Hidden within his spew of outrageous plans will be a devastatingly serious one.

He overwhelms us with shiny objects that the media obediently chases. Then, when he hopes we won't notice, one of Project 2025 programs is enacted.

1. They are going to enact ALL of Project 2025. Down to the last period.

Watch and see if they don't. There is no use lying to ourselves as the media outlets did to our faces. The GOP is looking to destroy American Republic and they do not care who knows it or wishes it was different.

[whathehell]

3. I agree that this is their objective, but

they wil first have to get it through Congres, no?

[0rganism]

5. Who remains in congress with power and will to prevent it?

Are we going to be relying on the likes of Murkowski and Collins to spare us from the worst of the Christofascist wet dream?

[whathehell]

7. I think we have enough

Dems, anti-Trump Repubs, and Repubs who recognize Trump's Lame Duck status (and their subsequent independence) to beat them on many of the mostly unpopular Project 2025.

8. Who? Who among the Republicans has stood firmly in opposition so far?

There will be a lot of incentives for Republican opponents to flip to a loyalist stance. I doubt there's more than a handful in either chamber who offer even nominal opposition, and those can be bribed or threatened to bend the knee as needed. They didn't make it this far as Republicans without compromising their integrity. Hell, Trump may have direct kompromat on most of them.

"Lame duck" applies to individual office holders impacted by term limits. What we're seeing now is the start of a generational dynasty in which one's political survivability ties directly to the quality of one's obedient boot-licking.

Nonetheless, I must applaud your sunny optimism. Once milled and refined, it will make a tasty treat for the incoming oligarchs.

9. We are talking about Project 2025 and the legislation

it will require. No one's yet "opposed" it, because it's yet to be proposed due to Biden still occupying the Oval Office.
You say there will be "a lot of incentives for Republican opponents to flip loyalist", but you don't seem to see that there are lots of opportunities to please one's constituents over Trump when your term extends beyond his..
I don't understand your dismissal of the effects of Trump's term limits since he's clearly subject to them via the Constitution...As for our supposedly "seeing the start of a generational dynasty", I'd have to correct you there..We're not "seeing" anything starting, we're simply hearing about a MAGA fever dream with a zero chance of success. You need to remember that Trump won by only the slightest of margins -- 1.5 percentage points...Such tiny numbers do NOT a "mandate" make...Another thing worth remembering is that Trump doesn't always win..His endorsed candidates frequently fail, and even the Supreme Court, not to mention the lower courts, have ruled against him and will continue do so when they see fit.

I'm afraid I can't applaud your pessimism, though I'm sure It's sweet smell of surrender is something the aforementioned oligarchs would enjoy.

2. All of this

Is just plain and simple red herrings, outrageous BS to distract from the real agenda...

[dalton99a]

4. Yep. Trump is a master at distractions

[0rganism]

6. One might even call him the #1 Master Baiter In Chief

Surely Trump is the greatest of the master baiters ever to live among us
