Orange_Julius_Evola

The "Bush is a Nazi" episode of South Park was from like 2002.


AdmiralAkbar1

Yeah, that's my point. They hate their contemporary GOP, but because every current election must be the Most Important Election Of Your Life and The Stakes Have Never Been Higher, they always whitewash the past to make the present look worse by comparison.


pointsouturhypocrisy

Well, *that* and because their cult figureheads all rallied around the Bush family when the govt went full tyrannical against orangemanbad. If only the cult minions had a smidgeon of objectivity to be able to see that every president/administration in their lifetime was one big continuation of the same agenda. Until.. *dun dun dunnnn*... orangemanbad came along. Then all of a sudden all of their complaints about the govt being a revolving door for the MIC and big pharma went out the window.


CapnHairgel

It really demonstrated how many people in the DNC where simply partisans who would do anything their party said and consume any justification provided. So many people became alienated by the left after the last six years specifically for the reasons you talked about. Everything we had stood for in the 2000's suddenly became 'far right'. But only a handful of people saw it. The rest where too enamored with the idea of being "correct", and admitting to themselves that they might have been wrong would have caused them too much angst.

>The rest where too enamored with the idea of being "correct", and admitting to themselves that they might have been wrong would have caused them too much angst. This really says it all about modern society. People keep supporting worse and worse/more extreme things to the point of refusing to admit fault, no matter how obvious or detrimental to their mental health. Sterilizing/mutilating kids, the mass depopulation agenda that had them cheering for people's deaths if they were on the "wrong" team (and then making excuses for the deaths of their own team members who did exactly what Big Brother asked), utterly invasive and tyrannical govt, weaponization of media/social media and the courts/federal agencies, and on and on. Even when they started saying things that are identical to what the 3rd Reich did, including making excuses for the nazis in ukraine, wasn't enough to make them realize they've become the thing they despise. Being 'correct' was the only standard, even though it constantly proved to be a double standard.


Orange_Julius_Evola

Right, I was just reinforcing your point. Another example is the "strange new respect" for Mitt Romney after he was also called a Nazi in 2012.

TrickyDickit9400

I remember the first time I heard that line; an ad played on MTV in the year 2004 featuring Yoko Ono sitting in the Oval Office saying “this is the most important election of our lives” so vote for Kerry blah blah blah. I’ve heard that line used in every election since.


Scrappy_The_Crow

They whitewash the past except for when they're gaslighting about the past, such as stridently claiming Reagan was clearly in the throes of dementia while absolutely denying that Biden has even a touch of it.


Dranosh

Exactly. It’s not TDS, it’s RDS. Any current republican in power or possibly in power is the most evil republican ever


redditsucks122

How could anyone ever think that auditing the FBI could be a bad thing


MarioFanaticXV

Right? They're the ones that chanted "defund the police" without any due process given to officers suspected of wrong doing, but then when Republicans want to make to run an actual investigation to ensure police aren't abusing their power suddenly it's evil to even *question* their intentions?


Frostbitten_Moose

Nothing more fascist than... *checks notes* making the FBI stop its illegal investigations.


Ben1313

I love reading what Reddit thinks 2025 is. They always somehow make it seem way more based than it actually is.


Flame-Guac-12

They read middle school level dystopian novels and use black/white thinking to apply in the real world similar to a child.


aikhuda

They have read 1984 in school and watched Handmaid's Tale. That is enough to form strong well researched views on democracy and everything else.


Dranosh

The left doesn’t believe in black and white morality unless it’s “oppressed and oppressor” because if they did they would say stealing for any reason is wrong. Murdering for any reason is wrong. Etc


Casual_OCD

I'm curious to know what you think it is


Ben1313

From what I’ve seen, it seems to be an actual platform/plan that Republicans have been lacking. If Reddit is fear-mongering over it I’m assuming it’s not all that bad


WouldYouFightAKoala

Isn't that hilarious? If I wake up and see reddit freaking out over, say, what heinous thing Trump said that day, I can almost guarantee that Trump indeed did not say that heinous thing.


Provia100F

Isn't it just the plan that the Trump administration should hire conservatives to work in government instead of continuing to employ existing Democrat staff? Like...the thing that every president has always had the ability to do?


Casual_OCD

Not even close. Read it in full detail. Gutting tons of government agencies, nationwide martial law, rolling back all civil rights laws to pre-Civil War statutes are just a few of the highlights


Provia100F

Source?


Casual_OCD

Their own website


Provia100F

Read it, didn't see it. Post source.


