Revealed? Did no one read Project 2025m
Honestly, it felt like reading Alice in wonderland on crack. By the time I got to the end it was all so fucking crazy I couldn't remember most of what was in it
Nobody reads anything longer than a paragraph, nobody watches anything longer than a youtube short linked on facebook.
We are here because we allowed comfort and convenience to rot all our collective brains. We are all accountable, we all had a role to play, even if tiny. We could have rallied together, we could have pushed community action and worked harder to preserve progressive ideology. We could have stopped giving so much freedom to the people trying to take away all our freedom. We could have stopped buying shiny new phones and cars and demanded products that last and union protections for our workers.
But no, we thought it was funny when 4channers started screaming about how evil feminists were and laughed it off instead of having their nests burnt down and we instead started our decades-long obsession scrolling for dopamine instead of involving ourselves with the people who run our communities.
If we had claimed the flag, if we had been the ones screaming about our rights to own guns and how we wanted to make america great, if we had been the ones getting arrested for plowing our cars into groups of nazis, we would be the ones with the muscle right now setting social policy. But just saying that is probably setting off some of ya'll and that's what the problem is.
I promise you, the other side isn't balking at rhetoric like that and are actively encouraging it, and have won every round because of it.
"Nobody reads anything longer than a paragraph, nobody watches anything longer than a youtube short linked on facebook."
very true, person who shared a big wall o' text.
what's the TLDR?
You never heard of YouTube summaries or are you too smart for that?
Idc what you have to say with that shitty 'im smarter than everyone else' attitude. You're not.
Not sure how much I can trust that source. And no right-winger will ever accept it either.
Anyone with a more direct link to a source about this?
Agreed, that article was kind of a mess., and you really have to already agree with it to stay along for the ride. Even as someone who shares their general perspective, I can't help but to get the same vibe as I do reading unhinged conservative outlets, just from a different side. The wiring style evokes a feeling more of unsubstantiated unhinged conspiracy theory than a concrete writeup.
A lot of time is spent name dropping organizations and you have to already know them to have any idea why you might want to care about them, but not saying concretely what exactly it is, just that it is hard right nonsense that every acronym they can mention is outraged over. They even name drop the UAW in a way that lets them type it in but without citing then on the actual current reality, because the UAW hasn't really come out against Trump.
When it gets to describing the actual "plan", it mostly still didn't explain exactly what it is talking about. It eventually gets to concretely mentioning two precise things, the requirement to prove citizenship in way that may be disproportionately difficult for people who had a name change, and an onerous voting certification. The rest of the elements are left too vague to try to understand.
This article may help keep up the attention and energy of folks already keeping up with this stuff, but anyone vaguely on a fence won't make it through the first paragraph without getting a bit skeptical, and almost certainly won't make it to the meat of the article before giving up and moving on to other articles.
Funny, the moment I read 'radical right' I got the exact same sense you did.
JuSt VoTe NeXt TiMe!!!
And every time I tell people we won't get a vote they laugh at me. Holy fuck, people just don't get how severe and horrible this administration is. We can't remove them for abuse of law, we can barely counter their worst abuses just to have them win in the end, and we're about to have them as dictators for life with no voting.
I honestly think the only solution is to leave this damned country. But guess what, unless you have a decent amount of money, that's out, too.
We're fucked
The problem is so much worse than voting. The last two election cycles showed the highest turnout of voters and young voters in recorded American history.
The problem was not that nobody voted, the problem was the voters had no idea what was going on or who to vote for because all our collective brains have scrolled right out our ears and people have atomized perspectives and don't interact with each other anymore, allowing our nation to curdle, to fester into a million little sub-groups where you face no challenges, no backlash, no accountability and your every delusion will have a fanbase.
We did all this while POURING money into the industrial complexes that only seek to sell you marginally better products that fall apart of become obsolete within a few years, powering the corporations that own our politicians.
The average median voter has no idea what's real or not, has no interest in policy, has no idea how policy even works or what our branches of government are, and has been scrolling for so long that they don't know how to be alone with their own thoughts. That's why Trump and his ilk are shredding the country apart right now. We didn't fight the idiots hard enough because we weren't social and involved enough to make them feel shame. We could have used shame as our mightiest weapon because they are radically insecure and scared of being shamed, but apparently our side was equally scared, so the dumb billionaires with too much wealth to even feel shame won out in the end.
