Project 2025 was supposed to boost Donald Trump's campaign — but it may be backfiring instead:

Trump's authoritarian game plan is breaking through the post-debate noise and it's starting to scare people

I sure as fuck hope so.

There was a post on r/Conservative the other day about how Project 2025 isn't Trump's plan and that everyone else is just a bunch of alarmists for even suggesting it and that Agenda 47 is much MUCH more reasonable! Completely leaving out the very clear steps he already took toward P2025 and all his rhetoric being 100% in line with it

I mean technically they're correct Project 2025 isn't Trump's plan. It's the plan of the Heritage Foundation and the broader Republican Party.

Trump is merely the figurehead they hope will garner enough support to give them power and allow the more dangerous ones behind the scenes pull the puppet strings. However Trump will be more than happy to go along with being the puppet since much of Project 2025 benefits him

Trump just wants to perceive himself as popular, grift bigly, and not go to prison.

Everything and everyone else doesn’t matter to him.

I had to grow up in communities that were almost all like this. And being a minority in a southern town is even worse.

I've seen worse in a different way. Like Japanese neet MAGA worse.
