You didn’t take any of the Project 2025 stuff seriously and they are doing that verbatim…
I remember when all the forum MAGAts were like "He DoEsN't EvEn KnOw WhAt PrOjEcT 2025 iS!!!!" Fucking dumbasses... :rollin

As a republican president he can't help but do some of the stuff in there. Otherwise he wouldn't be a republican.
At the moment all you have in that regard is a republican doing republican things.
When you can say he is "through page 500 with 500 hundred to go" then you have a legitimate point.
Right now with respect to Project 2025 all you have is he isn't a Democrat.
Project 2025 was spearheaded by his chief of staff and some other folks currently in his administration… they even starred in a recruitment video. But according to you it’s all a coincidence.

At the rate we are going they’ll be dragging Craig there and he’ll be telling us there isn’t anything to see here it’s all normal and what not.

To be clear anybody can get locked up by committing the right crimes.
Just so I am not confused here you are suggesting you will be locked up by the federal government, not because you commited a crime but because...?

Following the progression here Craig. Trans people have been the subject of at least 2 orders. Project 2025 would seem them not exist at all. As 2025 is being followed closely so far there will be more orders to come in that area. None will be good.

Yeah but according to Craig of course there will be things that are similar but that’s just to be expected. We are still alarmists or something.

Gas chambers and mass incarceration with no crime committed is the stuff of alarmists and that is being polite. Batshit crazy is more like it.

Gas chambers are implausible… finding a way to imprison people they don’t like is a wet dream for these folks. Doesn’t mean it’ll happen but don’t think they are gonna side with you that it’s batshit crazy. You’ll be looked at askance for suggesting it’s batshit crazy.

Three weeks ago it was batshit crazy to suggest Musk and a team of college hackers would be in the Federal payment system and a host of other computer systems… shutting down USAID and then offering buyouts to all federal workers including all of the CIA. Welcome to crazytown.

Was it "stuff of alarmists" in 1930s-40s Nazi Germany when it was a crime to be a Jew or other "undesirable" and sent to the gas chamber or incarcerated?

I think it's important to recognize that many of these fast-moving events in the government have the power to directly (and negatively) impact the well-being of many people, more than others. This isn't just an attack on ideology, where everyone goes back to their normal lives once they're done being alarmed. Just because someone won't be impacted by all of this chaos (or may even welcome it), doesn't mean this won't directly harm others. It will, and we should be supportive and protective of these vulnerable people. While everyone has the right to emotionally react how they may, I think it's wrong to dismiss somebody when their alarm bells are going off, especially since their lives have been full of this kind of adversity and they know the warning signs while the rest of us are blissfully ignorant.

Dumbasses. They should’ve known that Trump would’ve been less sympathetic to the Palestinian cause than Biden/Harris was.

The word trans has been eliminated from federal websites. Read the room, do the math. When the queer community is mentioned, it is LGB not LGBT.

Edited to add: they also ordered the removal of transgender research to be removed from the database of all medical journals.

Maybe we know a little bit more about what’s going on due to us having more skin(literally) in the game.
