I’m already sick of people who are just now asking about Project 2025. Where the hell have you been?! It’s too late now.

The real losers are the American people. Read project 2025. Trump has very harsh policies that will hurt working class! I fear people‘s discontent was misguided when they voted for a liar/cheat who cares only about himself and the wealthy and powerful. Rest of us will suffer!

I will be wearing this "Reject Project 2025" shirt from now 👇

It has been a horrifying possibility for so long- but some people somehow had it in a blind spot. NOW, they have to figure out how to deal with it.

Idiots are doing their research after the election. Google’s most searched topic after the election was tariffs.

I hope the people affected get really angry. How else will they finally reach bottom to renounce Cult leader Trump?!

I suspect the fascists will successfully blame Democrats/ liberals/Jews for increased prices-undermining the great work the fascists did trying to lower prices.

The problem we have is that the cultists believe everything Trump says, except the things they don’t want to believe. Then they say, “0h, he didn’t mean that”.

Wait until they realize he did mean that!

Hitler also blamed the Jews for Germany's problems. So what you said brings back memories from history class. I'm referring to schools in the '70s.

MAGA and their GOP predecessors have conducted a full-on propaganda campaign to con Americans into distrusting government. They won over voters through using devisiveness; lying was encouraged to achieve their goals and violence and threats of violence encouraged. Corporate authority was and is still in charge of gaining control of the courts and exploiting judicial action, as it is the instrument for social, economic and political change. When corporate media is spoon feeding its listeners propaganda, misinformation and outright lies, it has to be true-right? Well those who are too ignorant or lazy to do their due diligence will follow the cult and its leader because it is safer to be part of the cult than to be a well informed independent thinker. The tribal-neolithic mentality still alive in the limbic portion of the brains of everyone, just more pronounced in many who refuse to see beyond their ignorance and instant self gratification.

Exactly! The time when the Repugs hadn't started dumbing down the public school system. I graduated in 1970 when the public schools were actually still teaching students something.

I agree that there will be buyer’s remorse. However, it will all be blamed on democrats, liberals, communists, Hunter’s laptop, etc. I have no confidence at all that the idiots who voted against their best interests are ever going to grow a brain, turn off Fox-not-the news, and get a clue. They are just too far gone. And the corporate media is so incompetent and owned by the oligarchs that they will find no help there.

Enough

I spent about a thousand dollars (not important) during this cycle which is not insignificant to me. The truth is trump won EVERY SINGLE SWING STATE. I understand some of the right owning the media space but we got sent to the wood shed. A majority of the country wanted what I watched in the last three weeks of the campaign, a sociopathic narcissist of almost 80 years of age, threatening Democratic politicians for future trials and executions. And before his term ends we’ll have Peter Theil’s suckboy, J D Vance; a compromised CIA director; Elon Musk, the great white hope of South Africa; a project 2025 implementation; Republican ownership of the Supreme Court (with the ability to appoint younger replacements, a sweep of the Congress; and who knows what else. You’re saying people having buyer’s remorse rings so hollow it’s pathetic. We lost. A person alleged to have kept Hitler’s speeches in his night table, a closeted dyslexic who couldn’t handle PDB’s without pictures, now fully educated in the lack of guardrails and who’s a clear and present danger/sociopath. We’re screwed.

Thank you, Jeffrey. If Trump's voters would've paid real attention, Trump has been a crook, predator, stiffed contractors+, racist, serial liar, thief, adulterer, Nazi sympathizer, wannabe dictator, felon, traitor, etc., etc., for decades. Trump voters have no one to blame but themselves.

I've NEVER been a conspiracy theorist, but I'll never believe trump won without cheating. He never has before, so why would he have changed his game plan, especially thanks to Musk & his Starlink! (an interesting 'rumor' going around.)

Did Trump voters really think they were going to be exempt from the fallout and devastation of Project 2025+?! Trump's voters' regrets now, after the election, really shows their ignorance. Trump told them who he was, and what he was going to do, so did Democrats, but Trump voters didn't listen. They sold out for a "carton of eggs"!

Patient says "it hurts when I do this". Me "then don't do that". The eggs cost too much, then don't buy eggs, or all that maga crap, or don't travel to all those rally's. Stupid is as stupid does!

