I’ve never seen something as unhinged as Project 2025. I mean it, it sounds like a shitty “evil plan” cooked on 4chan, but it’s fucking real. Insane.
It’s not just real it’s their actual political strategy. This isn’t fringe shit, this is what they will do when they take office.

4chan has several porn and LGBT boards. this is on conservatism.
Yeah, but a lot of conservatives, and by extension fascists, are extremely hypocritical on the surface, except they like to use “hypocrisy” as a tool against their opponents, and by “hypocrisy”, I mean not following the strawman version of your ideology. I personally call this as “rulebending”, they’re manipulating their opponents rules to be even higher and thus choking them with it.
On a deeper level they just want a lot of power, which includes them being above the law, as long as they’re loyal to the dictator/king. If project 2025 succeeds, expect one of them getting caught on live with real CP, maybe even raping a child, then will just go “so what? I can do this, you are not allowed to!”.
If we’re talking about American politics in our lifetime, yeah this is tops. But it’s not history’s craziest politics by a long shot
Hear that everyone, it could be worse
Thanks for the enlightening framing. When they’re rounding up people they don’t like we should tell them it’s ok, it’s been worse
Nobody fucking cares. This isn’t some academic exercise to rank crazy times. This is the very real political strategy of a party about to take power in the US. This view from nowhere shit is so exhausting.
You mistake me: I think it’s so bad people should leave if they can, or revolt en masse. I just also like talking about history.
Read the room
I have. Are you going to leave if you can or revolt en masse?
Yes my family and I fly out next week
I left three years ago. I saw all this coming, though I still do the voting bit. Sorry it’s come to this.
I didn’t know there was a book adaptation of that movie
Anyway, how’s your sex life?
Better than my septem life, that’s for sure
Project 2025 wants to:
- Outlaw pornography
- Outlaw abortion
- Outlaw homosexuality
- Eliminate all major checks on presidential power. Say goodbye to the system of checks and balances
- Replace many federal workers with those who are loyal only to the president
www.defeatproject2025.org breaks it down by topic, also highly suggest John Oliver’s segment on it
Dictatorship ftw
Delete terms that deprive of first amendment rights.
Bit of an oxymoron isn’t it?
For fascists, freedom of speech equals saying slurs.
Without the oxy
We are so fucked
Ok ok ok…the porn is going too far and we all know that you all will be the ones suffering…so you need to work on your blatant lies… Your own president paid to sleep with a porn star for heaven’s sake
He’s not our president anymore! Yet!
I pray to you Jeebus, Buddha, Allah, Satan, Giant sketti monster…PLZ HALP. I mean your own as in the Republican party’s president… sorry for the funky wording teddy brosavelt
Literally just yesterday I posted about it in my family’s political group chat and my older sister said, and I quote:
“even though I lean left, I’m actually glad that conservatives have a playbook! Why? because Trump’s first term presidential transition (2017) was totally bungled… he needs a list of people that he can appoint from, so that these agencies don’t just fall apart… Don’t kid yourself, Biden’s team and Obama’s team and the democrats overall definitely have their own playbook and their list of potential appointees. They just don’t have to crowdsource theirs!”
cue insane Charlie Kelly screams
Narrator: She did not actually lean left, but instead very far right.
She just likes weed.
my family’s political group chat
One member got upset that we were discussing politics in the family group chat so much in 2020 (read: we were bashing Donald Trump and his fucking idiocy too much) and insisted we move the conversation elsewhere
would it be better to have two trump terms, back to back, or to make a biden sandwich and have a break between the terms?
i worry that if trump comes back from the dead he might do crazier shit than if he was just re-elected and kept eating mcdonalds at the white house.
no way to know for sure, unless whoever built the universe made two copies just to test this out
I’m feeling confident that the 4 year break gave him and the actually smart people funding him and giving him ideas more time to come up with efficient plans
but biden said umm. i can’t tell the difference /s
already happening
I’m not a capitalist but glad the free market regularly aligns with DEI. Thought the company I work at would back off a bit to the news coverage of outraged hysterics but they’ve doubled down.
Is this a joke? The only reason the “free market” pretended to align with DEI in the first place was for regulations and public relations purposes. The capitalist class has never and will never give a fuck about DEI. You know that HR departments are not our friends, right? Their job is to execute the will of the capitalist class upon the working class.
- AP, Jan. 2024: As diversity, equity and inclusion comes under legal attack, companies quietly alter their programs
- Bloomberg, Feb. 2024: Why Companies Are Scaling Back DEI in America
- Morningstar, Mar. 2024: Companies are pulling back on DEI. What will be lost in the process?
The free market doesnt align with DEI, its forced by corporations and organizations that are backed up by the government.

Thats funny, I was born and raised in Portland and now it sucks due to the type of policies people like you advocate for.

Let me get this straight the conservatives in Oregon (which have no power) forced through legistlation… Sure thing bro!
Why would it be bad to terminate investigations that are unlawful or contrary to national interests?
Because “contarary to national interests” means “any investigation that targets friends of mine”
At first I naively thought “why is that a bad thing?”, but then realized who exactly decides what these “national interests” are?
Definitely using some “weasel words” in their policy to get away with some shady shit.
Any law that you see that you think “Wow, no way they can enforce that! That would get EVERYBODY in trouble” is a law that is intended to be selectively enforced against unwanted people
That could be how you would mean it, but that is not how I interpret it or how they intended it.
You’re new to planet earth, it seems.
If you believe that, then I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell you.
You guys literally just claim things without any evidence… You guys have lost to plot
“You guys literally just claim things without any evidence”
How ironic…
You, just a few comments ago:
“that is not how I interpret it or how they intended it”
If you’re so sure of their intent then where is your evidence?
You’re doing the exact same thing you accused the other commenter of; you literally just claimed something without any evidence.
Yes because I know what they mean because I have heard them explain the problem. You guys on the other hand dont know what they believe because you dont know anything about them.
In Hungary, state institutions like the police of the tax bureau only target people and companies outside of Fidesz’es interest group. That’s what they want to adapt, so every company will fall in line with Project 2025.
You are just making up their intentions based on nothing.
The Heritage Foundation not only helped Orbán into power, but also learned a lot from their playbook.
How did the Heritage Foundation significantly help Orban?
Here’s an article on the Heritage Foundation’s website explaining why they want to help him:
You are just assuming their intentions based on nothing. Why is your assumption more valid than anyone else?
