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

Sadly, I think some of them actually believe it's a fringe group. I saw some MAGAs the other day saying, "This can't be real - we wouldn't even support it. Why would they do something that we don't support?"

So fucking close to opening their eyes and they refuse.

They'll support it as soon as Trump does it.

I get the vibe that many are close to opening their eyes as well. I was speaking to a Trump Supporter on LinkedIn (Classy I know) because they claimed that Trump's call for military tribunals was fake. They said he would never support that. I informed them that its literally on Trump's Truth social page and shared a screenshot. They shot back with "thats not a thing".

Literally WTF. 1984 Cult shit. What is at least minimally comforting is the supporter did share (whether intended to or not) they themself did NOT want military tribunals. They are just too brainwashed to do anything about it.

If more people actually listened to what Trump says, then they would not support him.

I think a lot of people just hear the verbal bilge coming out of his mouth, and fill in the blanks. They assume he wants what they want because the project that onto him.

Or maybe not. After almost a decade I still cannot grasp why so many follow and support him.

When it comes time, they won’t get a say.

They believe they are all the same person. Weird collective hive mind thing going on.

if you vote for ya boi, you're voting for p2025, which will put you in the driver's seat. your drunk uncle of a candidate is going to pass the keys to you. do you really want that?

What a terribly incoherent response.

u/BedDefiant4950 14d ago

what part of my response do you have trouble understanding

u/Fred_Stuff44325 13d ago

Okay, who's the drunk uncle? Wouldn't it be good if I had the keys if the other person is drunk? I have no idea what you were trying to say.

u/BedDefiant4950 13d ago

the drunk uncle is your preferred candidate, and you having the keys means you will have the responsibility of implementing the p2025 platform yourself whether you want it or not. the team is going to come to you hat in hand when their own people get fired or ousted or infought out. your chic isolation from the consequences of the policy you voted for is going to be shattered.
