Project 2025 (and its auxiliary Trump’s “Agenda 47”) are a plan by right-wing extremists and other authoritarians to end America’s multiracial democracy and to replace it with a White Christian nationalist plutocracy.
A conspiracy is a plan by two or more people operating in private to advance their interests and goals above those of some other person(s) — or in this context the American people. Project 2025 is not a conspiracy. These plans are exhaustively detailed in a book titled “Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise” and are regularly discussed at conferences, in interviews, and in other public forums. Project 2025 and its related plans, like Agenda 47, were not hatched overnight. As author and journalist Anne Nelson and other experts have been extensively documenting, Project 2025 and the other right-wing extremists’ and neofascists’ plans to end America’s multiracial democracy have been years and decades in development

Both sides… Right?
No, but yes. Democrats fund extremist Republicans in order to “secure” their seats. The amount of times this has blown up in their faces means that they are, at the minimum, culpable for the extremism festering on the right. Their party isn’t as bad, but it does answer to the same interests (big business) that the Republicans get their matching orders from.
You’re being downvoted to hell and back but part of the reason where here is because the DNC in 2016 chose to support and push the right’s fringe candidates assuming they were unelectable…it’s has absolutely failed.
What GOP candidates have the DNC boosted that went on to defeat the Democratic candidate? Just curious.
Like I really don’t understand people who hang out in poltical forums but have like, not even a cursory knowledge of politics.
Adam Schiff ratfucked Katie Porter by taking millions in democratic donations and giving them to the republican candidate, so that he wouldn’t have to face Katie in the general.
I really don’t understand people who hang out in political forums but like, don’t even have the ability to read the question before shooting off an unrelated answer. If Adam Schiff loses to Steve Garvey you’ve provided a proper example.
Steve Garvey won the primary cheese head. He won. Porter lost. Goal met.
Steve Garvey hasn’t won that seat. I would’ve preferred Porter win the spot in the primary but this is in no way an example of the DNC boosting a Republican and losing the race.
a plan by right-wing extremists
I don’t think the word “extremist” is appropriate when the overwhelming majority of conservatives support it. Project 2025 is just what regular conservatives plan to do to oppress and eradicate the normal people.
Here in Germany we learn that extremists are people with opinions that go against the system, trying to overthrow the system. By that definitions they are extremists, I think?
Actually the definition is more nuanced. A radical (from latin radix = root) is someone who wants to change the political system from its core by using legal procedures like elections. An extremist is someone who despite being in a minority trys to overthrow the system in violent terms. So depending on Trump’s win or a mop running in the capitol and declaring Trump the winner, they are either radicals or extremist.
