Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
Yes, but don't let your self righteousness turn a budding class war back into a culture war.
If Republican voters are suddenly waking up and thinking "this isn't right" smacking them down with "this is what you voted for" is not going to help your cause.
"Yes, you're right, this shouldn't be happening and we should work together to stop it."
No, they knew what it was. They just didn’t think it would affect them.
Farmers didn’t realize they were the E in DEI
I never thought the leopards would eat my face!
This right here. Dumbasses thought they were not on the list but it turns out they had just not gotten that far down the list yet.
after WW2 and the horrors of the Nazis came fully to light....people kept asking....how did the German people let this happen? how did they let it continue until disaster fell? how could they have allowed such cruelty and degradation to occur?
THIS was how. by not paying attention. by ignoring the growing inequities and terror going on in their midst. BY PRETENDING EVERYTHING WAS OK.
and now WE are doing the same. it's easy to ignore right now....it isn't TOO bad....not TOO many people are being affected...yet.
we need to stop ignoring and start paying attention to exactly what they are doing.
For real. And yet some ppl still thinks he's 4d chessing even after all this sht.
I'd love to here from the "project 2025 isn't real." folks right about now.
TBH I'm okay with folks admitting they were lied to. Just help us fix this now.
Not only did they vote for this.
A lot a lot of them only voted for trump on the ballot and no downticket names or state questions.
They literally voted for specifically this.

Very typical voting pattern, nothing out of the ordinary there…
A lot of Rep voters approve of Project 2025. His approval isn't that low. Approval of certain policies, like tarriffs are low, but overall approval isn't. What's scary is his most evil policies (the immigration policies) have some of the highest approval.
Maybe now (for whatever reason) republicans are more in favor of Project 2025 but during the campaign Project 2025 was quickly swept under the rug, because GOP probably knew it was so unpopular it might cost them the election.
They felt they needed the "undecided" or "centrist" vote to win, so Trump denying he didn't know what it was, was helpful. Trump never condemned it either, he just said some of it was a little extreme, IIRC. The "undecided" or "centrist" vote is very marginal.
It was also unpopular within the republican party. Even within MAGA it had only 30% support. It wasn't pushed out of the media to pull undecided or centrists. It was pushed out to not drive away the non-MAGA republicans. You can also compare the October poll to one of the first poll as it shows a clear trend where the more people found out about Project 2025 the less they liked it.
"A nazi walks into a bar, and is welcomed at a table by his nine friends. How many Nazis are at the table?" Anyone who sides with fascists, even tentatively or for differing reasons, is themselves still a fascist.
The German Nazis didn't gain power purely from support of other nazis; they gained power largely from various other parties, business leaders, and wealthy elite, who thought the Nazis would be a useful tool they could use and control to their own ends. The "why" of their support is far less important than the fact of the support itself, and the fact those people were responsible for helping the Nazis commit their crimes.
Trump literally spouting hate, absurd deportation rhetoric, and insane tariffs while on the campaign.
I didn't know he would do that! ~~It wasn't supposed to ruin my life just the other Average American people!~~
Republicans are the stupidest racists on the planet, they can't even recognize when they're about to get robbed after being told they're going to get robbed by the robber.
Seeing a Hispanic Virginia citizen that voted for trump get arrested by ICE without warrant is the full circle stupidity that I've attributed to uncle Toms and log cabinors in the past. You voted so ICE would roll up on people and just grab them off the street because you wanted to be a pick me. Well they picked you up dumbass.
It's the same shit I see when "moderates" get all surprise Pikachu faced when the "fiscal conservatives" they wanted, piss on them with trickle down economics.
No one read it. There were plenty of more obvious warnings.
Why do you even assume they can even read in the first place ?
Republicans supplied MAGAs with a trojan horse by being complacent to who represents their team whether they want to admit it or not.
They were so happy they got to screw over everyone they disagreed with. They considered themselves apart, separate, better, than those they disagreed with. They were the Real America™, the rest of us weren't part of that. They completely overlooked the fact that, for now at least, we are all still Americans, living in the same country, under the same economy, and the same rules. So they suffer the consequences of their hubris and myopic exceptionalism.
But herp my derp, Trump claimed he knew nothing of it right before the election.
Im having a grand time pointing it out as often as possible. Oh you had to skip on lunchables because they went up this month? glad your vote is working out. Gas still the same price? wonder who is doing that now. Oh you didnt get your bonus check, due to increased business costs? I wonder why.
If the US is following Project 2025 that means they really will have 3% cap on money supply growth?
The goal on the tariffs is really to erode foreign tariffs and allow unadulterated actual free trade between countries?
I read it and those two stood out to me the most.
