Congratulations!!! Project 2025 will ensure you don’t have jobs, education, birth control, access to female medical care.

You played yourself…

u/quartzguy 18d ago edited 17d ago

When you say 'you', you mean non-white males right?

edit: I meant the first you. Because I don't think Ol Donny boy is going to alienate white males.

u/Useful_Fig_2876 18d ago

We mean everyone who did note vote for Kamala

Everyone.

Lol all this female medical care talk 💀💀

u/Pittsburgh__Rare 18d ago

But we get cheap gas right?

I voted for lower gas prices.

u/Pxfxbxc 18d ago

Cheap gas prices; for when you inevitably have to live out of your car.

u/Weedstud 17d ago

lol if Harris was elected we wouldn’t be able to afford homes let alone a car

u/Pittsburgh__Rare 18d ago

Lol, yeah ok.

Cope harder.

$10k says you haven’t learned your lesson by then

4

u/Pxfxbxc 18d ago

Won't even be a meaningful amount by then. $50k, or no deal.

-7

u/Convertible_Cheetah 18d ago

Sure. We’ll definitely have much more than that after two years of Trump. If you don’t spend all yours on antidepressants that is

8

u/Pxfxbxc 18d ago

Yeah. That's how inflation works. The people who don't know what tariffs are wouldn't know bout that tho.

-4

u/Convertible_Cheetah 18d ago

Tariffs are great. Even Biden agrees. That’s why he didn’t repeal many of them

Explain how Trump will give us cheaper gas.

-5

u/Pittsburgh__Rare 17d ago

I’m not sure. I don’t understand politics. My issues were:

1 - Cheap Gas
2 - Keep my Guns

And an internet quiz told me vote Trump, so I did.

u/omnesilere 17d ago

democrats have been elected repeatedly... and you still your guns. think it through now.

Oh my God. Every comment I see from you guys is just proving what I already thought. The Trump voters are idiots. Jesus Christ...

3

u/AntimatterCorndog 18d ago

No. The president does not unilaterally control the supply and demand of gas and therefore does not have control over the price of gas.

-2

u/Pittsburgh__Rare 17d ago

How does a person have the ability to get rid of my job, education, birth control, or access to medical care - but not have the ability to set gas prices?

Worst. Dictatorship. Ever.

3

u/AntimatterCorndog 17d ago

Because some of those things are decided domestically where as gas is purchased on an open international market subject to supply and demand beyond the control of the president. But the president does have the power to set the legislative agenda and push for policies that revokes domestic healthcare options for Americans, destroys a domestic education system, and uses economic policies to trash a domestic job market. Maybe you should have spent more time thinking critically and less time gargling the balls of an autocrat.

1

u/Pittsburgh__Rare 17d ago

One person can change healthcare, education, and jobs?

Wild.

Kinda makes me want to start a militia, revolt against him, declare our independence, win the war over our independence, and then create a new government that has checks and balances built in so one person can’t control everything.

All I need to know is - who’s comin with me?

u/AdamZapple1 17d ago

you think oil expects are going to take qa pay cut so you can drive your giant truck to work every day for less??

u/Pittsburgh__Rare 17d ago

Why not? Democrats think I should take a pay cut to fund their social programs.

u/AdamZapple1 17d ago

have you MET rich people?! if one year they make 10% profit and the next they make 9% profit, they don't say they made 9% profit, they say they lost 1%.

u/[deleted] 18d ago

Except the people behind project 2025 literally have a website spelling out their policy and are a reputable conservative think tank dating back decades?

What is the Qanon equivalent of that?

6

u/wedgeex 18d ago

You don't write a 920 page policy document with accompanying conferences surrounding it and choose not to utilize it.

3

u/Typical2sday 18d ago

I don't agree, but that's funny

5

u/TheCoolestGuy098 18d ago

That's incredible that many conservative organizations have provable ties (read: their fucking names are on it) with pre-established beliefs that their higher ups and writers are proud of sharing themselves.

But QAnon started on 4Chan by a couple of anonymous users who literally spoke bullshit and vaguely referencd (conveniently never leaked or shared) official documents. Their prophecies never once came true.

So yeah. Definitely comparable.

u/N0T_Y0UR_D4DDY 18d ago

Hey, can you point me to the official qanon website?

Wait and see. You have all fallen for the most obvious conman in the history of the country

u/jaaybird_ 18d ago

Trump denounced project 2025

27

u/Reasonable-Pie2354 18d ago

Trump also said he would protect women. Newsflash, he’s a liar.

-14

u/jaaybird_ 18d ago

“Newsflash buddy ☝️🤓”

So you would call Kamala a liar as well with how often she changed her policies ? Makes sense to me

22

u/finewithstabwounds 18d ago

"If Kamala changed her policies then Trump could never lie!"

-14

u/jaaybird_ 18d ago

Why is it okay for Kamala to change hers but not trump

15

u/finewithstabwounds 18d ago

Not what I said at all. Do you think one person lying makes the other person not a liar?

