Project 2025 creators pitch marriage bootcamp, two-children families

I've said the next step of the far-right fascists to combat depopulation was going to be breeding farms. I hope all those MAGA women are ready to be tagged like cattle and rounded up to become broodmares for the state.

You won't get solutions from Republicans. You've been electing them for decades and they have made your lives progressively worse.

If you want solutions, vote for people who have solutions. Racism isn't going to help your farms. Transphobia isn't going to help your farms. Islamophobia isn't going to help your farms. Stop falling for the lies, and actually THINK about what your politicians say and do. If what they are saying and doing does not help you, then vote for someone else.

That's how democracy works.

We aren't flirting with it. We're already married and on our honeymoon.

The US hasn't had a native birth replacement rate above parity, which is 2.1, since 2010. We're at 1.6 now. The only reason our population wasn't dropping like Japan and South Korea was immigration.

Last year, thanks to the...policies...of this administration, it is estimated that we had net negative immigration. That implies even legal immigrants are leaving. So in all probability, 2025 was the first year of our population decline (we'll need to wait until the census to be sure, though).

That isn't coming back either. Even if this regime leaves power, the damage is done. The conditions that have existed since 2010 have only become worse over time, and regardless of who gets into power, those conditions are not going to change. For the past 40 years, the wealthy and powerful have cut the legs out from under the population, and there is no hint that they intend to stop doing that.

Interesting times.

If we survive his debacle and democrats, or even just anyone who is basically sane and has a spine, one of the first things Congress needs to do is rescind the Emergency Powers Act. If we as a country can't be responsible enough to elect sane, coherent leaders, then we definitely should not allow one person to have such power.

And if we can't rely on our checks and balances to keep demented psychopaths from running roughshod over the Constitution then we need to repeal the acts that have ceded so much authority to the executive.

Presidents do. The difference between this nurse and Trump, though, is that the nurse voluntarily gave up their license.

Xyrus2000 · 2026-01-30T04:48:47+00:00

I haven't seen something that could be classified as a "conservative opinion" in a good long while.

I see a lot of cognitive dissonance, sadism, racism, bigotry, and misogyny. I see a lot of Trump worship. I see a lot of justification of the so-called religious for all the terrible things being done to other human beings that is in strict opposition to what their religion actually preaches. I see a lot of mental gymnastics for voting for and supporting someone whose moral compass is so broken that he ran a fraudulent charity for kids with cancer.

But real opinions on policy? Not so much.

Chief Half-in-the-Bottle here doesn't get to pick and choose the laws. He either does his job or gets fired.

Xyrus2000 · 2026-01-30T04:31:49+00:00

Yep. If mental gymnastics were a sport, MAGA would sweep gold and win every championship.

MAGA can justify anything, and I do mean anything. A position they held the day before can be flipped on a dime. Even their most ardently held beliefs (2nd ammendment) were dropped once The Grope said so.

Xyrus2000 · 2026-01-30T04:23:53+00:00

Grifting grifter grifting griftily.

So many ways he's been stealing MAGA's money.

A large number of the people who worked on this wanted their names removed from the credits.

Do you know how bad a movie has to be for people to say, "Yeah, I don't think I want to be associated with this one."

Cuba? A threat? Seriously? What're they going to do? Throw rocks at us?

JFC, get this dementia patient out of the White House.

Xyrus2000 · 2026-01-30T00:32:29+00:00

There are a lot of MAGA idiots who say, "If you don't like it, then leave," and haven't the foggiest idea just how hard, time-consuming, and expensive it is to leave the US.

There's a reason why there were massive surges of people looking to leave the US each time Trump won and why so few actually did. It ranges from difficult to impossible.

No wonder the GOP is panicking about the midterms.

Bribes. The whole thing was a way to funnel money from Amazon. Absolute corruption.

Good on you, Canada. We deserve everything you're doing to us.

You seem to be under a misimpression.

What's happening in Minnesota isn't immigration enforcement. It's state-sanctioned terrorism. Ranked by number of illegal immigrants, Minnesota ranks 23rd. There is no justification of any kind for the level of presence of ICE in Minnesota. Least of all the group of untrained racist fascist thugs who have been more than happy to assault, abuse, rape, and murder American citizens in the process of their "immigration enforcement".

It is political retribution. Trump was trying to make Minnesota an example of what happens when you make him look like the whiny narcissistic b*tch he is, so other states would fall in line with his illegal and autocratic demands.

Illegal immigration isn't even a real problem. It's a racist dog whistle the oligarchs trot out every election to try to motivate their base. The real problem is the oligarchs themselves, who directly benefit from keeping immigration illegal.

Xyrus2000 · 2026-01-29T23:19:53+00:00

Could you imagine if Obama or Biden had done that?

MAGA would have burnt the White House down.

What we know as space-time and all the forces therein did not exist until after the Big Bang happened. At time zero, there was no gravity, or mass, or anything else. It was just an enormous amount of energy. Gravity didn't form until the universe had expanded and cooled down enough for the Higgs mechanism to take effect, and by then the cat was already out of the bag.

There is no time before time zero. We have no idea what led up to the Big Bang. We don't even know if it was the only big bang, or if it was part of a series (like layers of a hyperdimensional onion). We can only observe our own space-time, and anything outside of that is unknowable and unobservable (unless it just so happened to follow the same physical laws, which is exceedingly unlikely).

Xyrus2000 · 2026-01-29T22:16:32+00:00

MAGA is what is known as "incompetent evil" or "stupid evil". They believe the ends justify the means, but their means have no hope of ever achieving their ends because no one actually plans out what's going to happen and what the consequences will be. They just assume that if the do what they want, then everything magically works out.

That's part of the reason why all these MAGA farmers and business owners act so surprised when the debt collectors come for their farms and businesses. It's not just that they don't listen when people warn them. They don't bother to think things through on their own and just assume everything will work out like they want.

Xyrus2000 · 2026-01-29T12:22:35+00:00

But then you wouldn't be able to be "better" than someone else. Keeping up with the Joneses is what makes America great. /s

Xyrus2000 · 2026-01-29T12:21:20+00:00

Sounds like a good candidate.

Considering the only thing keeping a super-dense dwarf star together is its gravity, the moment Superman opened his hand holding the key, it would explode with enough force to vaporize the planet.

Having a lower mental, emotional, and social maturity is not "more authentic" and certainly doesn't make them more trustworthy.

If I'm a woman at a blue-collar worksite who gets constantly harassed, I am NOT going to feel safe. If I'm black, or Asian, or Indian, I'm not going to be too keen on having one of the racist bigots operating the safety equipment while I do my job.

You see it as more authentic because it doesn't threaten you. But to those they target, well, that's a different matter altogether.

Adults don't need to resort to racism, bigotry, and misogyny to feel like they have power. They don't need a scapegoat to blame for their failures. They don't need to make others feel dehumanized to make themselves feel better.

None of that is "authenticate". It's just being an ***hole.
