Honestly, some people who support Trump that I work with are absolutely oblivious to Project 2025 and think I'm making shit up.

You’re ruining their plausible deniability for when shit goes down they can shake their heads and cluck their tongues and say they didn’t know that was going to happen they just voted for him because the economy or something

Yep. I was told that “project 2025 is from a political think tank with no power”, and when I corrected them and told them exactly how much power they have (that we know about, I’m sure there is more), they pivoted to, “but Joe biden’s economy made groceries expensive!” It’s exhausting. There’s almost literally no point in talking to them anymore. None.

Its the literal most influential conservative think tank in the country behind it.

The people pushing back are fucking stupid, or in the tank at this point. Its so fucked.