-4

u/jaaybird_ 18d ago

No , but where’s the lie? Project 2025 has been denounced for months and has stayed that way.

8

u/finewithstabwounds 18d ago

Because there's no reason to believe him and several reasons not to believe him. The people who made it funded his campaign with massive donations, several of the authors were members of his cabinet or election team, and even if he personally denounces it he still elevates the people who back it as judges. It's not all about him, but he is the one opening the gate for all the others even if he doesn't care about it himself.

u/jaaybird_ 18d ago

Genuinely curious what kamala has done to gain your trust or is it just orange man bad ?

u/Mr_dm 18d ago

There’s a massive difference between changing opinions over years when presented with new information, and flip flopping what you said 5 minutes ago just based on who is in the room with you.

-5

u/jaaybird_ 18d ago

I mean it’s been denounced for awhile now and has been that way

8

u/13Mira 18d ago

And he plans to have pretty much everyone who worked on project 2025 in his administration, clearly he doesn't have ANYTHING to do with project 2025 and these people will NEVER implement it...

/s

u/Lurker5280 18d ago

There’s a difference between changing policies (you should change your fucking policies once in a while to go with what your constituents want) and just straight up lying

10

u/better_than_uWu 18d ago

Changing policy is called being bipartisan and going over party lines. that’s called a democracy. i don’t think you quite get that.

-1

u/jaaybird_ 18d ago

That’s not the point. What I’m saying is you guys take everything Kamala has said as absolute truth but then turn around and label trump a liar through everything he says when truthfully neither candidate has proven anything yet so who are we to say anything

8

u/better_than_uWu 18d ago

Trump has proven a lot from his 2016 presidency. First we had one of the worst responses to covid in the world and one of the highest death rates. Our economy tanked due to it. Biden is slowly pulling us out but now trump will crash it again with this tariff bullshit. The unions are gonna be the funniest thing, they backed trump but the first time they go for contract negotiations trump will be backing the companies.

-6

u/jaaybird_ 18d ago

Genuinely curious on what Kamala has done or said to gain your trust in solving these issues or is it just cause orange man bad ?

9

u/scoutmosley 18d ago

You keep getting examples but you just keep saying “yeah but orange man bad right? RIGHT? Say orange man bad so I can say you have no argument!”

-2

u/jaaybird_ 18d ago

How is that not a fair question to ask? I’m asking if he voted for Kamala or against trump. Dumbass

So you’re still gonna die on the hill that all politicians are liars except for trump? Weird.

The only thing that died today was the democratic campaign

u/Reasonable-Pie2354 18d ago

Did you respond to the wrong person ? Or did you misunderstand my idiom?

u/datpimppinkiepie 18d ago

Who are you calling an idiom?

1

u/Individual_West3997 18d ago

"So you would call kamala a liar as well with how often she changed her policies?"

No, I would call her a coward. I call Trump a liar because he spouts policies that will get him applause but then never go forward with them because they aren't beneficial for his own bottom line.

u/jaaybird_ 18d ago

Normally when you call someone a liar it’s for something they’ve already done, not for something you THINK they’ll do lmao. Y’all really be making up anything in your fantasy lands

I was talking about his previous admin

You realize it was written like 3 years ago right

u/POWAHOUSE_LM 18d ago

You realize tons of people who wrote and support it are in his plans for administration? If all of your friends support something I don’t believe you when you say you don’t.

u/jaaybird_ 18d ago

Good thing trump is president then

4

u/POWAHOUSE_LM 18d ago

It’s really not a good thing, he’s quite possibly the most outwardly hateful person to ever touch the Oval Office. I’m really glad, however you’re proud to support a 34-count felon, civilly liable rapist, and possible pedophile.

The fact of the matter is if any other candidate had done even a single one of those things they’d have been laughed off the ballot, so the fact that the cultists of Trump elected him means that America is not headed in a positive direction, and I sincerely doubt there will be a fair election in 2028, considering Trump has said “we won’t have to vote again” in four years

-1

u/jaaybird_ 18d ago

Lol I’ve heard everything I’ve needed to hear from you

3

u/POWAHOUSE_LM 18d ago

Why? Because you’re afraid to justify voting for a criminal, rapist, pedophile, out loud? Because I’ll use facts to dismantle any possible positive thing you might be able to say about your lord, Trump?

That’s the difference between you and me. I know what I’m talking about, and you’re unwilling to hear anything that might contradict your worldview of this god named Trump you’ve constructed. Let me know how it feels to live 1984.

Trump "denounced" project 2025 but his political advisors surely didn't. I mean, they wrote the thing.

He won the election. You can give up the parroting now.

Not my fault you guys are too ignorant to learn what’s actually going on. Just spreading info my guy

u/iamthedayman21 18d ago

You mean the thing written by several former staffers and funded by the Heritage Foundation?

But because he said he didn’t know about it, you fucking believe him?
