not like the SCROTUS really does anything except talk and take bribes.

madman-w-a-pen.bsky.social•112 days ago

We did this dance before in 2017, and....ACA is still here, no wall paid for by Mexico, and other things. Plus the GOP congress constantly engaged in infighting, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. Things will still get screwed up I'm sure, but fuel for the mid-term elections I bet.

immunetocrits.bsky.social•112 days ago

What's your take on Ukraine with all this? Do you think Europe will continue support?

fizzlefist.bsky.social•113 days ago

The only upside to 2016-2020 is how utterly incompetent they were. God willing that will still be the case.

noobishtrash.bsky.social•113 days ago

Well they certainly haven't gotten any smarter since 2020. So we've got that going for us.

bastugubbar.bsky.social•112 days ago

2020 also helped purge some of the dumbest, by their own choice too!

missdefecation.bsky.social•113 days ago

And he’s incapable of following anyone’s orders thats for sure, his administration will be dysfunctional like the last one no matter how much preparation his morons have made or experience he thinks got from his first term

snakeoilseller.bsky.social•113 days ago

True. Hopefully, it all turns into a shitshow and nothing gets done. It's still not good, but it's better than that.

thatisthepoint.bsky.social•97 days ago

i wonder if the military industrial complex lobbyists will just stand by and let the government kill off their incredibly lucrative revenue source that is europe and ukraine. somehow i doubt it

Finding LazerPig here is like reaching Level three of this platform.

quokkafella.nafofellas.com•70 days ago

Project 2025 delivers Trump absolute power, so no, he is not lying about implementing it.

frostyleech3.bsky.social•113 days ago

Imo, he's not gonna do anything just like last term. In 2016, he had the majority republican seats in Congress and did nothing with it.

docfrylock.bsky.social•108 days ago

It's not trump, it's the scary bunch of lunatics he surrounds himself with

unforgivensti.bsky.social•28 days ago

Looking back to this post and seeing the slew of EOs he has signed, what are your thoughts? Granted there are a myriad of court cases still to litigate, ultimately they will probably end up in front of SCOTUS...which, you know...not a lot of faith in them to uphold the constitution.

billy-oh.bsky.social•107 days ago

I mean, watching the US government being stripped for parts like a 2018 Hyundai Sonata in a chop shop is fine once you realise that it was always going to happen.
It's the only way this was ever going to end.

Thank you, you truly are a pig in trying times.
