Why did the Wikipedia page views for Project 2025 skyrocket just after the election?

And if you're voting about taxes, why didn't you look at the numbers?

A Distributional Analysis of Donald Trump’s Tax Plan

Former President Donald Trump has proposed a wide variety of tax policy changes. Taken together, these proposals would, on average, lead to a tax cut for the richest 5 percent of Americans and a tax increase for all other income groups.

Taxes are going up for all but the top 5%. Enjoy your negative tax cut.
 
I hope taxes do go up on all but the billionaires. I hope benefits are cut. I’d be happy to see food stamps taken away. I know a ducking Trump MAGA supporter who is on social security disability and food stamps. Cut him off I say. Fuck em. Watch the place burn.

America deserves it. I just hope they’ll be enough left to redeem and rebuild a real democratic society.
 
the country has had it too easy economically the last 60 to 70 years. People have become soft and just take everything they have for granted. let the country burn and people will understand why things like social security, higher taxes on the rich, media had to offer two sides of a story, ect were put in place.
 
With the election a done deal, looking over the documentation of Trump's "plans" is an unfortunate neccessity right now. Certainly my colleagues and I in higher ed have been pouring through his nonsense, trying to deduce how much and whether his new policies will affect the coming academic year. Presumably there are many others in the same position. Your accountants and tax analysts, your investors and insurers, your police and fire, your school and city councils. Anyone who has to deal with the government.
 
Most Trump voters are like any other voters who believe the country is headed in a direction that doesn’t benefit them. Concerns such as the outsourcing of jobs, inflation, and both perceived and real biases on other domestic issues drive their decisions. While the media often emphasizes discussions about fascism, racism, and bigotry (and there is merit to those conversations), it’s notable that they steer clear of labeling Trump voters as the ‘1%’ hoarding wealth—likely because that’s an easily debunked claim. I understand why the majority of Trump voters made their choice. While there is a minority that is prouder to be degenerates than I am of being Black, most are struggling financially and view Democratic policies and rhetoric about equality as direct challenges to their way of life, even if their interpretation may not be entirely accurate.

My main issue with Trump voters (and, likewise, with those who support Democrats) is that politicians on both sides continue to prioritize the interests of the 1% over the rest of America. The entire spectacle of the DNC and RNC, amplified by profit-driven news organizations disconnected from everyday communities, only makes things worse. These media outlets, have talking heads who wouldn’t set foot in a grocery store, keeping the public so distracted and polarized that we’re on the brink of a modern return to a feudal-like system—where voicing dissenting political opinions could be risky or even seen as heretical.

Fox, CNN, and similar networks don’t represent us. They represent FOX or FOXA & WBD on NASDAQ. Anyone who regrets their choice for reasons other than recognizing that the entire system is fucked is likely to repeat the same mistakes.
 
I have never understood/will never understand the Trump voter. Their complete lack of character assessment skills. Even on surface details and style markers, Trump is revolting. Their model President says Fuck, Shit, Motherfucker, and Stupid Bastard in public appearances. And on and on. (I know they don't particularly care about the racist stuff.) This guy, a world leader, representing our country? This is our presentation? By extension, I have no clue what they think when they see moon-faced Elon Musk doing his weird iron-pumping moves or jumping jack dances on stage, shouting catch-phrases like some AMWAY crowd-warming act. Or Kennedy Jr., croaking his squirrel's nest notions of medical theory, like an eccentric in a Robert Altman film. None of this is acceptable in a modern, supposedly secular society. Yet here we are. Christians, your stupid motherfucking bastard hero is ready to exalt you and lead you to happiness and prosperity. (That's the language of American exceptionalism coming at you.)
 
Tough shit, Pedro. Should have paid a little attention before pulling that lever.

1. If you happen to be DACA and live near your parents, this is easy. Turn your mom in to ICE. Be there when they haul her away. Get video and send it to The Joe Rogan Experience.
2. If that's not your situation, tell people you're Samoan. It's a step in the right direction, and Trumpies won't know enough to understand what you're saying. They may ask you to belly dance or something.
3. Start driving a Ford pickup or El Camino. If it's the Camino, get the most jacked-up tires you can find.
4. Get a giant decal for your Ford/Camino with the Confederate flag and the message, 'If this flag offends you, you need a history lesson.' Also "I brake for Christians.'
5. Be seen a lot at Denny's or Cracker Barrel. Steer clear of Chipotles.
6. Learn the lingo. "I'm fixin' to..." or, even better, "I'm fittin' to..." are golden. Your dad is not Papi, he's Papaw (but again, be ready to turn him in.) Bonus points if you can pull off "Mighty white of you."
7. God Bless everybody. In fact, put this into every other sentence.
8. Wear a bandage on one ear.
9. Every so often, say, "I sure wish John Wayne was still around."
10. Learn all the latest Haitian, transgender, and Kamala jokes. Practice slapping your knee when laughing.

Project 2025 has the distinction of being the very first thing written by The Heritage Foundation that liberals believe.

Why would he regret voting for Trump? If he had voted for Harris does he think that would have made his MAGA neighbor’s kids more likely to play with his?

Apparently, a lot of Hispanics voted for Trump so maybe his kids can play with their kids.

Oh, there's lots of thing that come from the Heritage Foundation we believe. We believe they choose shit judges that make completely ridiculous judgements that benefit the righties that have to be followed.

You fail to understand.

We have always believed them about their intent. Where we find them utterly wrong is with their supposed facts.

Project 2025 is intent. It is completely consistent for us to believe it's what they intend.

Also true that when Jason’s ilk gets fucked in the ass in the process of fulfilling Trump’s “vision” they will blame Democrats, as instructed.
