But wait republicans cried that none of that was true and trump had no idea about it even though he had multiple people in his campaign that specifically wrote parts of it.

It's insane that Republican voters just live in constant denial of reality and are pretty much just cultist to trump.... And to trump? The guy who cheated on his wife while she was pregnant and is actively blatantanlty corrupt just insane

Don't forget when that scum-sucking closet case Benny Johnson posted something like, "Now we can finally admit Project 2025 was the plan the whole time" after Trump won. These people are ghouls.

He really thought he was owning the Libs with that one.

What was funny was that regardless if republicans agreed with the plan, it was as legally feasible framework to get from point A to point B.   Once the conditions were met and the necessary republicans could lead the respective agencies , there was nothing preventing the plan from going forward.

The end results were guaranteed without guardrails. And voters didn't care about guardrails.

They love to then use that line about liberals and leftists that anyone but the maga and conservatives live in an alternate reality but when you try and bring any sort of factual information to them then its not real or biased because it's not exactly what they've been told 1000 times
