The Project 2025 blueprint for a potential second Donald Trump administration would plunder veterans' benefits and shower cash on private contractors.Right-wing policy makers led by the Heritage Foundation are crafting a detailed plan to slash federal spending, cut taxes, gut regulatory agencies, st...
Don’t wanna be that guy, but this seems pretty far down the list of awful stuff it would bring.
Every entry is written like : We’ll destroy this freedom we don’t like as well as anything else we don’t like. Followed by: We’ll dismantle these other human rights plus anything else we don’t like.
It’s literally “We’re going to do whatever we want and we’re going to make anyone who opposes us an enemy of the state. Thus removing all rights to personhood for those people.”
If they get control, slavery will return to America in less than a couple years.
Sure they’ll be called “Prisoners with jobs.” and instead of “just” black people. It will be all poor people and a bunch of women and queer kids
This plan is a recipe to create a ruling class who trade in the lives over humans. Especially the idiots that vote for them.
Ok so I got a bit ranty… but the thing is. I’m writing this thinking it sounds pretty hyperbolic right? Sounds like I’m blowing it way out of proportion… but I read it and think… NO it’s even worse than that…
We already have “prisoners with jobs” (slaves) in America. Don’t try and act like America isn’t already a racist shithole.
I would never. It most certainly is a fucking nightmare
I think the intent here is to make sure army vets understand voting for the trumpet is not in their best interest.
Yeah, I know, and it’s totally true… I support the message. It just feels like a drop in the ocean compared to the other horrifying outcomes.
Sadly they like other republicans love to vote against their interests in order to hurt others
It’s much higher than you realize. VA budget is roughly 180b, and that won’t be cut. Instead it will all be privatized.
So now the burden is on the private healthcare to treat veteran specific issues, and they won’t.
There are also hundreds of thousands of vets who depend on the compensation payments. Now you have hundreds of thousands of additional homeless people across the country. They are now a burden on society.
The 180b? All going into the coffers of Federalist society allies and big businesses. That is a lot of money removed from the economy. It will ripple worse than any factory shuttering. This one is going to cause massive devastation so some rich fucks can buy a new yacht and be oligarchs.
Woowwww… that’s nuts. I often forget the US is mostly just one big military and the infrastructure to support it.
Our three branches of government are Oil, Finance, and the Military Industrial Complex.
Oil powers the machine and the money people steal from everyone to keep it going
You think that’s the end game for some people? I think it’s worse. I don’t think it would happen immediately, but I think things escalate over the years especially as they find they can’t simply deport everyone they don’t like, and not everyone will be “fit” for slavery. You can imagine where I’m going I am sure.
It will resemble something like Gilead
Yeah. I was trying my best to not spiral into the worst case.