Your country has more guns than people. Do something about it.
It has more guns than people because everyone that would shoot and kill for Trump has 13 guns.
Holy fuck, people just don't get how severe and horrible this administration is.
People used to say that Steve Jobs had a reality distortion field, but I think Trump is a thousand times worse.
It's so bad and the standards are so different between him and just about anybody else, sometimes the 0.01% chance that he's the world's best actor rather than an idiot and/or Russian asset scares me even more.
Yes, I don't think Trump will lead America to a better life, he will only lead the rich to a richer position, so we need to seize the opportunity to make ourselves rich
"...So far, other than the report itself, by the Brennan Center for Law and Justice at New York University, there’s been little—or little-noticed—response. "
You heard it here first folks. PeoplesWor|d is sharing some groundbreaking news that nobody else is even willing to report!
Trump: convicted rapist, pedophile, misogynistic swine. Also failed businessman, pathological liar, corrupt to all hell. Sellout to Russia and the Nazis.
Harris: didn't condemn Israel.
Fuck off 'both sides'-ers
This this this this this this this this.
I have zero goddamn sympathy for any so-called "leftist" who didn't vote for Kamala. You have condoned neo-facism to stroke your own ego. No two ways about it. At least now they get to enjoy the fruits of their labor. Tell me, how's that self-righteousness taste?
You can't call yourself a "leftist" and vote for a conservative neo-liberal for president. There's no two ways about it. Saying otherwise is just a conservatives way of stroking their own ego. By undermining the leftist vote, you have condoned neo-fascism to stroke your own ego. At least neo-liberals now get to enjoy the fruits of their labor for creating this situation. Tell me, how does your own self-righteousnous taste?
-see, i can do it too.
I decided I'd rather die than vote for genocide.
Looks like I'll get my wish. I'm fine with that.
You can make the point about trump being a criminally weirdo pervert fake businessman without misrepresenting (and therefore failing to learn from) the 2024 election.
Harris kicked tent poles out of the Big Tent(tm). This includes immigration (low latino turnout). It seems unserious to say it was just the blind eye to Israel's genocide that lost the election, i haven't seen a piece of evidence that bore out the genocide as Kamala's sole reason for losing the popular vote.
Its also the case that republicans spend literally billions more on media and it leads to them dominating online spaces with pure spam. Online posting is never a substitute for knocking on doors, a thing the Kamala campaign failed to do sufficiently.
DNC apologists always being like "well they were trying to recruit more bigots" and then act surprised when the bigots and their overwhelming piles of media cash chase voters out of the Big Tent
A vote for Trump is a vote to end America. It really is that simple. If there is one thing I hope future generations rally around and condemn is Trump voters. I hope they are shamed for eternity.
Harris assured Trump voters that nothing would fundamentally change. The Democratic party is sitting on their thumbs while the fascists are taking over. Electoral politics don't save us from fascism.
Why are separating russia and israel? Both are fascist states.
Oh, you didn't get the memo? Everyone has always opposed Israel now.
The democrats had a choice between genocide and curbing fascism. Your savior party chose to starve kids over halt fascism. Why are "tankies" obligated to respect your bizarre utility calculation, but Kamala and the democrats are not?
What is your red line? Assuming in 30 years, when the choice is between a candidate who wants 9 genocides and a candidate who wants 10, will you still be militantly democrat? Is there no point at which you would start to call into question your genocidal, fascist, enslaving government?
Yeah supporting genocide makes you unpopular crazy! surprise surprise fascism lite wont beat fascism. Kamala Harris will never beat Trump sorry
You are still here at this discussion in 2025? I don’t get it man, I really don’t.
Did you understand that Harris was giving you a little treat just to continue a genocide? I guess by your comment that you are fine if those brown kids starve as long as you can still buy your favourite triple mcburger. Right? (͡•_ ͡• )
Your single-issue principles contributed to us being stuck again with Trump.
And guess what? The kids are starving even worse now, and being gunned down, when they're not being bombed. You must be really proud of yourself.
