This tool live tracks the progress of the various campaigns promises that were part of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 manifesto, which supported Trump during his last campaign.

I wonder what kind of long term damage this will do to the US, why the fuck did shit like this have to happen in my lifetime.

[-] HungLikeAHoers2010@lemmy.ca 95 points 1 month ago

Because not enough Americans voted against Trump. It's entirely their fault.

[-] Empricorn@feddit.nl 72 points 1 month ago

No, no. "The non-fascist candidate wasn't exciting enough! It's the Democrats' fault I stayed home while my country burned."

[-] HungLikeAHoers2010@lemmy.ca 53 points 1 month ago

People like those who claim they're leftists are FAKE leftists as far as I'm concerned. They had a choice between Coca-Cola and hydrochloric acid, but didn't vote for Coca-Cola because they wanted natural spring water. Any real leftist would vote for the lesser of two evils if placed in that situation.

[-] FinnFooted@lemmy.world 28 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Those specific types of leftists want accelerationism the us. They will encourage you not to vote even. They want trump because they think that Trump will crash the government and the US will either be crippled and unable to exert imperialism or the people will become so disenfranchised they'll experience class consciousness and there will be a glorious socialist revolution. What they don't realize is that companies will gobble up power and the US will become corporate feudalism that's even more awful on the global stage and few citizens will fight back as long as they feel personally safe and can eat.

“After Hitler, our turn” - Communists in 1933, Germany.

[-] PyroNeurosis 7 points 1 month ago

Well, to a degree they weren't wrong.

The GDR was run by the Communists, but probably not in a way that anyone was hoping for.

Not entirely. Remember, even if 2 to 4 million more people vote for Democrats you can still get a Repulican in the US due to their voting system favouring land over people. It never really was a true democracy, they always needed 55-60% of actual votes for the lesser evil to actually get the lesser of the two evil.

[-] djsoren19 9 points 1 month ago

This is such a gross oversimplification, and the fact it keeps getting repeated is the reason I have no faith in the American people getting out of this. This coup has been in the making for decades, but everyone points to the last 5 minutes as the key point we fucked up.

You'll probably see the BRICS countries ditching the dollar for their own currency within a few years. With USAID gone basically the entire global South will be looking towards China as well.

Once oil stops being sold in dollars and the dollar stops being a reserve currency, you'll probably start seeing hyperinflation and deficits and debts actually mattering a lot more than they currently do.

[-] ShotDonkey@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

And what has always, in all history, been the most effective metod to deflect from incompetence and one's own corruption? Yes. It will still be a military superpower by then. I hope I am wrong and that the people in the US act swiftly.

[-] MY_ANUS_IS_BLEEDING@lemm.ee 33 points 1 month ago

US soft power is gone now. The sheer treachery displayed in this Ukraine move has completely lost the trust of all of its allies. There's no way anyone can afford to rely on them for anything now.

[-] VerifiedSource@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

The threats to annex Canada and Greenland are the bigger breaches of trust than the moves around Ukraine.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago

I'm fully expecting American civil war in near future.

Because the easy times made weak people... People like Trump and Elon. And now the hard times are going to have to forge the strong people... After the weak and wealthy are done harvesting the remaining wealth of America.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 29 points 1 month ago

That whole "hard times make strong men" litany is pro-war gaslighting, not how humanity works.

The real (main) reason is the corporate takeover of every part of American society, including the parts that were supposed to defend against and denounce it.

In effect, you have to be a corporation or have a net worth of at least a hundred million dollars in order to have any real autonomy in the US and corporatist fascism is the inevitable result of that.

[-] SkyNTP@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 month ago

The "weak men" part is the part where people become so complacent, docile, and addicted to convenience that they allow the corporate takeover to happen.

Weak men creating hard times is happening right now, in real time, right on schedule.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 13 points 1 month ago

That's still not accurate. Propaganda is much more effective than most people are aware of/willing to admit.

You don't have to be weak or stupid to fall victim to effective messaging and when all of the most trusted sources of information repeat the same pro-corporate and anti-worker propaganda for several lifetimes, everyone who's not actively searching for independent sources (which is probably 25% of Lemmy but 75% of the general public) will inevitably be fooled into believing the lie since that's the only information they have available

Calling people weak for that is textbook victim blaming and pretending that all we need to solve the problems is to be "stronger" is the kind of oversimplification used in the lies that got us here.

