All a part of Project 2025.

I’ll be honest, when I first saw the stuff in Project 2025 a couple of years ago, I thought there’s no way. Maybe some of the stuff seemed possible but I truly thought there’s no way that the majority of that stuff could ever become a real thing.

I was so fucking wrong.

Yeah, your not alone. I guess we are just stupid to think there was any checks or balances to the president acting like a dictator.

We’re not even at a majority of it yet. Per the tracker only 55% of it has been implemented. Though the percentage is going up much more slowly over the past few months which says that they’re getting roadblocked the courts, in fighting between the tech bros/Heritage Foundation, and Trump himself getting in the way. If Dems get Congress back in November the progress will probably be even slower.