You realize that you openly condone the rise the rapid spread of neo-fascism with the strawman argument of a single flawed foreign policy, right? (͡•_ ͡• )
I guess outward fascism towards the 3rd world, and inward fascism towards the USA's own population seem like different things to you.
Trump's doing both, while Kamala sure as hell would have ensured the former.
We cannot live this contradiction in the USA anymore. Freedom and diversity for Americans means freedom and diversity for all humans. I'm so sick and tired of centrist liberals defending this corrupt USA that perpetuates the enslavement of the third world.
I guess outward fascism towards the 3rd world, and inward fascism towards the USA's own population seem like different things to you.
Whatever bullshit you have to tell yourself to sleep at night.
There's no such thing as "inward" or "outward" fascism. You're just making shit up.
It's just fascism, and your inaction has directly led to it. Well done.
Edit: here's one lovely reply to this comment that was removed. Totally normal. And let's be clear, I have not denied nor supported any genocide, I simply said that fascism is fascism and you don't break it into "internal" and "external", and this is what someone feels they need to say to me:
God I want to feel the hardness of your skull as I punch you repeatedly again and again, ignoring you painal scream as I fucking stab you over and over.
Genociders deserve death.
Here's their profile: https://thelemmy.club/u/wowAnotherPos
Normal stuff. Comment is deleted, but still has 2 points.
This is because I'm angry at people who refused to vote for Kamala. That means I deserve to be violently stabbed to death apparently.
Trump’s doing both, while Kamala sure as hell would have ensured the former
Harris would've continued status quo, yes. But Trump wants to accelerate it. He wants all Palestinians out of Gaza so he can build a beach resort where their homes used to be. There is a non-zero chance of American boots on ground to help clear out any remaining Palestinians.
I’m so sick and tired of centrist liberals defending this corrupt USA that perpetuates the enslavement of the third world.
Luckily thanks to you and others like you they lost. Yay! Good job!
Now what?
Anyone who is surprised hasn’t been paying attention.
I'm surprised it took them a few months to realise, it was obvious since before the election
I believe this is right, I am never surprised by this, for Trump anything is possible
The article says the constitution say a president can't change voting rules, but this president has the house, the senate and the judges.
Which he probably only has control of because of voter fraud
True, but now who's going to do anything about it?
He doesn't give a shit about the constitution. He'll just have the slimy ratfucks around him sort it out and then take all the credit for it. It'll be a "big, beautiful amendment" or some dumb shit that both amuses the smooth-brained among us and gives the media phrase they'll parrot with zero irony or pushback.
If you are at all surprised by this I got some beach front property in Montana to sell you.
Give it a few decades and you might actually have that.
I mean, Montana has lakes and lakes have beaches...
Fucking Russia and CCP run China in the USA. That is some 3rd World crap right there and the Blue States should tell Canada to annex them ASAP.
You deserve it
Beginning to question the inherent wisdom of "Normal transition of power" when Biden handed the keys of the kingdom to a guy who openly planned to lock all the doors and shoot the next guy elected to walk through them.
But hey, I guess it would have been against the rules not to meekly empower a fascist dictatorship.
I love these comments that always place the blame on Biden, instead of you know, the actual fucking fascists. JFC.
I think it is because you can't reason with these idiot fascists, but we could have reasoned with Biden.
For the record, the "actual fucking fascists" didn't materialize during this last election, or the one before it, or the one before it.. etc. I remember when the dems campaigned on "no human is illegal" in 2016 but by time of this last cycle, they were capitulating on immigration and the border to attract the elusive moderate republican to vote democrat.. a strategy that failed our democracy in the end.
Probably what will happen is anyone who might challenge them will suddenly be arrested on Trumped-Up charges.
I hope you are being cheeky by saying 'beginning to', it was immensely obvious this was the plan going back to, at bare minimum, about a year before the election, when Trump just kept saying he was gonna serve 3 terms, his supporters wouldn't have to vote again, etc.
I disagree with Biden's handling of the transition, but it's definitely internally consistent with his beliefs. He really, really wanted the global rule of law to work.
I would not be surprised if part of the intention here was to maintain legitimacy during the initial transfer, so that when the monsters refuse to do the same, it will lend legitimacy to a global response to assist the people in reclaiming their democracy.
