Right-wing pundits admitted that a controversial plan to reshape the country called Project 2025 is Donald Trump's agenda after he won the 2024 presidential election.On his daily War Room podcast, host Steve Bannon agreed with conservative pundit Matt Walsh, who made the admission on social media."N...
"Now that the election is over I think we can finally say that yeah actually Project 2025 is the agenda," Walsh wrote on X (formerly Twitter).
In other words "Damn right we lied to everybody! Thanks, suckers!"
I guess there's no need to even bother wearing the masks any more. Racism, misogyny and bigotry won the day. Handily. Republicans turned out in droves to sign up for more of it, and Democrats have said they're willing to accept it rather than elect a black woman. At that point, why even bother hiding it. Everybody knows what it is, and last night they said in pretty decisive fashion that they either actively want it or are at least willing to accept it.
We did this to ourselves. Trump made some small gains, but Harris underperformed Biden by roughly 10% or so. That means millions of Democrats sat home instead of voting for Harris, which also cost the Democrats some House and Senate seats downballot due to the lower turnout. There was no election fraud. This was a free and fair election. Trump won the popular vote. There are no excuses this time. We. Voted. For. This.
8-10 million Democrats stayed home. I don't care if you're "protesting Gaza", or if you're a closeted bigot who would rather sit out than vote for a black woman. Or whatever. If you stayed home rather than vote for Harris, you voted for this. In the words of Rush, "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice". And you made that choice knowing it was a de-facto vote for Trump.
The GOP had a damn good night last night. And they couldn't even wait 24 hours before cramming it right down our throats. They couldn't even wait 24 hours to take the mask off. Give it a couple of days and I figure the national abortion ban will be the next thing they don't bother trying to lie about any more. Why bother trying to hide it? We already said we're cool with it.
Mutual aid will be more important than ever, join and build up your local groups if you're able, it will pay off in dividends in the coming years.
This election has only proven how electoralism cannot be relied upon, it's just us now. We need to build the world we want to live in, without corporate influence.
Search your local area + 'mutual aid'.
Help your local food not bombs.
Create a worker owned cooperative with your friends if possible, or join an existing one.
Help spread the meshtastic network to build up communication resilience in your community.
Plant trees in your community to help reduce the heat island effect for the coming heatwaves.
Create or join a community garden near you to bolster food availability and foster connections with those around you.
engage in guerrilla urbanism, make your community safer to walk or bike
encourage your coworkers to unionize under the IWW, contact them for help on how to unionize your workplace.
vote in your local elections to try and have a state or city government that is less hostile to the above actions, but continue to build decentralized power independently of them regardless. Do not make the mistake of handing off the responsibility to make things better to them, it's up to YOU, and your community, and hopefully other nearby communities doing the same, but that is all.
We have tremendous collective power if we just use it, and hopefully this outcome will result in us coming together and building that world in the shell of the old. Collective solidarity is our only solution left.
Now that it’s clear that Harris’s really well run campaign underperformed Hillary Clinton, can we finally end the myth that some failing of her campaign strategy or “likability” was the primary reason for her loss rather than sexism and Comey’s shenanigans? It really seems like a very large number of men just won’t vote for a woman in the US.
Pretty sure they're joking. Not sure how much, but that seems to be the tone they're giving. "Oh yeah let's do the thing they said we would haha". It's not very funny but it's like someone getting a gun and saying "Time to shoot up a school hurr hurr"
Not that that makes it any better, but still. Something important to keep in mind, you go blasting this around with "look he said it!" And they're just going to laugh at you for believing getting upset.
Edit: I'm not saying that this is okay at all but the guy in the article definitely has the tone of "oh yeah let's tell them we are gonna start up the murder machine out front" I understand that there are a lot of people that do stick to this rhetoric. But I pretty much guarantee that in the context of this article it's bait to get people to go "he said he's gonna start up his murder machine!" And then they'll go on some rant about liberals or whatever else.
The guy is still probably an absolute shithole but you need to be able to recognize when they are setting people up for a punchline that furthers their agenda.
It's just like the church guys who stand outside with the old "god hates (slur)" signs. They believe it, but fighting them or screaming about it just pushes their agenda. Condemn them, call them out, but hysteria just gives them ammunition.
