Summary
Despite disavowing Project 2025 during the campaign, Trump’s transition team is now using its extensive database of vetted conservative candidates to help fill over 4,000 government positions.
Project 2025, criticized for its extreme policy proposals and links to Trump’s first administration, created a “conservative LinkedIn” of 10,000 candidates.
While some contributors are being tapped for key roles, others face rejection due to controversial stances.
Democrats, who used Project 2025 in campaign attacks, are warning of its influence on Trump’s agenda and planning policy responses.

When I was a kid it was a common belief that americans were just way more stupid than the rest of the world. Turns out it was worse, but that we were also really stupid for copying a lot of their dumb shit.
Dude, the rest of the world elects Hitler wannabe’s like all the time.

Fox and Friends didn’t report on it.
When Trump and his team were effectively forced to respond by a deluge of other outlets covering it, Trump literally just got in an interview and said “I never read it”. He didn’t say he didn’t know about it, he didn’t say he didn’t agree with it, just “I never read it, I don’t know what it’s about” - which I believe because the guy barely reads anything according to all the sources I can find.
Remember that really ever since 2000, a LARGE amount of voters have checked out entirely. They get their politics third-hand from people who watched Fox or read an article and many don’t even do that, just going into a polling station and checking whoever’s name they’ve heard more in the last month or two. They’re not even low-information, they’re zero-information, and some, like my mother, are even negative-information, digesting objectively untrue facts and regurgitating them onto their personal political canvas (mom got deep into the Qanon panic because “parts of it felt true”).
I’m pretty sure he’s illiterate.
The America of Idiocracy was waaaay better than what we’re going to get. I remember joking about how we were heading that way. Little did I know how quickly it would be so much worse.
Im in my 50’s. I feel so bad for my parents. So many good things have happened in their lifetimes, only for their twilight years to turn into non-stop devastating disappointment and the relentless reversal of so much progress.
no this is not idiocracy.
