loveridden1999:

that man went on live television and talked about how poc are eating the cats and dogs, aliens conducting trans operations. he is a convicted felon. of 34 cases. he is a rapist. he proposed project 2025 which strips away basic rights from everyone except cis-het white men and he still had 51% popularity votes. that should anger you. that should be focus of the collective rage and disgust, not your fellow queer and poc acquaintances. please.

Project 2025 is not a creation of Trumps, it is the continuation of the tradition that Reagan started, the same one which allowed him to make his presidency as disastrous as possible.

The Heritage Foundation gave Reagan the very first edition of the Mandate for Leadership, the latest edition of which is known as project 2025.

Compared to the presidents before him, who used the research done by think tanks to inform decisions, Reagan allowed them to prepare all the decisions, and hundreds if not thousands of them, for him. He then simply implemented everything he could all with pre-prepared justifications. He literally gave his entire cabinet copies of the Heritage Foundations entire spiel.

The US becoming consistently more right wing over time is not a coincidence, it was a concentrated effort by the rich and powerful, not by Queers and People Of Color.
