Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Has Trump agreed to follow this project? I just keep seeing you guys talk about a plan a group made and then are pretending that everyone agrees.

Good point! Will the man who literally Sold Out the United States of America to our Enemies go along with this plan that promises to Enrich him with Wealth and Power? I don't know!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (2 children)

How did he do that? Please be very specific.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 9 months ago (1 children)

How? Read Project 2025. That's how.

"the man who literally Sold Out the United States of America to our Enemies"

How did he sell america to our enemies?

He says he's got nothing to do with it. Yet-he's got senior advisors and past appointees that helped write it and support it. He says he needs the heritage foundation -the organization that made it, to accomplish his goals. His super PAC runs ads for it. He stands in front of a podium and calls for things that are pretty identical to what's in it.

Stop watching the mouth and look at the goddamn hands.

He will say anything to lever himself more power because the only way he out runs the shadow of his crimes is by becoming president again.

So then if he has said he has nothing to do it then its a bullshit critique.

I'm not going to vote blue this November.

Now, how credible do you believe that statement to be?

Don't look the pile of evidence in my user history-that'd be makin a bullshit critique.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

If you dont think you will vote democrat in novermber, then you I guess I can only trust what you have to say, or you might just not vote. So since trump didnt say he was in support of the agenda, why should I think he is?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Surely the man whose most well known trait is how much he lies can be believed

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

If you have examples of him agreeing with parts of the plan, then please share and then you have an accurate critique. Right now you are just saying trump believes something he says he doesnt believe.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

Buy him a hamberder and he will agree to anything.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

Yes/no.

On the "let's all remain calm" side we should remember that white papers like these are created and circulated before every presidential election. They are not party policy, merely suggestions.

But then we can remember that the Iraq War was a 1998 Heritage Foundation white paper proposal for the 2000 election.

I think it's more of a concern that any single one of these steps happens it means completely dismantling modern democracy. The details don't matter

Have you read the entire document once? I feel like that's the minimum to be able to comment on it.

It's not long and it uses short words so that their base can understand.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I dont need to read it to know that no part of it "completely dismantles modern democracy". If you believe it does, then you are just believing propaganda.
