      Have you seen any of the videos of him signing executive orders? He literally doesn’t have a goddamn clue. He’s just rubber stamping everything they put in front of his face.

        Exactly. I’ve been saying it since 2016. Trump is just the face of the global corporate plutocracy seizing the means of democracy. Numerous corporations and oligarchs worked together to create the pseudo-libertarian conservative propaganda machine decades ago, and they are now leading this fascist revolution.

        Fascism is a fusion of the corporation and the state, and multinationals look at Chinas state capitalist monopolies with envy. That’s why every single one led them are bending the knee instantly. This is what they’ve been working towards for years. A democratic “will of the people” is the greatest threat to their wealth and power, and nation states are only thing with enough power to hold them accountable.

        And with your comment… You remember that freeze frame where Ralph’s heart breaks when Lisa rejects his cha cha cha choose you card? Same for my spirit here

      I mean, he wasn’t wrong here, but I don’t think fucking Matt Walsh knew more than any random person. He just wants to stir up shit to get attention.

    Can we normalize summaries on articles from websites that have 2+ full screen pop-ups asking you to subscribe to their paper, newsletter, or accept their privacy invasive cookies or whatever stupid shit I just had to navigate through to read that

    The article is basically saying “trump lied about not knowing about project 2025, Here’s a few things that line up with it.” and it points out shit we already knew like immigration and “dei”.

      Hopefully we stop relying on these corporate journalist cause “journalism” is bought and sold at this point. Where are the independent journalist? I think we need to start looking towards a platform to fund people who seek the truth, cause every established modern outlet seems to be selling the same shit.

      Yeah, who needs to read entire articles, right? No wonder everyone is so fucking stupid and uninformed.

        Did you just read the first 5 words or what? The whole point of my comment is not that we shouldnt be informed, but that the websites that are “informing” giving you all this bullshit before the information are wildly annoying. Would you like it if you had to give out your phone number before I told you where the bathroom was? Get a grip.

      They really are shocked though.

      The media continuously took his lies at face value and faithfully republished them while everyone with a bit of fucking sense saw them for what they were.

    A Bloomberg Government analysis found that dozens of executive actions rolled out by the new administration this week mirror recommendations in the sweeping plan. In all, more than 30 out of Trump’s 47 initial executive actions as of Thursday afternoon match or partially align with ideas promoted in Project 2025, the analysis found.

    I’m just shocked that people are shocked that they’re following the playbook they said they’d follow that for some reason nobody believed they’d actually follow.

    Like, they published the plan, in detail, in entirety. They said the were gonna do it. Then all the “adults in the room” said “nah that’s crazy they wouldn’t do that”. Then they did it, and the “adults” were shocked.

      I remember having a conversation with someone I know pretty well, and they asked “Project 2025? Isn’t that just conspiracy theory?”

      Me, after a beat to make sure I heard correctly…“Um, no. They published a rather large PDF. You can download it and read it. It’s a thing.”

      Turns out, they listen to Rogan, so not sure what kind of gateway red-pill bullshit he was slinging on his podcast about Project 2025…

    Trump lying? Really? Who’d have thought such a thing could happen, after only 30,000 previous lies while in office?

    Trump’s Early Actions Mirror Project 2025 Plan He Once Dismissed pretended he didn’t know anything about due to his knowing how horrifying and unpopular it is

    No! But he distanced himself from that very unpopular, pre-built project that gives all his friends everything they want and outlines exactly how to do it really quickly and it was exactly everything he wanted. Why would he decide to implement that? I’m shocked. Flabbergasted. Gobsmacked.
