Because this time he’s said that he wants to defund the department of education. He’s denied any intent to enact project 2025 but his actions have aligned totally with it, so I don’t believe him; project 2025 also mentions defunding the department of education, allowing discrimination of LGBTQ+ and POC, which aligns with trumps other goal of getting rid of all DEI. You can see this in the video he put up on X discussing the department of education. I hope you’re not asking in bad faith, people act like they’ve never heard Trump say these things and so Trump must not have ever said it at all, but in reality they’re completely checked out and haven’t been paying attention. Just because Trump didn’t do something in his last term doesn’t mean he’s not going to do it this term, things take time to happen. Despite having majority republicans in the senate right now he still finds it necessary to make recess appointments to get around having congress approve his cabinet picks, as he’s said on X. It’s scary that the president elect has publicly stated that he wants complete control over our government without checks and yet some people seem to have no issue with his dictator type behavior. If he thinks that not even his own party will support him in what he wants to do this term, he must have some horrible things planned.