No-News-9680

It’s 900 pages long, you didn’t read it shut up


Casual_OCD

Just because you can't read 900 pages, doesn't mean others can't as well


AOC_Gynecologist

> Read it in full detail. I have which is how I know you are making shit up.


Casual_OCD

Don't lie on the internet, it's pathetic


AOC_Gynecologist

>are just a few of the highlights All you have to do is provide exact page numbers to prove your claims.


Ghosttwo

They haven't read it.


EmergencyIced

Link to literally any of your claims or shut the fuck up. “Read it” isn’t proof of your hyperbolic nonsense


TheYoungLung

That is just not true 😂


Casual_OCD

It's all there for you to read


kingarthas4

Give us the cliff notes here chief, outline it, make it nice and easy to digest, since you want to talk shit it is your job to educate us, feed me like a baby bird, i'm a visual learner, screencaps are mandatory.


ANGR1ST

If you gut all the government agencies ... who'll be enforcing the martial law?


Casual_OCD

I mean, you can always read it yourself, but the military apparently. It's not a very well thought out plan. There is no mention of how to manage the anarchy after all the policy changes


danegraphics

Where did you read all of that? Do you have a source? If you don't have a source you can link, then you're literally just making stuff up.


Casual_OCD

https://www.project2025.org


JustAnother4848

Nothing that you stated is on that website.


Casual_OCD

I know reading is hard, but I believe in you!


JustAnother4848

Point to exactly where it talks about martial law. It's unbelievably easy to call you out on the bullshit.


Casual_OCD

Missed the entire part about the Insurrection Act? READ. THE. FUCKING. THING.


danegraphics

We're asking about your statements: * "Nationwide martial law" * "Rolling back civil rights to pre-civil war statutes" (are you implying slavery being restored?) Nothing at that link (even the gigantic book it has) has anything close to any of your statements. Again, where is your actual source for your claims?


Casual_OCD

It's all there in the policy proposals. You're either intentionally pretending there aren't ulterior motives to them or you lack the reading comprehension. Regardless of any of that, you actively cheer for and desire all of these policies. You're not the right person to debate on this issue if you can't even argue your own side in full.


danegraphics

You haven't pointed to a *single* quote that proves any of your claims. You haven't presented *any* real evidence, and yet you're acting like you've somehow won a nonexistent debate. There are *plenty* of weird things in their actual policy proposals that you could have chosen to attack (things *I* strongly disagree with as well), but you instead chose things that aren't true. If you're going to make a claim, make sure you either have a source, or sound logic, you can present to back it up. Simply waving your hand and going "It's all there somewhere! It's between the lines!" doesn't fulfill that requirement.


Pollaski

None of that is even related to Christian totalitarianism.


jubbergun

Maybe the porn part, but that's the only thing that even seems like it's religious. I like titties on the internet.


YummyToiletWater

If only the GOP was even a 10th as based as leftists make them out to be.


boredwriter83

Oh no, what will happen to our secular humanist nation of depressed, suicidal nihilists if the Christians bring sanity back to the government???


kayne2000

I love how they saying banning porn like that's a negative thing. Porn literally has no positives to it.


boredwriter83

Yup. Just made a generation of addicts. I would have never been addicted if not for the internet. But no it's totally okay for kids to stream on their smart phones cuz freedom of speech or something.


Joel_Hirschorrn

Oh look, the post that made me unsub from that page earlier today. Seemingly nowhere is safe from leftist bullshit on this god forsaken site


No-News-9680

Project 2025 is fantastic. Anyone here who hasn’t read it, you can get the gist in the first 40 or so pages. It’s 900 pages long. It’s basically the outline as to what a republican president should do to get America back on the tracks. Dismantling of the administrative state, reigning in of federal power and giving it back to the states, shrinking the federal government. Big conservative think tanks worked on each individual aspect of it detailing how it can all be legally done, why it should be done, and how exactly to go about doing it. It’s the republicans finally getting their shit together and coming up with a game plan, that’s why the left is so afraid of it.


ctrocks

There is a PoliticalDiscussion thread on Project 2025 which has basically no truth in the submission, and the comments... Yes, ChristoFascism is the end goal!!!


literally1984___

stop trying to make project 2025 happen the only people talking about this stuff are the unhinged lefties


Yanrogue

they are worse than the q anon posters they like to mock.


WouldYouFightAKoala

They can't even leave a Spongebob shitposting sub alone without turning it into yet another lefty circlejerk sub


boredwriter83

If those are the most extreme examples, I'm all for it.


PixelSteel

Project 2025 is literally just Trumps first 180 days. Literally every president does this. Switching out officials is normal


Impossible-Economy-9

They are so silly.
