He managed to fit the democrat's plan to stop it into a single tweet

Democrats: "Project 2025 will put our democracy is in danger!"

Leftists: "What are you guys doing about it? Are you running attack ads about it?"

Democrats: "One, 'you guys'? That's too familiar - isn't it? Two, we don't want to lose any independent voters. So - no. We aren't running any 'attack ads'. That would be counter productive. You don't understand how politics works, do you?"

Leftists: "Okay! lmao. What are you doing about it?"

Democrats: "Biden just tweeted about it."

Leftists: "How could a twe— You know what - just tell us what he said."

Democrats: "Google 2025."

Leftists: Confused "What? Is that a joke?"

Democrats: "You asked. We answered."

Leftists: "He tweeted 'Google 2025'... And that's it?"

Democrats: "We answered your question already."

Leftists: "lol! That's all?"

Democrats: "It's concise and to the point."

Project 2025 is just a conservative wishlist, and their policies have not changed at all, and will never change.

"Conservatives are being conservatives" is not a valid enough reason for vote for genocide joe.

"I remember when I was a little tyke in Scranton PA - my grandpappy said to me - 'Grandson Little Joe, do you wanna learn how to play chess?' I said 'No,' and grandpappy smacked me a good one across the face. I was mad then but it's good now. Builds character. So he brings out the chess set and sets up the pieces. He says 'I'll teach you en passant'. And he showed me. He said 'Do you know what it means?' I said 'No. And please don't hit me again.' He laughed and laughed!"

"He said 'The peasants have power. But just a tiny, teeny little bit. It's the rules of game. And how it should be. It's like the rules of life and nature.' My grandpappy was a wise man. Very wise. Never forgot that smack either. Young people today with the Google and the Tiktok are lazy and stupid. And no character. Maybe I shouldn't have said that but it's true! Lazy and stupid. And no character at all."

“Folks, I remember when my Great Grandad came home from the Civil War. Imagine that. I said hey grandad teach me chess why don’t ya. I said grandad what’s it mean to castle? He beat me with the rook so bad and said ‘Little Joe I’ve got tuberculosis’”

Joe buddy, you're on twitter. You need to type "google" into the adress bar and THEN you search for whatever you wanna learn about. This internet thing is pretty nifty huh?

I used to be a liberal so I feel weird for saying this - but I do not understand liberals at all anymore. Not at all. Here's a Bluesky post cheering this limp-ass "google it" bullshit.

From @chrislhayes.bsky.social's lips to the President's ears

I've mentioned it before but my favorite quote about liberals is... They don't want to win elections. They want to win arguments.

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 24 points 5 months ago

They don’t want to win arguments. They want to condescend and belittle.

Half of his voters are like "Wow this is against immigrants and gays it's not even that bad"

If Biden wins - Kamala is ready to win in 2028 by any means necessary. I can hear her voice in my head as she secretly talks on the phone to her besties and reminds them - "Project 2029 is gonna be my ticket to victory in 2028, girl! You know it! You know it!..."

Holy shit, one of the Blue Maga boomers in my orbit just posted about Project 2025 for the first time on the same day. I now predict that Joe Biden will certainly be the nominee because over-60s like the ones running the DNC are the only people that actually follow his instructions.

I'd love to be in a room with two other people for a debate. One of them is a DC-brained lanyard who ideally works in DC because it's funniest. The other is smart non-American middleschooler who is perfectly fluent in English who has - their choice - their phone or a PC in front of them. The kid doesn't know a thing about American politics but she's learned a great deal about fascism. And she - whoever she is - must love to ask questions.

She would be the audience. Me and the lanyard would be the debaters. Each of us would have a maximum of 30 minutes to make our case. The topic would be Biden's messaging. My take - of course - would be that it's moronic and stupid. His take - of course - is that it's seemingly modest but highly effective. It would be a kid of that age because I'm very lazy and I don't want to deal with the lanyard making things a mess by injecting endless amounts of nuance and details. She's old enough to know that's bullshit and still young enough to express that to a lanyard.

I'd demand to go first. My arguments require nearly zero effort on my part. I'd say to the kid - "The term the 'controlled opposition' is key here. The controlled opposition is a protest movement, opposing or dissenting voice that is actually being led and controlled by the government. In my opinion - the democratic party is the controlled opposition." We talk a bit. She could google if she wanted to.

After that - I'd talk to her about the "Google Project 2025" tweet. I'd ask that she google it because it's funnier and more powerful to see the stupid thing. I'd tell the kid to ask the lanyard why voting is so important if the democrats never do anything. The lanyard would take exception to this because the topic is messaging but I don't play fair. Then I'd surprise the lanyard by resting my case. I figure all of that would take 10 minutes tops.

I'd tell the lanyard that "to be fair" they could have my unused time if they wanted to. Then I'd be in great spirits and smiling as the lanyard flailed around trying to explain to the kid 'how politics works' in the US. I'd win the debate easily because the lanyard would have no good arguments to make. Ideally - they'd use my time too. With each minute they'd dig themselves into a deeper hole. Lanyards have lost contact with logic and common sense. They always seem to think any topic requires 10,000+ words to explain when it doesn't at all.

They have no idea how insane American politics is and how clearly insane it is to any outside observer. Explaining it isn't insane is a pretty good definition of somebody acting crazy.
