According to Mary Fahnestock-Thomas, you should all be building your bunkers, and watering your crisis gardens because “The Attack of Project 2025” is coming.
This is the same person who likes to tell you that Trump is “a threat to democracy” but can’t be bothered to actually listen to the man during a presidential debate and decide for herself.
I have no problem with someone who wants to vote for their candidate, that is the beauty of democracy, but uninformed fear mongering misinformation is truly a threat to democracy.
To begin with, Project 2025 was spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation… in early 2022. Trump had not even declared for President, nor did we know all the potential candidates running for the GOP spot.
The Heritage Foundation is heavily funded by the Koch Brothers who are Establishment Bush-type Republicans that despise Trump. The Kochs donated over $100MM to, in their words, “take down Trump.”
There is reporting that Democrat smear merchant and former Biden Chief of Staff Ron Klain, and Democrat think tank Democracy Forward were behind this whole thing, but funneled it through the Heritage Foundation to make it look like a conservative movement. The truth is it was put in place in a slimy dirty political move by the Democrats to lie to the public and sway the election. Just like the 51 former intelligence officials who lied about Hunter Biden’s laptop during the 2020 campaign.
Trump and his campaign have already said they know nothing about Project 2025 and have already mentioned several policies he will put in place regarding access to abortion and gay marriage that are 100% contrary to the dreaded Project 2025.
So get out on the backroads and trails, float the river, take a vacation, or just have a good ol’ family BBQ. Project 25 is a bunch of unfounded fear that Democrats are pedaling to sway your vote.
Mike Mercer says
From reading these responses I ask myself, why must we always hide our ignorance with half-truth; consider the famous Descartes quote “I think, therefore I am” which is a half-truth itself as it actually reads “I doubt, therefore I think, therefore I am”…we always leave out doubt, why is that?
Gomez says
Cav.. What is the “agenda” of the trans community?
I’ve never seen anyone is frightened of people do not look like himself as you. What an angry, sad life you must have.
Tracy Wood says
And all this time I just thought Mary was doing satire. wow… well I have read Project 25 and much of it is trash and well about the same ilk of trash as the Green New Deal, I do however support dismantling all of the acronyms: FBI, CIA, NSA, IRS, TSA and DHS. Oh and Trump opposed most of this trash as well as the Green New Deal. He has stated so many times fear mongers.
WMA says
And replace them with what, Tracy?
Gomez says
With what? Crickets, apparently. 🙂
Mary Fahnestock-Thomas says
Have you read any of Project 2025, Kevin? Try it; you won’t like it.
And you believe anything Trump says? You must not be listening on a regular basis.
Fear-mongering? Not the Democrats’ specialty.
kevin says
No, haven’t read it. Trump has said over and over and over again that Inflation is HIGH, and our Border is UNSAFE. I do believe he and several Governors are correct.
Howard S. says
Inflation is NOT high. You can look it up. Please do. Illegal border crossings have been FALLING for the past 2 years. You can look that up as well. Please do.
Cav says
Seriously? Look it up? Clearly you have not and you are brainwashed by some mainstream media outlet. Inflation is cumulative. just because the quarterly number is lower does not mean it is coming down, it’s just growing slower but still way to much. The damage is done from his 9% days. the 4% days only add on to it. Border crossings are down? from What? Historic Highs in 2022? They are still way higher than under a real president. I could go on all day and shoot down your crap but I don’t have time to educate the uniformed.
Howard S. says
The last report had inflation under 3%. The Fed target is 2%. Prices will not return to what they were previously unless we get a period of deflation. If that happens, it’s a really bad sign for the economy, so it’s not a goal. Illegal immigration increased every year under Trump until the pandemic gave them an excuse to make asylum seekers wait in Mexico. That’s no longer an option. Most of these people are looking for asylum. Most will be denied it, but there’s a process. The process is slower than it should be because Trump’s people dismantled large parts of the system. The last border bill would have rebuilt it, but Trump killed the bill because it’s really the only thing he has to run on.
Howard S. says
Not to mention the fact that inflation has been a problem in every developed country. You blaming Biden for that? It has come down a lot faster in the US than in most other countries. Our economy is doing really well, which is something you won’t ever hear much about on Fox News for some reason. Not hard to guess why.
Cav says
That is because you are 100% correct Kev. U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Website backs you up as does any Econ 101 major and every business channel from Bloomberg to CNBC, to FBN and even CNN.
kevin says
Row v Wade, State of Montana has been afforded the power to regulate that law. Residency in states that agree with your views are seeking your residency.
Gomez says
Kevin. Should owning other human beings as property be a state’s right issue as well? How about whether women can vote, get a credit card or drive a car? Should states be able to decide whether our LGBTQ friends and family have the same civil rights as straight people? Please, do tell.
kevin says
LGBTQ, LMNOP, _RS….. keep your bedroom out of a “rights” discussion, that is your right to do so!!
Gomez says
Kevin. Do you believe that those in the LGBTQ community are entitled to the same civil rights as those who are straight?
cav says
Gomez. Do you believe trans gender people should be pushing their agenda in 3rd grade classrooms?
Seen it first hand sir, so before you give me the “that’s not happening bologna, save your breath.
Gomez says
Trump and his campaign also said that Roe v Wade was settled law.
WMA says
Lord knows that Trump wouldn’t lie about a thing like Project 2025.
Cav says
Coming from Democrats who told us Trump was a Russian asset, told people to drink bleach, and that white nationalists were “Fine People” I’ll back the guy who was proven by the FBI and even CNN to be right. The ice is cracking under your feet W….
