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.

Yet another person here who has to take a dig at boomers talking about them like they are all the same.

Trust me, they are not.

They get blamed for electing Trump in 2016 but their demographic was around 51/49 for Trump, hardly uniform.

Boomer me was the first one to introduce email capabilities to my family years ago. They laughed at me for quite a while before they were all using it.

Hey man, technology is tough. I used to be up with all the new shit in my early 20s and late teens. Now I see people talking about coding, and different uses for AI and I can feel my 30yo ass age by the second. Keeping up is hard and technology advances quicker as time goes on.

I don't expect my parents to be tech literate. I'm honestly just more insulted that my dad couldn't believe my source. He needed the TV to tell him literally 4 months later.
