It is not what he campaigned on, nor what the majority of voters wanted. Not once did I hear “we are going to shut down clinical trials so your loved ones die.”

It is not what he campaigned on, nor what the majority of voters wanted. Not once did I hear “we are going to shut down clinical trials so your loved ones die.” I did hear a lot about grocery prices, which certainly aren’t going down because of this.
- timeon 2y agoAFAIK there was information about Project 2025, so this was not secret was it? And lot of people still support this as you can see it even here (as this thread is already flagged).
- Kye 2y agoThere are enough people who will reactively flag anything that touches the lines between politics and everything else, usually under a misunderstanding of the guidelines, that it's hard to infer intent behind a flag kill.
- jauntywundrkind 2y agoProject 2025 was getting grassroots attention & was becoming rabidly unpopular. Trump denied any affiliation, claimed he didn't know these people. (Even though many are folks he's already worked with.) The media accepted that unquestionablably & regurgitated Trump's obvious lies.

- ModernMech 2y agoCommunism? This looks like the end stage of capitalism affirms horseshoe theory. It was the capitalists who were sitting front row at the inauguration, not communists.
- lightbendover 2y agoThen frankly you weren’t paying attention. This was all laid out in Project 2025 and there were plentiful ties between it and Trump despite his deflection.

- matthewdgreen 2y agoIt’s been a lot longer than a day.
- ModernMech 2y agoThe thing about dictators is once you give them power, you can't take it back, even if they promise they want it just for one day.

- jaredklewis 2y agoCan you find even one actual Trump voter that says they regret voting for him? All the supporters I know still seem pleased with their choice.
- Trasmatta 2y agoBeing a dictator is absolutely what he campaigned on. He literally said it, and signalled it in every way possible. Those that didn't see that coming either weren't paying attention or wanted it to happen.

- kccoder 2y agoThen you weren't paying attention. There were plenty of clues that this is precisely what was going to happen. There were many of us sounding the alarms and too many people scoffed. If you want to see what comes next, take an in depth look at project 2025. It's all there. It's the plan. It was always the plan.
- mywittyname 2y agoI'm astonished that anyone believed things would unfold any differently than they have. We were told exactly what will happen by everyone in power. And the kissing of the King's ring before inauguration should have been a clue. Shit is going to get awful. It's already to the point that, when I'm on reddit, I can't distinguish between r/news and r/collapse headlines.
- directevolve 2y agoTrump did in fact explicitly say he “hadn’t heard of Project 2025” repeatedly during his campaign. Bullshit obviously, and his supporters were warned many times of this, but I still think it’s fair to say this specific set of actions isn’t what he explicitly campaigned on.
- matthewdgreen 2y agoFolks think I'm saying "I didn't expect this" when what I'm saying is "Donald Trump didn't campaign on it." That's relevant and people need to be reminded of it every single day.
- ModernMech 2y agoBut I mean, it was part of the campaign. You can't be forgiven for not being able to read between the lines. The campaign went like this: - Kamala: He's going to do Project 2025. - Trump: No I'm not ;) - You: Well he said he wasn't going to do it, he lied! You missed the wink and the fingers crossed behind his back, but the rest of us picked up on it. Sorry you weren't paying attention to that, but Kamala pointed it out to you, so you can't say you weren't warned.
- hackable_sand 2y agoDictatorship is literally what he campaigned on.