[-] angrystego@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

You don't need good times to create weak people. You just need people to be stupid and easy to manipulate, which they are all the time by nature. That's all. WWII followed WWI, there were no good times before the nazi Germany. It didn't help.

[-] PyroNeurosis 7 points 1 month ago

Don't discount the Great Depression making "soft" people. Eating boot leather is the mark of a lavish and hedonistic lifestyle. /s

:lightbulb:

If we gave the Project 2025 crew Jira, it cpuld drag the entire operation to a halt.

Atlassian, your hour of need is at hand. It's time to Save Democracy! Let us send wave after wave of Scrum Coaches to chase down Musk toadies and demand they play Scheduling Poker before defunding the VA. Do they even have a Definition of Done for conquering Canada?

[-] jonne@infosec.pub 21 points 1 month ago

If there's one thing conservatives love, it's pointless ceremonies.

[-] zalgotext@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

That's genius. If there's one thing I know from my time working on government contracts, it's that the agile methodology grinds those contracts to a halt

I guess beauty is subjective.

[-] PyroNeurosis 11 points 1 month ago

The beauty here is the clean presentation and directness. Like a guillotine- everything you need to do the job, nothing you don't.

[-] FundMECFSResearch 9 points 1 month ago

Data is ~~Beautiful~~ Blandly Presented but Terrifying

[-] Maxxie 79 points 1 month ago

The republic is so unbelievably done.

Next mid terms the right will sweep the elections with Belarus-levels of fraud, in 4 years there'll be an amendment to officiate the thousand-years reich.

In 10 years -- world war 3.

[-] coaxil@lemm.ee 30 points 1 month ago

That long for a world war you think?

[-] MY_ANUS_IS_BLEEDING@lemm.ee 36 points 1 month ago

After the US has thrown Ukraine under the bus and carved it up with Russia, there will be a few quiet years as Europe arms itself and Russia re-arms. Then WW3 will kick off. Fuck knows which side the US will be on.

[-] VerifiedSource@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

If Trump manages to remove all non loyal officers, an invasion of Canada, Mexico, and Greenland is in the cards over the next two or three years even.

The chance of the US military fracturing and a resulting civil war is non zero, if the purge of anti MAGA officers fails. California on its own has major bases for the navy, air force, and marines.

An American civil war would leave the US unable to respond strongly to a Chinese invasion of Taiwan. China could use that opportunity to take the whole first island chain even.

I don't think so. I want to believe that they're doing so much wanton destruction to the federal government's administrative capacity that we'll simply (and peacefully) balkanize into a more EU style trade confederation of economically interdependent but legislatively independent nations. If I had to guess causes for a hot shattering of the federation, it'd probably be starting shit in Canada. Nobody but these fucking assholes want to start shit with Canada, and I could see it as an opportunity for regions interested in independence to put out feelers for international recognition and support (and potentially getting it). Under previous administrations, it would have been night impossible, but tweedle dee and tweedle dumb are also taking a huge shit all over the intelligence agencies that would have squashed such movements previously.

[-] DanVctr@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

We've always been at war with Eurasia

[-] DrDeadCrash@programming.dev 13 points 1 month ago

Do you really think Trump will wait that long? I think we might be on an accelerated timeline.

[-] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 month ago

In 10 years

I like your optimism.

Note that the current situation was done in just a single month

[-] ComfortableRaspberry@feddit.org 49 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

So they developed some kind of progress bar, that allows the whole world to track the USAs way to fascism? Interesting choice

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 17 points 1 month ago

If that were the case it would be at 96%

[-] Pondis@lemmy.world 47 points 1 month ago

I hate that this HAS to exists, this is basically an anxiety tracker. For Herr Trump to deny that he has had anything to do with this, its sure progressing at a steady rate.

[-] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 49 points 1 month ago

**Frau Trump

Don't forget: everyone in America is a woman now by her own executive order 👍

Commander, the Americans continue to make progress on the Avatar project. ... If we're going to slow them down, we need to move fast.
