The GOP is in damage control mode

[misanthrope]

Not only did they instruct Trump's camp to disavow knowledge or approval of Project 2025, they are now trying to disarm the issue that has curried greatest opposition over the last few years, the Dobbs decision. They are telling media that they will change a platform plank seeking a national abortion ban.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/following-trump-lead-republicans-adopt-181313678.html

Also notable that they aren't making the mistake they made in 2020 by not publicizing any platform at all.

Of course, this is all kabuki. Trump does know what Project 2025 is, just as the plan mentions him repeatedly in its pages. And the national abortion ban can always be acted upon after the election. It would be in character.

1. But, but, but... Are they convulsing, yet?

We need convulsing!

[marble falls]

2. Too bad the true believers backed by fascist minded corporate money-men will put up a big fight.

[Hugin]

4. It's always been the case they wouldn't go quickly or quietly.

I think we’re up for the task.

[marble falls]

11. With my frustration after all the brouhaha over the dog and pony show, I am really up for a fight.

[BComplex]

36. Me, too, marble falls. They don't know what they started.

It's like this all across the world right now: France, GrBrit, and here. Someone poked the bear. People are coming awake. They shouldn't have picked a fight with "woke"!

[marble falls]

38. I still have a pair of my sixties Converse hi-top street fighting shoes. I will turn out when it comes to it.

[Ishoutandscream2]

46. I shout and scream, I kill the king!

Ain’t no place for, Street Fighting Man!

[BComplex]

54. LOL

[WheelWalker]

37. This ain't no Disco.

[Hugin]

48. They threw down the gauntlet...

[proud patriot]

3. They are running scared

[Skittles]

6. there is not one single repuke who could be trusted to tell the truth

and look at the NYT, kissing Trump ass

headline SHOULD read GOP CAVES TO TRUMP, with the byline THEY'RE "PRO-LIFE" UNLESS IT AFFECTS VOTING

[MOMFUDSKI]

7. It is all bullshit but sure is fun watching

the dancing monkey show.

[Think. Again.]

8. Yes, it is total "disarray"!

[Think. Again.]

9. But they HAVE publicized their platform...

...they just gave it a cutesy name, Project 2025.

They even clearly refer to it as the "Presidential Transition Project"

Here's their list of campaign platform items...

[AllaN01Bear]

22. samoe ole song and dance routine that is shoved upon us year after year after year.

mom knew about this in the 1930s where some elements wanted to change the us from a constitutional to a non constitutianl for of gov to a crhistian theocrac . she also knew about the nazis in usa at that time

[wnylib]

24. Then we should call it the Trump platform whenever referring to it.

[Think. Again.]

25. Absolutely, because it IS his platform.

[TheJillMill]

33. Thank you, Think!

I was looking all over for this exact same list I found on my phone the other day but could not transfer it to my computer. I'm having cards made of these posts and distributing them by hand to wake people the F up.

[Think. Again.]

35. EXCELLENT IDEA!!!

That does away with all the arguing and gaslighting from them!

When they start talking about how good they think trump would be as President, just hand them a card, smile nicely, and walk away.

Or even if someone claims they're "undecided", just hand them a card, smile nicely, and walk away.

[llmart]

44. I agree.

Print a bunch off and place in the public areas.

[Think. Again.]

47. Yep, no explanation necessary.

[llmart]

51. Every little bit helps to get the message out.

Libraries have public areas where you can place things. I've even seen restrooms where the evangelical fanatics like to put all their jesus proselytizing. Take a page out of the Jehovah Witnesses playbook. If you live in an apartment complex put them in the mailroom. You get my drift.

[Think. Again.]

52. ...

[sop]

39. Christ, the first three things on that list alone guarantee no woman in her right mind would for for Trump.

No wonder they're so scared their little RW wish list will go public.

[Think. Again.]

42. So let's make sure in gets everywhere...

Remember those "Biden did this" gas pump stickers?, we can be creative too.

[sop]

49. It's about time Democrats did a little ratfucking themselves.

[Think. Again.]

50. With everything that's at stake, I'm in.

[getagrip_already]

10. The fundies wont stand for no national abortion ban....

They are threatening to take their congregations and just stay home.

They see it as a betrayal. And besides, they already won states deciding for themselves. That gets them nothing.

They want everything, now, and they want everyone to know they can force it.

Please proceed.

[Justice matters.]

21. But they know Biden/Harris and a blue congress (trifecta) will codify...

Roe v Wade into federal law of the land.

That should terrify them cause they know the majority of voters want that freedom back, even in deep red Kansas.

[EarlG]

12. It does smell of desperation

The GOP is synonymous with abortion bans at this point. It was their corrupt SCOTUS who overturned Roe v Wade, and Trump who put three of those justices on the court. How much video is out there of Trump boasting about overturning Roe? (Answer: A lot.)

The GOP knows they’re in trouble with this issue, but backing off might do more damage to their own support. If they’re big going to pretend like abortion is no longer an issue for them, surely they risk turning off a LOT of fundamentalist single-issue voters.

13. Chum the waters, tie this anchor around FF45's neck, and toss him overboard

Why hello there, Donald.....

[erronis]

15. Oh, nows! We know that donnie hates sharks!

[johnnyfins]

23. Make sure to also tie a battery around his neck

[Think. Again.]

28. A battery big enough to sink a boat! (after it was afloat long enough to get into shark infested waters)

[Beartracks]

14. "Lying" is a plank in their platform.

[erronis]

16. It's the whole damn floor, walls, ceiling. Everything they do is a lie.

29. ⬆⬆⬆THIS⬆⬆⬆

[BumRushDaShow]

18. They wanted the anti-Dem stuff to distract from their "GOP IN DISARRAY"

that the media refuses to talk about.

[Think. Again.]

31. But we can, everywhere.

[BumRushDaShow]

40. And we ARE!

[Think. Again.]

43. Go Dark Brandon, GO!!! 🌊 !!!

[flying_wahini]

19. Everyone knows the ChristoFascists aren't going anywhere.

They may shut the hell up at the moment but they are probably REALLY pissed that they can’t goose step at the Republicans convention next week in Wisconsin. I bet they can’t get a refund on their Swastika flags either.

[johnnyfins]

27. Refund? They were all hand sewn by Ginni Thomas' friends and minions

[Norbert]

20. You mean Biden havivg a bad Debate Night isn't going to work?

Someone should tell our guys.

[johnnyfins]

30. Just saw a headline on cnn. "How did we get here with Biden". Was that a question for CNN staff?

Because "WE" did not get here. CNN has been pushing the whole Biden Drop Out bullshit from the start. FUCK THEM.

[Think. Again.]

32. Full circle.

[Biophilic]

26. They will say one thing now and something entirely different after the election.

Why would anyone even pretend to believe them?

[Beck23]

34. Maybe it's also about the Epstein files

Maybe they are trying to get ahead of the Epstein docs.

[hay rick]

41. The new abortion policy language:

No national abortion ban (wink, wink).

[Frank D. Lincoln]

53. Exactly.

They're just trying to deceive people to get (independent and swing) votes. If Trump comes to power again, they'll impose a national abortion ban with absolutely NO exceptions. The reich wing believes that life begins at conception.

[liberal N proud]

45. They just instruct the cult with responses

Like this: “you just don’t know who to believe”
“I have not seen it”

[PAMod]

55. Talking points are out in public now

Just had a moron tell me anyone concerned about Project 2025 is being paranoid and hysterical.

Big surprise.
