Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
1. *Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.*
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- *Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.*
- *Be civil, No violations of TOS.*
It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- *No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments.*
Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- *Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.*
- *No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning*
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
*That's all the rules!*

NOTUS....? Not the Greek god of hot, south wind, not Nepotism of the United States.
It's this: https://www.notus.org/
Looks okay at first glance
Pretty sure we all knew it was real.
Interesting that they see swing voters as "libs" by default.
Because anyone not as right as themselves is a "lib".
What was that greatest trick that the devil pulled again? Oh well, I'm sure those are unrelated thoughts.
Turns out an election and president CAN be bought.
The irony is that corporate America and wealthy individuals have been doing this for several decades, and you're acting like it just started! 50 years of neoliberalism created the conditions for fascism to succeed.
Yes, but we'd be playing ourselves for fools if we didn't admit that this time it's different.
I'd say the only thing that's different is the volume and blatantness of the corruption. Selling out the country for profit is always criminal, and it's so bad they don't even need to hide it anymore; decades of legalized corruption, putting corporations first, and zero consequences created the conditions for Trump to go mask off .
On the cheap, too, considering Trump's campaign raised a fraction of Harris's....
Got the discount because of massive leverage over Trump - unless he won the election, he was eventually going to face serious criminal
charges. Now he stands a good chance of getting off entirely scott free.
(We learned this in 2016)
You'll never go broke betting on the gullibility of the average American voter.
What can I market them to become rich?
Right now probably some tariff insurance that'll do nothing or deportation insurance that'll do nothing.
Also if you can buy any electronics that you foresee being in demand and hold them for a while I bet you'll get quite the payday if the tariffs go into effect.
Surely there was a better angle than 'up some dude's nose'
Per the image description, that dude is
Lara Trump lmfao
If we give them the benefit of the doubt, maybe it's a metaphor for slipping it under our noses?🤷♀️
Based on:
This was all too expected.
Oh, and thanks to the bothsiderist media acting like people were just being "partisan" or "alarmist" over this stuff.
But I was informed by some Lemmy users that Project 2025 was nothing to worry about and that if we were worried about it we were believing the propaganda that it was a boogeyman. And that Project 2025 was Harris's plan if she came into office too. And that it had also already been partially implemented under Biden as well. Is it possible that maybe that was wrong? That the Lemmy users saying that were actually the ones spouting the propaganda to not be scared about it? The propaganda that says that it's just a new iteration of the Mandate for Leadership and nothing to worry about?
No that can't be true.
