Summary
Although Trump initially denied any connection to Project 2025, a conservative policy agenda, he has appointed two of its contributors to key Cabinet roles.
These appointments suggest the document could shape his second-term priorities, focusing on expanding presidential authority, deregulation, and advancing religious right objectives.
Tom Homan, Trump’s new “border czar,” has supported some of the agenda’s immigration proposals, such as expanding expedited removals and ending DACA.
Brendan Carr, nominated to lead the FCC, aims to challenge Big Tech by revoking Section 230 protections and restricting platforms like TikTok.
Infiltrating makes it sound like it’s something that is being done in secret and no one expected as opposed to being the plan from the beginning.
Anyone who said that Project 2025 wasn’t something to be afraid of, that it was simply a boogeyman that they made you be afraid of but is nothing important, should be fucking ashamed of themselves.
Its not infiltrating, it always was the agenda.
And welcomed with open arms…
Like milk infiltrating a bowl of cereal.
More like cereal infiltrating your bowl of cereal after being poured out of an unlabeled clear bag.
“You’re never gonna believe this, but someone snuck Cheerios into my bowl while I was pouring from this sack! The container wasn’t labeled, so I couldn’t possibly have known what was inside, despite it being plainly visible and entirely out in the open”
Apparently there are some heathens who use water instead of milk. I’d say this is more like blood infiltrating your heart.
The lactose intolerant enjoy cereal too.
If we’re going to get pedandic, blood infiltration of the heart is a medical condition, usually called infiltrative cardiomyopathy. So you’re correct that the metaphor is better, but the literal meaning could be confusing.
I like the cereal bowl analogy because cereal is ostensibly its own thing. But practically speaking, you’d be silly to assume it won’t be consumed with milk. Like it could be, but the box advertises it with milk, and the commercials suggest adding milk, and everything about the cereal implies you’re going to add milk. Adding water would make you the weirdo, and assuming other people would add water would be absurd. Like suggesting Trump would make an attempt to build a bipartisan coalition. If that’s what you’re expecting, you’re not in touch with the reality we all share.
Water to a sponge? That might have the same issue since infiltration is still a thing, so maybe we avoid fluids for the analogy. Fans infiltrating the stadium? Clothes infiltrating a laundry basket? Now I’m just saying things I see around me. Let’s workshop it independently and come back in a week with ideas. No rush, we will have four years of this bullshit.
Project 2025 IS the Trump administration
“infiltrating” lol wtf
Can’t infiltrate the willing.
“The policies are coming from inside the house!”
Vance wrong the forward to the book!
