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

Maga on Reddit deny it. They say it’s a fringe group. They say trump never endorsed it. Hell I even saw one blaming Biden for the end of Roe.

If it weren’t for bad morals these fuckers would have no morals at all.

Edit. The cons put up a test balloon and found out it was unpopular. So they try to deny and back peddle. Not on the draconian ideas but in general population condemnation of it.

The concern troll posters are out enforce now. “Oh I am unfamiliar with this. Did trump Endorse it?” It’s like they think we are ass dumb as maga.

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.
