  1. They fully deserve to wear their crown of thorns.

    Why would Democrats ever want to let them throw their icky thing away after they’ve spent so long working on it?

    Put that shit on the fridge, girl! Be proud of your heritage and the shitty opinions that got you to where you are now, Republican’ts!

    Donald Trump is a fraud and liar.

    > “I have nothing to do with Project 2025,” Trump countered.

    >“That’s out there. I haven’t read it. I don’t want to read it, purposely. I’m not going to read it,” he continued. “This was a group of people that got together, they came up with some ideas, I guess some good, some bad, but it makes no difference.”

    >Democrats, however, aren’t buying that argument — and want to make sure voters don’t either. They’re quick to point out that the coalition of conservatives behind the project include groups that are led by former Trump administration officials, some of whom are expected to join Trump’s team again if he wins another term. That list includes Russell Vought, who served as Trump’s head of the Office of Management and Budget, and Stephen Miller, a former Trump speechwriter and senior adviser.

    >“In swing states I think people are concerned about it — about the radicalness and extremeness of the agenda, and whether some of those people would be part of a Trump administration,” Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) said. “Even if Trump didn’t write it, is he going to be hiring those types of people?”

  3. Exactly.

    And considering that Trump’s campaign appears to be on the verge of self destruction because of Laura Loomer…

  4. Democrats are raising awareness of reality. That used to be the media’s job, but they failed us, this headline case in point

    So they should. GOP needs to be routed on all levels so they can exorcize the MAGA stain from their party

  6. Wife was telling me people at her job are now saying it’s Biden and Harris who is pushing project 2025 and making America into Handsmaid Tale. It’s weird.

    Maga fascist Trumpers wrote it. It’s Trump who’s running from it. The dems are simply stating facts.

  8. * JD Vance literally wrote part of the book on it. Does he not agree with books he writes intros for…?

    * The Heritage Foundation also held Trump’s hand and walked him through appointing staff and positions in 2016 when he didn’t even know he needed to, and he happily let them. The main thing in their Project 2025 is about replacing federal staff. Yeah, the exact thing *Trump already trusted them personally with in the past*

    * The most dangerous part of it, Schedule F, is something Trump already began at the end of his first term so 100% objectively endorses.

    * Like 80% or something of Project 2025 is staffed by people from the first Trump administration…

  9. >In closed-door strategy sessions on Capitol Hill, they’ve hosted outside experts to brief lawmakers on the various policies contained in Project 2025. The coaching campaign is designed to help Democrats navigate the lengthy document — which runs for roughly 900 pages — and educate members about its more controversial components. The aim is for lawmakers to then relay that information to voters when they return home for town halls and other district events.

    This seems like a great strategy. Congresspeople who know their districts will be able to focus on talking about the aspects of Project 2025 that matter most to their communities.

    I love that they have finally managed to turn the Heritage Foundation highly toxic for the general voter. 30 years late but late is better than never.