Now, you could also call that 'passing the buck' and... Well, yes. He did seem to do too much of that, imo. Or not enough, depending on how you look at it.
He really, really wanted the global rule of law to work.
Hence backing Al Qaeda in Syria, fleecing Afghanistan of it's currency reserves to kick off a famine, propping up a military dictatorship in The Philippines, all while continuing a 70 year old illegal blockade of Cuba? Never even mind the Holocaust in Gaza.
Come on, dude. The US has always been playing Calvinball with Rule of Law. If Biden made noises about it, that's just him delivering the company line one last time to the liberal rubes.
when the monsters refuse to do the same, it will lend legitimacy to a global response to assist the people in reclaiming their democracy.
That's pure cope.
Biden bent over backwards for the Silicon Valley mega-donors practically from day one, and they took full advantage until he was used up and disposed of.
He wasn't secretly plotting a resistance movement, he was carving up the country in advance so that Trump could sell it off easier.
He really, really wanted the global rule of law to work.
No, Biden did not. He actively broke it by financing Israel's genocide against international and domestic law.
So what. You wanted a dictatorship to stop a dictatorship. Once the normal transition of power is not followed its game over for our democracy.
Once the normal transition of power is not followed its game over for our democracy.
Once people who've sworn to end democracy are given the power to end democracy, then it's game over for democracy.
Preventing a corrupt criminal who's a known agent of a hostile foreign powers from becoming president is a healthy thing to do.
Congratulations, you just discovered the paradox of tolerance.
And, yeah, essentially, in order to survive, a democratic society cannot allow those who seek to destroy it to participate in the democratic process.
You wanted a dictatorship to stop a dictatorship.
Given the current state of affairs, I'm not clear how a Permanent Biden-o-cracy was supposed to be worse.
Once the normal transition of power is not followed its game over for our democracy.
Well, thank god we don't officially lose our Democracy for another eighteen months.
I wanted the traitor coward Merrick Garland to do his motherfucking job and prosecute that POS and throw him in federal prison while making him completely unable to appear on any ballot.
Thanks for asking.
It has always been a dictatorship of the rich.
This is just taking the mask off.
That's right, if it's allowed to happen, it's pretty hard to come back from that
You wanted a dictatorship to stop a dictatorship.

biden was happy as long as netanyahu was happy.
"How dare you break the laws - we should have broken the laws to stop you from breaking the laws."
This, but unironically.
All Biden needed to do was have Trump assassinated - as an official presidential action, it would have been perfectly legal according to Trump's precedent.
Follow that up with a "Y'all see why this is maybe not the greatest idea to give the ol' prez this much power? Repeal it, then I'ma fuck off to some beach somewhere."
Boom. Democracy saved, all without breaking the law.
How would it have been breaking the law? According to the Supreme Court long before the election, any act a President does while in office is legal.
Just because something is legal doesn't make it right, and just because it's illegal doesn't mean that it's the right thing to do. It's illegal to donate or hand out food from your garden to the homeless - as pertains to the law stating that it's illegal to provide a better service than the government.
What do you mean "revealed" as if this is news? I thought this was the plan the whole fucking time.
That's why I've started calling the country the Fascist States of America.
AmeriKa, replace the "c" with a capital "K"
Ive been trying for a chinamerica kind of thing. It hits a little harder to magats. And its really easy to draw the comparisons now.
Traditionally, it should be the Democratic People's Republic of America.
The Ussa
Have you found this approach to be effective in any way at anything at all?
it's important to call it what it is.
diagnosing a disease isn't the cure. but an important step up take to cure it
What is in this article that we didn't already know? Is there any new legislation in process of being passed? This just sounds like the same playbook we used for the 2024 election to me.
This is what Alligator Auschwitz is really for.
America, your opportunity to stop this is narrowing and walking around with signs once a month on a weekend isn't gonna do it.
Every week, more people show up. I’m involved in local politics besides.
You’re slamming people for being involved. They are doing something being out there.
Forming connections at low stakes events like protests is exactly what people need to do. That lot talks like anyone who doesn't buy an AK and a red beret first thing is just wasting time.
I don’t think people understand what fascism really is. Fascism doesn’t obey the rule of law at all, it is fascism especially if it fights it. Once a fascist raise to power, you’re done, marching is useless now. Only guns.
