At minimum 4% of USA citizens are complete monsters with hate in their hearts. It’s actually much higher, but for sure we say that 4% are awful people.

This sums up the recent election results in the German states Brandenburg, Thüringen and Sachsen, unfortunately.

I highly recommend that book. Lays out the problems with RWAs (right wing authoritarians).

More than that, the percentage of voters who opposed ending segregation was surprising.

I suppose we could start with 'the states that literally fought a war and killed their countrymen to keep humans as pets', though there's spillover.

There's also apparently an audiobook recording on YouTube, for if you wanna be mad while exercising or something.

This should be amended to say that “Republicans support Project 2025, look it up”

2

Agreed, but there are a lot of low-information voters out there who have probably never heard of it because they don't follow political news closely.

That really depends.. if I gave you a drink with a 4pct chance you'd die an agonizing death.. would you drink it?

We should take that 4% and put them on a remote island. We don't need to bother shipping over food, I'm sure their God will provide it for them and they'll all get to live in a blissful paradise.

If Trump doesn't want to join the next debate it should be Kamala Harris arguing point to point against Project 2025 during the time slot. I would watch that.

She should also spend some time tying Project 2025 to dimbulb donnie, too. He keeps claiming he "doesn't know her" when it comes to Project 2025, but that's nonsense.

Project 2025 has a 57% unfavorable rating, but the party that endorses it does not.

Curious.

Fans of the Leopards Eating Faces Party don't like it when it's their faces being threatened.

(They'll still vote for them, though.)

15

Well yeah, they want to eliminate the fucking national weather service. Project 2025 is a plan to stop governing and begin ruling.

27

The other 39% view it unfavorably but don't have the spine to speak out against their own party when they know the poll results will be publicized.

26

Or they view it favorably, but don't have the spine to say the quiet part out loud because people would correctly label them as fascist monsters.

who are the effing 4%? I could see maybe 1% but less than one percent of that group would gain from it.

The 4% are the ones who think it will help them until it is their turn to be the ones shit on.

15

Indeed, they wouldn't have to do their jobs. They could just arrest anybody on the assumption their mere existence is a crime... and thanks to Project 25, they'd probably be right.

The lizardfolk brigade.

In 2016, 96% of UKIP membership voted for (some version of) Brexit - their raison d'etre. 4% is a typical fraction of any group to be chaotically bonkers.

oh man I remember brexit. was working with this guy from the UK and gave him so much shit and then just a bit later trump was elected.

No link to the poll, data, or polling methodology anywhere in the article. Does Newsweek still hire journalists?

And yet when piecemealed liberals and Republicans will completely embrace the aspects of project 2025. The same way they're doing KOSA which originated with the HF

Your submission count is 53.59% of Alyson Kennedy’s 2020 presidential campaign’s votes so far.

It’s 0.0045% of Biden’s 2020 votes.

So see? You have nothing to worry or be mad about!

Also, did you count the submissions I just posted a few minutes ago?

Please update your stats because I'm going to post some more stuff right now. Thank you for thinking about me every day, friend!

Good on ya for respecting mods, but bruh, not everyone here who is not voting for harris, is paid to post by someone. Actually about half of the country isn't voting for Harris. And they're not getting paid to dislike her.

That's true. But...

We know there is an extensive campaign by the Russian government to divide the left and attempt to get Trump re-elected. And given the nature of our current electoral system, there are only a few reasons why someone would try to get people not to vote for Harris:

  • They are an honest Trump supporter. Fine. I disagree vehemently, of course, but such is life.
  • They are a true-believing third-party supporter. Very rare, given the low numbers for fringe candidates from third parties. Of course, these people are incredibly naive, because they don't understand how third parties in a FPTP election system empower their own ideological opposition, but at least they're honest, too.
  • They are a Trump supporter, but not honest, and for whatever reason, they consider it morally and ethically acceptable to misrepresent themselves and try to get folks on the left playing a game of "let's you and him fight."
  • They are a paid actor. I think this is the majority of the supposed leftists posting vehemently and continuously against Harris, while ignoring the grotesque abomination and clear threat to the country that is Trump.

I mean that. I think the majority of people playing that particular game are paid to. Doesn't mean they all are, of course, but it's impossible to ignore the massive uptick in content from them right now, especially from shiny new accounts and from accounts that have been mostly inactive until now. There just aren't that many third-party true believers or Republicans who want to spend all day, every day, pretending to be abrasive leftists.

There just aren’t that many third-party true believers

Me and most of the people in my social circle. Look at the campaigns of socialist Claudia De la Cruz and the crowds of people showing up at her demonstrations. You think most of those people are getting paid?

And how do you think people just magically get paid to start posting articles? The reason I am asking is because I get accused of this DAILY. lol

-15

Glad to see you're finally coming around and realizing how paranoid it was starting to sound, accusing so many people of being Russian agents or being paid by them. Whew! Thanks, friend.

Liberals are so desperate to smear anything that's a threat to their privilege in society and a perceived threat to the breadcrumbs that get tossed to them.

Just giving an explanation for why someone might harbor ill feelings towards the U.S.

This is so self-evidently preposterous I don't even know what I could add to further refute it.

What do you think people hate about it, the name? Come on. Hatred for the proposals in it is the most bipartisan thing I've seen in a decade at least.

Yes, project 2025, loaded with unpopular ideas, opposed primarily by democrats, is actually a democrat wetdream. Because democrats have proven repeatedly their agenda is always rolling back human rights /s

It's moronic. You discredit yourself so hard, it's actually hard to top your own words.

The militant communist is getting their catchphrase from the Brady Bunch. Which btw wasn't a cool reference 15 years ago either. lol

Not to mention that you want to imply that democrats long for the dissolution of human rights but you know saying it outright is laughably indefensible even by your standards, so you keep quiet on that and toss out your little snarky deflection.

Your party voted in favor of anti-trans legislation which was bipartisan in sponsors and cosponsors. Written by a Democrat and a Republican. But instead of calling it an anti trans bill it was presented as saving kids, KOSA

-15

Notice how you hide behind the fact that it likely was bad legislation just by the name of it and refuse to explain what you are talking about in any way. How is this "anti-trans"? You might be right (doubt it outside of some particular edge cases, but prove me wrong). But you're begging me to dismiss you by just being condescending about it.

Go familiarize yourself with the total aims of Project 2025 and then maybe you'll see why you look like a complete shill trying to equate these 2 things.

What part of KOSA dissolves the Department of Education?

What part of KOSA enacts government monitoring women's pregnancies?

Do you understand the concept of false equivalency?

Do you even understand what the word "equal" is?

Stop wasting everyone's time.

lemmy.world

I suppose you don't understand what the term piecemealed is. When liberals get on board with it, they won't advertise it as eliminating the department of education like they did not label kosa an anti-trans legislation.
