Non-American here, heard about Project 2025 a few weeks ago.
For people unaware:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025#Policies
What is the likelihood of those policies to happen?
The last time they were in charge they didn’t have any plans and couldn’t come up with any.
Now they have a playbook to follow.
This is false. The Heritage Foundation released a Mandate for Leadership for 2016 and Trump implemented 64% of it in his first year - see https://www.heritage.org/impact/trump-administration-embraces-heritage-foundation-policy-recommendations
I suspect this is why the 2025-equivalent reaches much further - they know they have a guy who will push their shit through, and it’s going to happen like a fucking trainwreck.
Wow. I thought he didn’t change anything much last time.
Then you’re stupid.
Maybe they’ll misinterpret it like their other book.
there were some plans… remember the wall? and how that never happened? i’m trying so desperately to hold onto the hope all this will go the same way
Depends on the part of the project. Some of it absolutely will. Some of it definitely won’t.
Many things would require Congress to approve, and it’s unlikely those that have to face reelection would just go for it.
It’s looking like the Republicans will control the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government. They are going to jam anything they want through in the next two years and use the stacked supreme court to keep it in place for the next 30.
The checks and balances are gone.
I’d say it’s 100% likely.
This is the guy who tried, and partially succeeded, to ban Muslims after all.
it’ll depend entierly on their ability to implement, i mean they’ll try but they only seem good at tax cuts. remember infrastructure week? and (hopefully) less people are willing to fall for the adult in the room enablement. if they go after the right to unionize right out of the gate, we need to wake the fuck up right away to the reality that theres no reasoning with them, or we’re fucked. i mean we’re probably still fucked, and a lot of people are going to get hurt. but we might make it to having midterms with union engagement. im not ready for molitivcocktial hour while theres a chance to put organized labor at the center of democtrats powerbase again.
The landslide means Republicans are favored to take the House again. So… pretty good, depending on whether Johnson and Thune can get all their little ducklings in a row.
Of course, Republicans have a long and storied history of getting into office and then immediately ratfvcking one another. So, we’ll see what they actually get done versus what they bicker to death. Can the GOP even get a Speaker nominated properly this time?
Do we even know what would happen if there is no speaker by the time the Congress votes to ratify the EC votes on Jan 6? Can they do it later, or does that push it into a contingent election?
What if the GOP can’t get the House in order by Jan 20? Can the Senate still vote for a contingent VP if the House is dysfunctional? I’d laugh if Vance ends up President because the GOP House is full of children.
First order of business is an executive order that replaces thousands of federal employees with sycophants. With the house, the Senate, and supreme Court all red, trump is America now.
It’s a foregone conclusion.
Yeah, it’s all red. But are you sure they can all agree on which shade of red they are? Because I still think it’s possible that there will be infighting.
One thing GOP does well is get the rank in file in line. Dems could use a lesson in that.
I take it you’ve completely ignored the House of Representatives for the last two years? Those skills have not been on display there.
Our only hope is Trump dies before inauguration. These things tend to fall apart once the figurehead dies.
There is a small chance the bit T’s ego leads him away from being told what to do, and following plans.
This is my hope. We get a half assed version of it implemented cause Trumps ego gets in the way. If trump dies and Vance takes over. Lol. We are fucked.
He’ll do what Putin tells him to.
So far, he did - but just hoping maybe whatever blackmail P has on T won’t work any more … as he’s got the votes (for the last time), also it seems mud just doesn’t stick as more was revealed about his past deals with women and other dodgy business. They both follow the recipe book from 1930s germany, but that doesn’t lead to peace.
I honestly think this will be the last time we have an election. It’s looking like he could possibly take the house, Senate is already red. Likely control of all 3 chambers. Our systems of checks and balances likely won’t survive the next 2 years.
The man has outright said he would be a dictator on day one and would make his enemies pay.
1776-2024. RIP America’s experiment in democracy.
I think youre being a little dramatic. Itll last till at least 2025
Time for people to learn to fight the system outside of elections. Strikes, protests, mutual aid, propaganda/education, and, last resort, guns.
Don’t forget art! Arguable the most effective tool at our disposable to shift the way humanity thinks.
Lmdao.yeah. Tell Gazans to make some art too. I’m sure that’ll work out great for them…
True! Especially since it’s often really good at making you feel something.
The art of throwing bricks and using angle grinders as skeleton keys.
In other words, we’re fucked.
With a trifecta? Pretty much 99% likely. Unless Trump just loses focus and doesn’t actually do anything for the first two years and we can take that back from him in the midterms.
Things are only going to get more terrifying from here.
