I hear he's saying he doesn't know who came up with it. Here's what Wikipedia says:
Project 2025 partners employ over 200 former officials from the Trump administration.[55] Notable authors of the project's Mandate for Leadership include many officials and advisors from the Trump administration, including Jonathan Berry, Ben Carson, Ken Cuccinelli, Rick Dearborn, Thomas Gilman, Mandy Gunasekara, Gene Hamilton, Christopher Miller, Bernard McNamee, Stephen Moore, Mora Namdar, Peter Navarro, William Perry Pendley, Diana Furchtgott-Roth, Kiron Skinner, Roger Severino, Hans von Spakovsky, Brooks Tucker, Russell Vought, and Paul Winfree.[56] Former president Trump has not publicly endorsed Project 2025, and his campaign said such recommendations from "external allies" are just "recommendations."[57]
Vought was named policy director of the Republican National Committee platform committee in May 2024.[58]
At the 2023 Iowa State Fair, the leaders of Project 2025 began recruiting people for future government posts in the event of a Republican victory.[59]
On July 5, 2024 Former President Trump expressed his disagreement with Project 2025 in a statement: "I know nothing about Project 2025. I have no idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they're saying and some of the things they're saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal."[60][61]
How would he "disagree with some of the things they're saying" when he "know(s) nothing about Project 2025?
It is such a a simple and impossible to miss thread of logic, isn't it. Something noone could possibly miss, no?
Infuriating
This is exactly why Trump is the best case scenario for all this ugly shit coming to its battle. Think about if they went to all this trouble of laying the groundwork and rigging the media coverage so everyone spends the whole time talking about how Biden’s old and jerrymandering and overriding vote totals with the state legislature and killing the post office and intimidating voters and running multi billion dollar explicitly seditionist media networks and whatever else and what the hell, it works, and he gets a second term.
And then he says, fuck that, we hate Project 2025 now, if I do that then people won’t like me
It’s the same reason some spy agencies put a kibosh on the idea of killing Hitler… like actually, we looked at it, and this guy’s a seriously mentally ill stimulant-addicted megalomaniac in addition to a stone cold moron who refuses to listen to anyone smarter than him, I think we actually want him to be the one in charge of the whole operation.
No, he's saying he doesn't agree with all of it so that any Trump supporter who looks at the list and finds something they don't like will think "Oh yeah, this is the thing Trump won't like either, same as me".
It's a mental trick to stop the supporters from getting hooked into details.
That too, yes. But my main point is that Trump is such a disorganized moron that I think it’s possible that having him at the helm will undo a lot of the potential effectiveness of Project 2025. Having almost anyone else in charge of its implementation will amp up the terrifyingness level by quite a bit, and it already wasn’t small.
I think you're under the impression that the figure head or president is the only one who can do damage. 11 million people were killed in torturous holocaust camps, far more in the actual war, and that's not getting into injuries and social damage.
Claiming this is the best alternative because he is foolish and vain, is unwise. It might be better to treat this as a training session, and assume that the next time they come and attempt this, they're going to know what they're doing and send competent and deceptive people who will be more successful at it...
...and then you look at who "we" sent, and have... And it becomes obvious the only option is cultural/social. We have to make the people so informed, empathetic, politically active and aware that no one will be able to think of trying anything like this again.
...but we also have to do this for both sides, which means getting both sides talking to each other respectfully. Mom and dad are fighting, it's getting violent and only the children can intervene.
Did you seriously write all that and not once think of all the collateral damage? I mean, Hitler didn't personally execute millions of Jews. A conservative administration will pack the courts, weaken voter rights, and put sycophants in key positions they will hold for years. Just for starters.
If even half this agenda gets acted on we'll be fucked for decades.
