Summary
Despite disavowing Project 2025 during the campaign, Trump’s transition team is now using its extensive database of vetted conservative candidates to help fill over 4,000 government positions.
Project 2025, criticized for its extreme policy proposals and links to Trump’s first administration, created a “conservative LinkedIn” of 10,000 candidates.
While some contributors are being tapped for key roles, others face rejection due to controversial stances.
Democrats, who used Project 2025 in campaign attacks, are warning of its influence on Trump’s agenda and planning policy responses.

When an individual tells you they are crazy, It’s best to trust them on that judgement
Lying liar lies again. We’re all horribly shocked.
Honestly, a lot of centrist are. They also don’t expect any of it to actually be implemented. Cue those leopards

Fox and Friends didn’t report on it.
When Trump and his team were effectively forced to respond by a deluge of other outlets covering it, Trump literally just got in an interview and said “I never read it”. He didn’t say he didn’t know about it, he didn’t say he didn’t agree with it, just “I never read it, I don’t know what it’s about” - which I believe because the guy barely reads anything according to all the sources I can find.
Remember that really ever since 2000, a LARGE amount of voters have checked out entirely. They get their politics third-hand from people who watched Fox or read an article and many don’t even do that, just going into a polling station and checking whoever’s name they’ve heard more in the last month or two. They’re not even low-information, they’re zero-information, and some, like my mother, are even negative-information, digesting objectively untrue facts and regurgitating them onto their personal political canvas (mom got deep into the Qanon panic because “parts of it felt true”).
I’m pretty sure he’s illiterate.

The America of Idiocracy was waaaay better than what we’re going to get. I remember joking about how we were heading that way. Little did I know how quickly it would be so much worse.
Im in my 50’s. I feel so bad for my parents. So many good things have happened in their lifetimes, only for their twilight years to turn into non-stop devastating disappointment and the relentless reversal of so much progress.
When I was a kid it was a common belief that americans were just way more stupid than the rest of the world. Turns out it was worse, but that we were also really stupid for copying a lot of their dumb shit.

Dude, the rest of the world elects Hitler wannabe’s like all the time.
no this is not idiocracy.
This can’t be happening he told me otherwise. /s
Nobody should be surprised by this.
In other news, water is wet.
And why should anyone be surprised?
-
Rumor of shitty thing republicans are planning
-
Republicans deny shitty thing is being planned, that was just (insert republican official here) brought up, claim it’s just the official on their own.
-
Months later republicans are trying to officially enact shitty thing they denied planning.

Did NBC do any of the sane washing that helped trump get elected?
I’ve run into some trump voters who aren’t worried about project 2025 because “i’m going to vote against it in 2025” and it’s like… goddammit, why did the republicans get so good at propaganda so fast (hint: Russian money)
What? The mental gymnastics on these people…
No mental gymnastics are needed when they straight up don’t know how their own government works.
yeah. these are people who think the new president takes office election night, think the federal government does ballot measures, and haven’t ever really voted in a national election that wasn’t for president. it’s not mental gymnastics to not know things
I’m pretty sure 50 years ago, doctors would be calling it mental retardation.
You don’t even have to go back that far. It was still the accepted term in at least the 90s.
Hope everyone is ready to suffer.
I’d say blame it on conservatives. But you can also blame it on the absolute idiots that voted 3rd party, were single issue voters, or abstained from voting. They’re just as much to blame and just as stupid as Trump supporters.
I hate trump voters, but I hate the people who know how awful he is but stayed home even more.
Same.
I hate self important douche bags who are so used to basking in their own fart clouds that they can’t see how sanctimonious they are and can’t come to terms with the fact that maybe their fart sniffing ideology doesn’t work for all 300M other people in this country.
Especially when they turn around and call their political opposites sanctimonious fart sniffing hypocrites without acknowledging their own hypocrisy. It annoys me.
See the nation is healing already!
Yea that’ll get those ppl to vote with you lmao
I appreciate the optimism about being able to vote in the future
Even if you can’t, I’ll still be able to.
I was talking about “those ppl” you mentioned. nothing to do with me.
But genocide joe or some shit
Removed by mod
Oh you’re one of those idiots, got it.
“Genocide Joe” passed more meaningful legislation for average Americans then most presidents. But the conservative propaganda machine won and made him seem like the devil incarnate because stupid Americans can’t discern fact from fiction.
stupid Americans can’t discern fact from fiction.
It’s almost as if all the attacks on education over the last 4-7 decades are bearing fruit.
In which state did 3rd-party voters tip the presidential election results there?
They are just angry and trying to blame other people for their shitty candidates loss. If they can scapegoat other voters they can feel superior, it’s basically all to protect their fragile feelings.
Kind of sad really
Crows got to straw man I guess
Oh, they’re not angry. They’re just dismayed to learn how many C.H.U.D.s there are in this country who had no problems voting for a narcicistic, low IQ rapist after watching him fuck up for 4 years, and after attempting a coup. Like, seriously, out of all the Republicans to choose from, ya’ll decided Trump was your best and brightest TWICE. It’s like watching the fall of the Roman Empire in real-time.
You know what’s just as productive as blaming voters? Masturbating into a Kleenex. Unless you have a plan to nominate better voters next cycle (yes, if there is one) then your attention is better spent on how we fix a Democratic party that’s so pathetic that it lost to Trump twice.
If Rahm Emanuel or another establishment clone is the next DNC chair, get ready to see this happen again. That’s where the focus belongs for anyone who wants to fix this shit.
Voters saw Trump fuck up four years straight. He’s not wrong about that.
But voters have seen the Democratic Party slowly devolve into a cesspool of corrupt crony capitalism and campaign donor money for the past 50 years.
People don’t give a fuck anymore, and I don’t blame them,
Harris was a trash candidate.
I get it, blah blah blah, Trump is worse.
Harris is a trash candidate.
Just because Whoopi Goldberg and friends try to tell you what a good friend she is doesn’t change this fact. I hope you realize all the talk and news show hosts are in the millionaire class and are so far removed from the realities of everyday Americans… they also get the tax cuts for the wealthy Trump is going to pass, which is why they have no skin in the game.
Harris was a trash candidate. If you can’t see this simple fact, there’s probably less hope for you than for maga.
Americans are struggling.
You know what the democrats did? They tried to tell us that Biden is fucking FDR 2.0
The juicy turd I just dropped flushed down the toilet while typing this is closer to FDR 2.0 than Biden will ever be, by a long shot.
I responded to the guy below you instead of to you post oops
“their candidate”
Goes on to describe themselves and project it. Classy
Your reading comprehension skills suck. The original commenter mentioned TWO types of idiots. 1) the morons that voted third party, and 2) the defectives that ABSTAINED from voting.
I guess your brain only came equipped with 8GB of RAM, because you acted like OP gave you some clever GOTCHA moment by only mentioning 3rd party voters, while you completely disregarded OP including group #2 as well.
In the future, I recommend you avoid complex tasks, like, say, chewing gum and walking at the same time.
Correction, they mentioned 3 types of idiots not 2.
Present some evidence or shut the fuck up already.
That’s not what happened. The slice of America that turned hard against Harris was uninformed voters, not engaged leftists. That is absolutely clear in the exit polls. There was also a massive spike in google searches about whether Biden was still in the race ON ELECTION DAY. If you just have to blame someone other than Biden and Harris, that’s who you must blame. All the evidence says your terminally online theory is flat wrong.

If you were one of those people who believed otherwise, you were probably one of those idiots taking every opportunity to share your fake concerns about genocide, and your intent to vote 3rd Party or not at all. Golf clap.
