Project 2025’s 180-Day Playbook is a remarkably detailed guide to turning the United States into a fascist’s paradise.

    Conservatives Plan to Ban Abortion and Cut LGBT Rights

    There’s a problem with this headline.

    If they f**k with long-established law like this, they’re not “conservatives”.

      Conservative doesn’t mean they don’t want to change things, that’s an intentional misconception. Its obvious if you see how much settled precedent they are willing to overturn. Conservatives just believe they deserve power, they think they have the divine right to rule over others and that other people do not have that right.

        Indeed; they are the masters of Orwellian doublespeak.

      I used to think that, but these days I think it’s basically the No True Scotsman fallacy. When most of the the people who call themselves conservative are fascists, then conservatism is fascism. It wasn’t always, but it is now.

      Sure they are. It’s just what they considered long established and what you consider long established are different. They don’t want to go back to the 70s. They want to go back to the Gilded Age. Or Hell a straight-up feudal monarchy.

      They’re conservative insofar as they think peak society was when only cishet white men were allowed to participate.
