In her first campaign rally as the presumptive Democratic nominee to face Donald Trump, Vice President Kamala Harris took aim at her Republican rival and a widely derided Trump-linked platform that provides a blueprint for the next GOP administration.
“Donald Trump wants to take our country backward,” she said in remarks from Milwaukee on Tuesday, just two days after President Joe Biden ended his re-election campaign and endorsed his vice president.
Harris, who secured enough delegate pledges to clinch the Democratic Party’s nomination within a little over 24 hours after announcing her candidacy, linked Trump to Project 2025, the Heritage Foundation-backed plan for his administration, and one that his campaign is now furiously trying to distance itself from.
“He and his extreme Project 2025 agenda will weaken the middle class. We know we got to take that seriously,” Harris said. ”Can you believe they put that thing in writing? Read it. It’s 900 pages.”
The plan proposes cuts to Social Security and Medicare, tax breaks to corporations that will force “working families to foot the bill” and abolishes the Affordable Care Act, which “will take us back to a time when insurance companies had the power to deny people with preexisting conditions,” Harris said.
“Project 2025 will weaken the middle class.”
Project 2025 will destroy the middle class. It is a guide to creating a Judge Dredd universe where the only people living in it will be the Super Rich and Super F*cking Poor. They’re not even trying to hide it.
I don’t understand how pointing out that an account that is obviously a troll breaks this rule. If that breaks the rule and gets removed it will foster more disinformation on this site, which is problematic. We can’t allow fresh accounts to spread baseless information and moderate those who call it out.
I’ve got a little while until I do my psychiatry clinical rotation in school, but I feel like interviewing you to hear about your theories and perceptions would make for a fascinating case report.
What I don’t understand is how their first two sentences completely contradict the last sentence.
I’ve worked in ERs before and dealt with a lot of mental health patients in crisis. I’ve met some schizophrenics that have been off their meds and on street drugs for months in the middle of a complete psychotic break that still have a better grasp on reality than some of these folks.
(To be clear, they were in that situation because they lost their job, home, and health insurance, so they had no way to access the medication that had kept them stable previously, and the street drugs were an attempt at self-medication.)
I don’t like her, but you have to admit that’s hysterical.
As I said, Trump is totally ignorant of the Streishand Effect here. Which he used to tremendous effect before.
AND of his own strategy of “mention you don’t support something, repeatedly, as a sign you low key support it.”
Now he’s actually trying to say he doesn’t support something, and it’s like he’s totally forgotten his own history.
Everyone knows he lies like most people breath anyways. His only position is whatever gets people to cheer and clap for him so he gets his narcissistic fix, or the last person to talk to him that stroked his ego the right way. The people who will actually to do stuff in his administration definitely want 2025, and that’s what matters. I’m only a neighbor of the US but a country that implements 2025 is a scary one to be next to.
Can you believe they put that thing in writing?
Absolutely.
Nazis always seem to be stupid enough to leave evidence around of their plans.
Where do you think the villain monologue trope comes from? lol
I mean they do seem like a Saturday morning cartoon villain just monologuing their evil plan because they think they have the hero down for the count.
Acting openly horrible has been hugely successful with their base. Maybe it’s gone far enough that all the low information voters out there will start seeing how crazy things have gotten. I know the women in my social circle are pissed, and they’re pretty much all white suburban moms. That’s a group that could have a big effect here.

I’m curious. About what specifically? That “MAGA Manifesto” is huge.
I’ve read 103 pages so far… Nothing worth noting as extreme in this document. The left (not everyone) is just fkin stupid, ignorant, and parroting chit. No different than calling Trump Hitler, a dictator, a Nazi, a racist, a fascist etc…
I get the tactic though.
It’s election year. They needed to fear monger, so they chose “Project 2025”. They needed to race bait, so they needed to find a story anywhere in America about a White cop shooting a non-violent Black person - Sonya Massey. BLM isn’t falling for their chit. They’ve caught on.
Leftist tactics are played out, same ol fkin moves as before.
Somewhere there is a site that lets you put in topics that concern you, and it pulls up page numbers and quotes from p2025 that fit. I really need to find and bookmark it for linking…
I haven’t exactly interrogated them about all the details, but there is a lot of anger about all the stuff specific to women for sure. I think the Roe overturning primed many women (and people in general) to see that this shit is serious and not just the empty political talk they’re used to mostly ignoring. They are worried it will continue to get worse and make their health care more difficult in general, not just for abortions.
