Why the GOP Removed Anti-Gay Language From Its Platform

Amid many Republicans’ continued hostility to LGBTQ rights in state legislatures, Democrats call the RNC’s removal of opposition to same-sex marriage “political theater.”

Leaked Project 2025 Training Videos Show Former Trump Officials Detailing Plans to Dismember Gov’t

As Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump tries to downplay his connection to the far-right policy agenda known as Project 2025, ProPublica and Documented have just published dozens of training videos by the group that show how the conservative movement is gearing up for the next Republican administration. It’s an effort led by the conservative Heritage Foundation think tank and other groups to remake the federal government, including by replacing civil servants with thousands of partisan political appointees who would help carry out the extreme policies envisioned by Project 2025. Many of the people who crafted the policy blueprint are former top Trump officials. The training videos include discussions about undoing climate policy, combatting diversity efforts, denying freedom of information requests and more. “The first time that Trump … got elected, his operation was very unprepared. They did not have a bench of people ready. There was chaos, there was confusion, and that set back that administration for perhaps months, maybe even a year or two,” says ProPublica reporter Andy Kroll. “If he is elected again, that will not be the case.”

Robert Jenrick, Priti Patel, and several other senior Conservative figures have close connections to a U.S. think tank that has authored a radical right-wing, anti-climate agenda for a future Donald Trump administration.  The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 is considered so extreme that Trump has tried to distance himself from the manifesto, calling it “ridiculous and […]

@persagen Regardless of country or party, fear of hunger and desperation are core to conservative ideology. Usually, though, they use terminology like 'incentive.'

  • Incentive to work
  • Incentive to accept substandard wages
  • Incentive to not take vacation or sick days
  • Incentive not to risk unionizing
  • Incentive to view others of the same class as competition
  • Incentive to accept mere existence as an economic tool for the rich as a living standard.
