“Don’t make a paper trail that creates evidence of our illegal shit.”
I can’t fathom the arrogance involved in making Project 2025 public knowledge. Writing books about it with forwards from the VP candidate.
They really thought they could blanket deny all knowledge, flood the media cycle with noise, and keep people from seeing it.
I also think some of them were so into their far right-wing media bubble that they thought people secretly like all their policies (they don't)
Plus the media overall has historically not been great at really talking about Republican's horrifying plans like this in the past. Barely mentioning that kind of stuff if at all. They were also banking on that continuing, and to be fair, it almost certainly would've if not for the democratic party starting to talk about it way more
honestly I also thought that before all this went down. pleasantly surprised at the backlash.
Is you taking notes on a criminal conspiracy?
Reminds me of a story about a criminal who lived in a community of criminals and when he moved into another community kept committing crimes left and right until he was finally arrested. Completely unaware.
