ChatGPT, write comments in the smartass voice of me and post them @Reason.
This bullshit again? Go read Project 2025 then maybe you'll have some substance for your smear piece
If you want more paid subscriptions, maybe don't trot these articles as your "best."
Sadly, this is the best Reason can do anymore.
Reason: If Trump's second term is anything like his first then there's no need to fret over Project 2025 because the incompetent sycophants he surrounds himself with won't be able to get anything done.
Idiot Brigade: You hate Trump! You hate Project 2025! You don't even know what's in it! You want Harris to win!
nobody gives a fuck about P2025. start there. end there.
The people attacking anyone who is even tangentially critical of it sure fooled me.
fishermen catch fish.
That's weird. Everyone you cry about has criticized Trump. They just don't push DNC lies about him like you and Jeff do.
Who?
So broken. Poor sarc.
Poor sarc.

The Best of Reason: Project 2025
Says it all, right there in the title.
Democrats and their Marxistarian Enablers here at Reason are obsessed with that nothingburger that nobody has signed on with since it was published.
And they never actually discuss what's IN it or why it's objectionable. I'm pretty convinced at this point that they just keep saying it because it sounds scary and ominous.
Clown. World.