I agree with you, Sue. They want to blame the Democrats for the higher cost of groceries, when I believe it is, plain and simple, corporate greed. Trump is making it worse by giving them, and other billionaires, tax breaks. Just how much money do people need, especially when it's at the expense of other fellow Americans?

Even if MAGA did believe that the foreign manufacturers paid the tariffs, they still weren’t able do some basic reasoning to see that those costs would inevitably passed onto the importer, and then onto the consumer.

Having said that, I’m convinced that they all believed Trump when he said the foreign countries would pay. I never heard him use the word “manufacturer” in regard to tariffs. He made the stupidest people on the planet to believe that the foreign Governments would pay. Just like Mexico was going to pay for the wall.

If I was to give him the benefit of the doubt, I might assume that Trump was ignorant about tariffs and just spouting what he believed to be the case. But he’s proven himself to be more of a deliberate and malignant liar than a dumb dip-shit this time around.

This whole f'ing nightmare is like the Twilight Zone, only missing Rod Serling. I have lost my faith in mankind and in my higher power. We have so many really ignorant people in this country. I find that fact really hard to accept. They deserve the colonoscopy without any anesthesia that they are going to get. The problem is, because of their ignorance, we will all suffer! I apologize for my very dark tone, but I have no compssion for them. I have been fighting this bastard for a decade, suffering a stroke and Lymphoma due to his insanity. I may be able to rally eventually, but for now I am done!!!

danielag333@gmail.com I thought you'd like to know that I was locked out of my Twitter account, simply for saying TRUMP DID NO WIN THE ELECTION, DISINFORMATION by Elon Musk and his cohorts did. Musk is building a shelter commune for himself and his 11 children and 3 wives in Texas to save them from climate catastrophe. Musk believes in climate crisis, but doesn't care how msny of the rest of us die, especially people of color, because he is protecting himself from climate catastrophe and planning to go to Mars eventually. REALLY. He is an insane meglomanica like his father Errol Musk and so his Trump because of his Nazi father Fred "Drumph." (The original family name.) Both Trump and Musk are insane egotistical, narcissistic sadists (pals of Jeffery Epstein) groomed to be such my cruel fathers who taught them there is no love, but power and money, and power and money are the only love there is! WAKE up Dear Wonderful Meidas and tell more TRUTH! Tell all our senators and reps. and Biden and Harris the Truth. Trump did NOT win the election Musk, Thiel, Putin won with DISINFORMATON spread among the MAGA minions and beyond. By Musk/Putin and a cartel of White Supremacist Billionaires, like Peter Theil, Robert Mercer, Yas, Leonard Leo, and the authors of Project 2025. Brace for oligarchs taking over and slowly killing the rest of us with auterity,,,,etc...Populaton explosion is as much as fossil fuel emissions destroying livable Earth. WAKE UP. Russia is the last all white major nation on EARTH. Tell MORE Truth!!!! PLEASE. Biden is a fool to offer a peaecful transfer of poer, instead of saving The Republic as Lincoln did. Biden has the military command and the National Guard as Commander and Chief up until Jan 20th Inauguration! He is rolling over and playing dead like a fool, instead of aresting Trump and saving THE REPUBLIC as Abraham Lincold did.

Wake up … is appropriate . Only I wish the American people had read more about their OWN history AND that they had listened to the countless explanations about tariffs and so on (not going to write out that HUGE list of scandalous promises Trump made. But it’s not just about Trump. If he were to exit the situation one day, his sidekick is worse. Then yes, there’s the truth about Musk, Russians and so on.

What I wanted to say was I appreciated the blunt candour in this post. It’s refreshing . You say it as it is … just the way people here in Scotland so.

However HOW on earth is it possible that so many people could be in this collective malinformed cloud? Were they all on drugs?

This result is so unreal and shocking that it seems more like some bad film …

Now , all these people better start getting their acts together.

They do not have much time.

Don't get me wrong -- I want Trump voters to find out fast what they signed up for -- but do we really think these morons are Googling "tariff" and suddenly having buyer's remorse? These clips are from before the election, and the regret seems like something we can only guess at. Bottom line: there is no sudden realization.
