What do you expect from Politico? They're owned by Axel Springer Verlag, founded by the wannabe Murdoch from Germany.
Axel Springer, the media company that is trying to sue Adblock in Germany saying that blocking ads infringes on their copyright? The Axel Springer that lost that suit, so now they're re-filing again? That Axel Springer?
No but the bot said it's high factuality so if they say Project 2025 is a mirage it must be right.
“Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise”
this has been a thing in writing since the 1980's and we've enacted almost 75% of all the recommendations so far; it's not the boogeyman that it's made out to be in this election cycle.
then again; people who buy into this strawman also tend to minimize an active genocide as nothing more than a "single issue" vote so i guess you have to create something to get them to care.
Exactly. Besides, they already created their work, that 900-page manual. What's left to do? At most, advocate, which the foundation would do anyway.
Don’t care, I have no sympathy for those that lack empathy. Everyone that touched that document is a douche, and I hope it stains their careers for decades. Shoestring staff or not, it’s still a terrible document that spells the death of this nation as we know it now. If anything this article makes me despise the people working on it more, due to the fact that they are working on it against such odds means they believe this is Gods mission for them to get this thing live. We will see this thing morph into actual policy in a decade unless we stop now and shame everyone that thought any of it was a good idea.
There’s nothing about this that’s a “mirage”. It’s what these people actually think and want to implement.
Exactly. Whether or not they try this haphazardly, they will still try it. And people will be hurt in the process.
I don't think anyone every thought conservatives would become 'ultra-disciplined' because of 2025. I don't know where they get that notion.
No the fear was that it would facilitate a legal version of the fake electors scheme via unitary executive theory... Which if you look at the Wikipedia for Project 2025, is the theory that it's trying to implement.
just because p2025 people are allegedly incompetent and wasteful at being evil scheming fuckers doesn't absolve them of responsibility or consequences of being evil scheming fuckers
Just because modern 'conservatism' is practically defined by its incompetence, doesn't mean it hasn't been racking up win after win after win. They are relentless, fueled by fanatical religious views, a sense of entitlement to take any step necessary to achieve their goals, and pure hatred of anyone that attempts to stand in their way or even moderate their views.
Their hatred is infectious, and there are unending waves of fools ready to sacrifice themselves for what they see as a holy war. Don't think for a second that Project 2025 isn't incredibly dangerous, even if Project Heritage has understated offices.
900 pages... I mean, that's a lot for a poorly run project...
With that many assholes contributing to it, all wanting to bloviate, it's not all that surprising.
Currently watching Walter Masterson at the RNC:
Most of the Republican party is fully aware and supportive of Project 2025. Those that don't know much about it support all the positions.
All I’m hearing is what they want to implement would be even more chaotic and self-contradicting than we already expected, which just makes it that much worse.
Project 2025 just says out loud their plans. There is nothing here they disagree with.
The relatively low-budget feel of the database and the training academy has prompted some of the project’s partners to wonder what, exactly, Dans and his team have done with the $22 million that the Heritage Foundation initially pledged toward Project 2025. When I asked Dans how the budget had been used, he reached for one of his folksy aphorisms.
“I remember this Old Milwaukee [beer] ad from the ’80s … and there was the one guy who was in charge of the beer fund, and [he and his friends] were all happy and they’re drinking ‘Old Mill,’ and [one of them] said, ‘Well, what did you do with all the monies that you were putting into the beer fund?’ And then you see the guy behind them with a big yacht.”
“We’re drinking ‘Old Mill’ here,” he added.
So not all of the $22 million that had been earmarked for the project had actually been allocated to it? I asked.
Dans nodded. “We’re much more [low] budget over here than what people [operating] in the caverns of the liberal mind would like to believe.”
"I got my yatch!"