It’s time for Americans to repay the world for all the horrendous atrocities they committed and show the world they are not like this. If they won’t, collapse is the right price to pay.
And please stop cry, none of the country you invaded “exporting democracy” whined like this. It’s really pathetic, especially because you did it to yourself, no invading country needed. Get your guns and start shooting.
I'm not slamming people for being involved. I'm slamming them for being ineffectual. A sign isn't going to stop a determined fascist.
thanks for the support
It's a civil war.
only one side is fighting though.
That's what they've been counting on. From over a year ago...
Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts said that the country is in the midst of a “second American Revolution” that will be bloodless “if the left allows it to be.”
Decent people will object, republicans will cream their pants.
trump is getting more and more desperate as the days go on, when epstein files arnt released, and mounting pressure and more evidence showing up about his pedophelia, the tariffs arnt really distracting as it use to be, Also its not like elections were free or fair to begin with, significant tampering has been done by the gop on local,state and presidential for a while.
Trump figured out that there is nothing he cannot do. A little boo hop from the public and everybody moves on. He has proved that he is above the law and he damn well knows it. The 2nd greatest cult in history gives so much power to its leader and he knows it. Only Congress has power collectively to stop him and they already checked out of all morality and righteous authority in USA government a long time ago.
Guys. Come to terms with this. Just as the world came to terms with it 80 years ago with Germany. We are heading down that tunnel there is only one outcome of this. It gets much much worse before the actual tipping point happens.
I don't want to live in the world after that event. It will take decades to rebuild, if not centuries for the nuclear toxicity to return to safe levels.
MAGAts are traitors so I would expect nothing less.
No shock there. He told his supporters they'd never have to vote again.
Buy guns. Buy ammo. Help others acquire guns and ammo.
Train. Help others train.
Form networks.
Let's say 500 of your closest neighbors and friends all buy AR-15s with the best optics money can buy and all the green tips you can eat. And you all secretly spend 60 hours a week drilling in modern combat.
What are you going to do against a tank? Or a jet? Or just artillery fire? And "hit and run" tactics don't work when there are cameras on every street corner and it is a trivial problem to track people back to their suburbs.
If The Right To Bear Arms were actually a threat to those in power then you can be damned sure it would have been repealed faster than a kindergartener can cry for their parents.
Resistance is important and I recommend you go to protests and actually talk with the organizers. No, not the ones who are thinking up catchy slogans or what cool costumes everyone can wear. The old hats. The ones who are actually pulling people however many steps back from the curb they need to be or who are looking for idiots with guns who will get everyone killed. Make some friends and go from there.
But all you are doing with "buy guns and train" is the same bullshit that republicans have been getting off on for decades. White people get to take hostages and occupy buildings. But in the eyes of the fascists? We're all n*****s.
What are you going to do against a tank? Or a jet? Or just artillery fire? And “hit and run” tactics don’t work when there are cameras on every street corner and it is a trivial problem to track people back to their suburbs.
I agree with everything except this. Those cameras are getting smashed day one. Jets and artillery are very unlikely to happen in our scenario here. APCs and AFVs? Oh absolutely, and we don't even need to have the military for that, even your podunk PD has armored vehicles now. But they're not as durable as a tank. Wheeled ones are more susceptible to mobility kills. Building dragon's teeth and porcupines isn't hard. And there are plenty of IED and urban warfare guides available, even from the US military...
People who push this kind of thinking still think warfare is carried out and progresses like it did in the Napoleonic era: two orderly opposed fronts clashing head-to-head in theaters with well-defined boundaries - where the adversary with more guns/people/resources win. Because more guns/people directly equates to military power, right?
These folks would do well to spend even the slightest amount of time learning about fourth generational, guerilla war. The fact that bullets ping off of tank armor does not disprove guerilla war.
Let's take this meme back a couple hundred years and cast you as a counter revolutonary American at the onset of the revolutonary war.
/*Wants to have muskets to fend off british empire
/*british empire:
Starts to seem silly when you realize even our founding fathers were doing guerilla warfare not long ago.
What are you going to do against a tank? Or a jet? Or just artillery fire?
I'm going to say the same thing I say to everyone that brings this up thinking they've hit on some infallible logic.
