Trump will just wave his hand, do absolutely nothing, say the economy is the best it's ever been in history (gotta add the "in history" to everything), and people will just believe that shit while continuing to pay fifteen bucks for a Big Mac.

They really don't understand that immigrants, both documented and undocumented, are the backbone of this economy.
And it's infuriating.

Not really that complicated, the republican party point is basically "trans women are men so keep them out of womens sports" (honestly surprised they didn't add bathrooms to the list too). Not difficult to parse.
The school stuff is basically a push across the country at a local level now being elevated to federal level, defund any school that tries to teach alternative US history. Anything that basically says racism still exists and needs to be addressed is viewed as critical race theory. Anything that paints white men as bad is critical race theory.
Put simply it's transphobia. They don't want transwomen to compete with other women.
The world's leading energy producer…presumably, entirely via coal.
You can see the thought process behind all of this. Hey, we're getting bad press about Project 2025, someone send out our platform. What, we don't have one? Well type one out, you've got twenty minutes and a broken keyboard!

I know guilting people into voting Dem despite legitimate grievances isn't right, but the sad reality is you KNOW 90% of currently registered GOP voters are ABSOLUTELY eating this up. They will mob those voting booths for this fucking lunatic charlatan because they are a literal cult nowadays.
Let me try a translation.
1: Fuck brown people
2: Fuck brown people
3: Listen to us, we're traditional conservatives and responsible adults who have no clue
4: Fuck the climate, more coal
5: Raise prices on everything you like
6: Fuck everything
7: More Christo-fascism
8: Less war, give Ukraine to Russia, kill all Palestinians and get it over with, and btw also fuck solar power because we're literally want to make a Mr Burns plot come true
9: Stop bringing all of us criminals to justice, it's mean
10: Fuck brown and black people
11: Fuck Democrats
12: More war
13: Even we have no idea what this really means
14: We had to put this there to keep old people voting for us, but really, fuck Medicare
15: Fuck the climate, more oil
16: Fuck education
17: Fuck trans people
18: Fuck education and also fuck brown people
19: Fuck democracy
20: MAGA
tldr:
Fuck everyone who is not us and fuck you, also vote for us

Sure it makes sense. The protestors won't be American people anymore after you strip them of citizenship.

And even today, Goldwater would be laughed out of the party for being too woke.
This is pretty awful, but a lot of people will flock to it.
Many Americans are not concerned with the "how" and instead are just looking to see that the government has similar priorities to them. On the surface, "Inflation bad, affordability good" is some simple-minded, braindead shit. But when a country's average reading comprehension and critical thinking level is 7th grade, this garbage works.
(Obviously, the racism, sexism, xenophobia, etc are embarrassingly vile too. I just didn't feel the need to mention it above.)

Watch Trump try them for Treason (i.e death penalty) and get away with it if so.
Wherever they like since court orders can't stop them and SCOTUS will thumbs-up.
Glad they posted a list full of things I have zero care or concerns about as their top priorities 😂
That's only because Project 2025 is getting the backlash it deserved. Still, we can't expect Trump and Republicans to keep those issue off the table if they gain more power.
'A Nation in SERIOUS DECLINE': GOP platform is an unhinged all-caps list of Trump lies
The Republican National Committee adopted the strangest document ever created and declared it the GOP's new official platform.www.usatoday.com
Republicans have posted their 2024 platform which is basically the "core values" of the party and President for the election and the talking points.
Whats interesting is what is NOT on the list anymore. Nothing about abortion, nothing about gay marriage. Allegedly Trump pushed to get both things off the previous platforms. It focuses heavily on immigration and the economy and ... building an iron dome around America???
It does look like something a toddler wrote but voters love toddlers...
This is insane, but I expected no less. Guess I'm losing funding for my district because I kick kids out of my library if they bully LGTBQIA+ students.

its more a not-so-subtle warning, if you are not a US citizen and you protest against Israel you will be deported.
Legally yeah US citizens couldn't get deported, just arrested and imprisoned. But it still sends the message that the might of the US federal government will come crushing down on you if you go out to protest, and after a few big arrests and a few deportations most people will be too scared to go out to protest anymore.
Did Trump just make an enemy out of Musk now...? I mean, that will hurt Tesla no...?
someone wrote it as if Trump himself wrote it, mainly to make him and his base happy

I believe the Iron Dome is not a physical giant dome but a bunch of missiles and other weapons deployed around the country that shoot down any incoming missiles. Israel already has it.
Its a bit weird though because who would be shooting missiles at America in mass quantities? If North Korea shot one they would get nuked. China would lose out on its biggest customer. I'm not sure why Russia would bother (and it would get nuked too). Does Trump know something about aliens we don't?

Yeah i clocked that too. We have been a massive net exporter on energy for over a decade now i think.
My brother-in-law highlighted that they're honestly looking into building a dome over the U.S. as their means of combating global warming. Whether that's true or not, I don't know.
But, I could believe Republicans being dumb enough to think that would "fix" it.
This simply means that particular statement is a lie, and only said because they're afraid of losing the older vote (of those who haven't retired yet. They've since said that people already retired would be grandfathered in)
Like look at the IVF talks going around. Caught between a rock and a hard place with their anti-abortion stance because they can't reconcile with the whole "life at conception" argument. We have some Repubs saying they support IVF while others like this chucklefuck:
at least being consistent with his life @ conception belief but it's apparently not a message Repubs at large want to wrestle with. The article stating things like Speaker Johnson wants it to remain at state level (like that's worked so well with abortion).
All that to say: I'm not surprised in the least there are contradictions with their actions in that list.
Not even pretending to care about the deficit anymore huh.
And the iron dome bit is hilarious because there's only one reason the US would need missile defenses, nukes.
If you have a 99% intercept rate you lose.
So they want a system that can 100% intercept hundreds of ICBM's each containing numerous nuclear warheads alongside countless decoys?
The scale and cost of such a project would be mind boggling

That's what my partner was telling me when I was talking to her about it. Y'know what would be more understandable in their case? NOT ALL CAPS! They mean 'Iron Dome™' and not 'iron dome.'
Congrats. It takes a really special dedication to have a whole platform dedicated to help America but not a single policy to help an american …well unless your a woman who wants her rights taken away or an immigrant'A Nation in SERIOUS DECLINE': GOP platform is an unhinged all-caps list of Trump lies

I do not understand why people don't make a bigger deal of this. It literally sounds like he's proposing deporting American citizens.
