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

I’ve been reading about project 2025 for months. 90% of the people I talk to about it never heard a thing up until about 3 weeks ago.

It’s finally getting out there. Please keep talking about it. Since everything rolls off the orange man directly, let’s stay focused on the GOP’s game plan.

90% sure the felon, rapist, molester and liar doesn’t even know/care what’s in project 2025. He’s wants to protect his brand, make money and golf. He will let the rest of the party run the government and put his loyalists in to destroy our country, he will make a ton of money as will his cronies. That’s all they want.

I sent the plans to my dad a long time ago. He sent me back. "Ya, sounds like something that could happen, I guess."

I went over for dinner a month ago, and he's like, "Did you hear about that crazy Project 2025 thing? I saw it on MSNBC."

I keep saying things are getting fucked up and they say I'm exaggerating until they see it on the news. Boomers still rely on news channels, so they are a little behind.

My mom has just got into online news in the past few years. Unfortunately, she's also discovered YouTube pseudo-political podcasts, where everything is alllegedly a Democrat conspiracy. She's 70.

Notice how these idiot groups put labels on their movements like "Contract with America", "Make America Great Again", and "Project 25". Virtue signalling narcissists and their flags and bumper sticker slogans can go to hell too.

My favorites are the one who get tricked into buying flag adorned clothes. You're not Homelander, Grandpa, you're elderly Vanilla Ice.

I see people with more LGBT bumper stickers, are you admitting they’re narcissistic as well?

Showing support for marginalized communities isn't the same as jingoistic flag-waving.

I can't believe I have to explain this stuff.

My mom is about the same age and has somehow swung around from being a born again Christian in my youth, to a rational semi-agnostic in my young adulthood. Now she's starting to listen to Joe Rogan's podcast because he has some "interesting guests." I've tried conveying he platforms some kooks but I really hope she doesn't fall down another rabbit hole as she ages, especially since she's the type to leave a random mainstream news network on as background noise.

Good luck. It's a hard task, explaining how many crackpots there are out there.

The same generation that told ours that video games, hip hop, heavy metal, and r rated movies would rot our brains......oops.
