“Project 2025”: Conservative master plan to end democracy?

[nakedfrog]

Republicans are actually 50/50 on outlawing porn?

They figure they'll still have ways to get it, just like abortions for their mistresses and daughters. The important thing is to be seen as morally upright and responsible, not to actually be that way.

 

[K1052]

It's taken a long time but evident the Dems have found a fruitful line of attack and Trump did us a solid by denying it.

They don’t claim to support personal freedoms at this point. Should be common knowledge by now that republicans are the anti-personal choice party. They’re perfectly happy to use the force of government to make decisions for people.

My body your choice!

 

[brycejones]

Imagine claiming to support personal freedoms but want to outlaw porn.

The only personal freedom they really support is the right to inflict “Christianity” on others everyone else. Anyone who doesn’t want that can get fucked and bask in the freedom coming their way.

Forcing a religion on everyone in the country is one of those lines in the sand that shouldn't be crossed with me. I cannot and will not live peacefully as a citizen in this country.

The Heritage Foundation is staging “war games” in which Biden attempts to cancel the election by having Hamas kidnap Barbra Streisand, Antifa-BLM protesters taking over a migrant detention facility" and "the FBI arresting Donald Trump two days after winning the election."

Heritage Foundation imagines Biden clinging to power with Barbra Streisand kidnap plot

The right-wing Heritage Foundation, which has been instrumental in drafting the controversial "Project 2025" plan, recently released a report that featured a number of highly outlandish scenarios by which President Joe Biden will try to illegally cling to power should he lose the 2024...

I'm wondering if today's conservatives have enough self-awareness to realize this kind of batshit is the reason they get mocked? I doubt it ...

They're thinking of the things they would do to stay in power, now it makes sense.

Did their scenario involve a giant robot Barbara Streisand or just the boring normal one? Is a giant Robert Smith Moth creature involved at any point in the proceedings?

Remember these five words. You will never be wrong when it comes to the magarats.

EVERY ACCUSATION IS A CONFESSION.

I read some of this material and I honestly wished Joe Biden had one quarter the kind of balls that they are describing. Like we would have to get NASA to study them because they're going to impact our tides sized nuts. Just gargantuan.

Exactly so they think a way to seize power is to (checks notes) kidnap Barbara Streisand.

You're confusing Republicans, many of whom want or want to appear to want the latter, with Libertarians, who support the former. Who also booed Trump when he spoke at their convention.

Beau was just saying that 140 of the people involved with this project were in the trump admin.

And more than that will be in the next Trump admin if it happens.

Those people experienced the taste of power and the limitless wealth it brings, they got hopelessly addicted to it and they want a permanent fix. They crave it, they have to have it once more, no matter what it takes to have "Their Precious" back again and they're willing to go there. Over 70 million stupendously stupid Americans want them to have it too.

An observation from a while back that I think is pertinent here.

Interesting point there. We know overturning Roe is a significant drag on GOP votes. It’s been reported on and polled on many times.

However blocking porn hasn’t really been assessed. Several conservative states have already passed age restrictions laws that ostensibly are to prevent minors from viewing porn but really just make a database of every porn site that a user looks at and identifies the user.

Many of the major sites won’t agree to those rules and have blocked access from those states. Users get a splash page explaining how their states laws are preventing their access.

Map shows states where Pornhub is blocked

Access to Pornhub has been blocked in eight states due to age identification laws.

www.newsweek.com

So users in those states either have to accept tracking and no access to the most popular sites, obtain a VPN to access their favorite sites, or go without.

Porn preferences in the past have been strong enough to drive market adoption of VHS over Beta-Max and Blu-ray over HD-DVD. Why not Dem over GOP?

I have a feeling some independent and conservative voters who may have otherwise voted GOP, are going to pull support over this in a not insignificant way.

If people start getting more eyes on what the weirdo social conservative christian nationalists who are funding Trump are saying in the open they want that would be bad for Trump. Like who wants the government deciding you can't watch any content rated above PG (this is a real idea they have)?

Every one of those block pages needs to cite the law and the person's from the district the user is accessing from that voted yes to the proposed law.

Ok well now I've seen a couple ads in my feeds from the right about Project 2025 trying to put the fire out.

Doesn't seem like a good idea if you really want people to talk less about it...

 

[VashHT]

They definitely didn't want it getting out this early. Kind of reminds me of how right wingers claimed it was scare tactics that roe would be overturned until they actually had enough power to do it, then it was done with glee.

 

[MtnMan]

Another concise warning of the republican plan to completely destroy democracy. Trump wants this, but is too stupid to actually implement the plan, but much more competent people have not written a workable playbook to accomplish these goals.

Stuff like eliminating the NOAA and the National Weather Service. Maybe we can rely on European weather services to warn us of an approaching CAT5 hurricane, that is if we are not blocked from viewing any websites outside of those approved by dear leader, just like the people of China and NK.
