I feel like you guys are really trying to have your cake and eat it too on Project 2025. It’s a bunch of people directly tied to the previous Trump Administration laying out a road map for many of the things Trump has spoken about doing, endorsed by most conservatives as a tangible plan worth immediately implementing if Trump takes office, but it’s also a spooky boogeyman gotcha plot by the media elites trying to paint Trump as an extremist. You can’t fully support the plan, then cry because the media suggests your preferred Presidential candidate might actually do it.
My point isn’t that Trump will implement all (or even any) of the proposals. I’d look at this more like a Budget Proposal where the policy people give a wish list that gets watered down, but for policy proposals. It doesn’t change my core issue that the same people crying that people would try to link Trump to it are many of the same people hoping he does it. You can’t both push Trump to adopt it and whine that the other side is complaining he might.
It takes a bit **** on the first amendment, expands presidential powers, and also supports letting people in poverty starve to death.
Glad to know you are on board with such amazing values.

Well don't forget you diagnosed me as someone who wants millions of people to starve to death because you're an adult
Maybe. But uif Project 2025 got it's way, Biden would be able to do a more than simply "influence" him, and it would be completely legal.

I think the executive should have full executive privilege over any federal employee, outside of congress and the judiciary
If you support removing access for these people to get food, then quite clearly you are ok with the consequences of what that entails.

I actually did a little research following you're 4th grade level attack.
Feeding America is one of hundreds of charities and they feed over 40M people per year
They are better at it than DC.
You support worthless beaurocracies. I support effective solutions.
Bit it's easier to say I want people to die

Perhaps giving the executive the ability to act like an executive, we can finally get a smaller government
Why shouldn't the executive not be allowed to fire people under his purview?

Can you explain in your own words how it takes a **** on the 1st amendment?
Because the normal, everyday people working for the government shouldn’t have to worry about which party gets the 51% of the votes and which one gets the 49%. I can see valid arguments for *reducing* jobs in the federal government, but setting up a system where the random administrative roles are treated like a hockey line shift just seems dystopian to me.
These programs don’t operate in a vacuum. They fill in the gaps in the larger system and reduce the burden. But I can’t get behind a political philosophy that doesn’t at the very least keep people from starving if other people don’t answer the call.