Small arms are all you need to eliminate people at the top of command structures, thus collapsing those command structures. A sniper named Simo Häyhä had over 500 confirmed kills during WW2. His job was basically to find and kill officers. He survived the war. You can also look at the Vietnam War. The U.S. was technologically superior to the Vietnamese. We still lost and went home without our mission accomplished. Same thing in the Middle East. Never actually accomplished our goals. Went home. Because it's really hard to deal with enemies using guerilla tactics with typical firearms.
You don't seem to understand that protests, while important, don't make fascists stop being fascists. Force has always been required to put down fascist movements. If this goes far enough there will come a time when protests don't matter, at all. When that time comes are you gonna let a fascist put a bullet through the back of your skull or are you gonna pick up a firearm and do something? Can't do that if you don't have firearms. Can't do that if you haven't trained. Can't do that alone.
If this escalates far enough and people don't do as I suggested, there will be no resistance beyond protests, which won't be enough.
Not gonna happen, unless of course you want to start to see shit break down.
Yes, I believe this is something that will never happen
Fuuuuck the empire. I’m not going to war for any of these twats.
get your weapons ready
They were revealed in 2021.
Arguably as early as 2016.
The economic crash if that happens is going to be sweet.
Economic crash is happening anyway
I'd be an 'optimist' if I could catch up with them, but they are moving the goal posts too fast.
Link seems to be broken for me…
Fixed
Thank you tankies for putting your feelings above the national grave threat all to feel morally superior.
I don't see how tankies are to blame for the overwhelming majority of our country's most powerful people deciding that they support a fascist coup.
Even if we pretend that 2024 was a free and fair election, the electorates that could've swung it weren't bastions of non-voting authoritarian socialists.
Trump still would have won in 2024 even if everyone had turned out to vote
Also, how screwed do your priorities have to be to think you’re living in a country in the middle of a fascist takeover and also that a good use of your or anyone else’s time is to blame people who agree with you, who also could not have prevented this? Crab bucket shit.
You know that are other countries in the world right? And now the MAJORITY of the countries in the world hate the US?
So… yes my feelings are above your pathetic puppet state and I feel way way morally superior than bombing civilians and blackmail the world into agreeing with me. Yes.
You’re welcome.
"tankie" truly does just mean "anyone to the left of the Democrats"
by tankie you mean Kamala Harris and the DNC?
Requiring ID to be able to vote should not be a hot take
Thats why other countries are doing it that way. The problem is, that the US system makes it very difficult to get an ID for its long list of undesireables. And with that I mean everyone, who is not white, heteronormative, cis and not-poor. If the US fixes these problems and issues IDs for every of its citizens, then requiring the ID for voting is a good idea. Unfortunately that is a big big If, carrying a lot of weight.
I've never lived somewhere you need an ID to vote. It's far from universal.
It's roughly how it works elsewhere. I was surprised to see that you don't need an id or a document to vote there.
Yeah, I don't get that one either. Granted, I'm not registered or ever plan to vote unless/until direct democracy exists, but how do they determine if you're in the right district, precinct, etc. without confirming your identity? I would think that making sure people are doing things correctly and fairly would be a thing most people that aren't trying to cheat the system would want.
It's because we don't have a FREE federal ID. There is no mechanism by which someone with no money can get any identification paperwork. If that were possible, I agree requiring an ID would be good, but until then it just weeds out the poorest.
I'm not registered or ever plan to vote unless/until direct democracy exists,
Fucking stupid
Sorry but as you are a non-voter, your opinion doesn't matter.
You could be drawing the most detailed genitalia on your voting ballot, but you've missed some hairy opportunities, I feel sorry for you man/ma'am
Because it's a barrier to voting that disproportionately disadvantages poor people.
Elections are safe and secure. This was established in 2020, so there is nothing to see here.
I don't think that degree of optimism is justified.
My notes on this are a little old, but:
No VRA protections, voter purges/caging (Crosscheck), targeted disenfranchisement & gerrymandering, insecure/unauditable voting machines, undermined census, and gaming the electoral college, all impact the fairness of our elections, on top of the naive first-past-the-post implementation.
no, no, this was established in 2020. SAFE AND SECURE! Don't be an election denier!
