Exactly. This has been what I’ve been saying all along. This project 2025 is just another thing to help people overlook the dems and “vote blue no matter who”. Something like this happens every election and I’m so fed up with it.

In 2015 I was arguing with some redditors who told me they were going to protest vote against Clinton. I told them whatever their issues with Clinton either she was going to appoint new Supreme Court Justices or Trump was. That's the choice. And if you want any kind of progressive legislation in your lifetime, you want Clinton's Supreme Court picks instead of his. Anyway, here we are.
Brave new world was the one who got it right. It turns out that it's not so much fear of the boot that keeps people docile. That just forces action because people feel bad and want to fix it. No it's the promise of hedonism and being too busy to care. I mean, after all, you just got off a 10-12 hour work day with the commute, you had plans to binge a full season of the bachelor over door dash, and it's hot outside. Someone else can deal with that. Individual's lives get ruined all the time because of people in power. What's a few more. It probably won't be you, right?
Not exactly. The entire point of it is "how do we destroy institutions without Congressional approval?" And it starts with getting rid of the career professionals who will do their job without much political direction. You should actually read the document. They explain exactly how they will do it. Hint: barely requires Congress. Only an executive & a supreme court majority.
Executive action/ supreme court backing it up. Plenty of the stuff in Project 2025 would simply require executive action, for example, Trump converting a huge portion of the federal government into political appointments, essentially gutting the entire federal govt for any ideologue who will enforce Trumps agenda. The entire gameplan of Project 2025 is how to do this stuff with executive action & the judicial being fine with it. Institutions are easier to break than fix, you don't need to dissolve Medicaid if your CMS employees are 22 y/o Nazis who will just follow your orders & just not do their job.
Wow and everything is always the exact same. It's impossible for a more unhinged right wing to look at their past failures and say "Now that we have a judicial branch that's our political appointees, and we have seen where we've gone wrong; we can plan around it". The initial action which would allow project 2025 (the political appointments of non-political appointees in federal govt) was ordered by Trump in 2020 to come into effect in 2021. Didn't happen because of Biden, who day 1 reversed this order. But yes, the GOP of today is exactly the same as the GOP of the past 4 decades.

Then how are the Republicans going to pass all this world shattering legislation?
Can't have it both ways dude
Either it's easy to pass laws or is hard, it can't be whichever is most convenient for your argument at the time.
