    He has always contradicted himself in different settings because he is a bullshitter who says what he thinks people want to hear. He does it more in the same setting or even sentence now than he used to, but there is zero chance he has forgotten what Project 2025 is as a concept.

      Oh yeah absolutely; I’m not saying it’s likely he doesn’t know what Project 2025 is, just that his – and conservatives’ more generally – goals align with it so people associated with it are going to end up in positions of power if he gets elected.

      Not that Republicans need Trump to win to implement the Project, and in fact they’re already doing it on federal and state levels. See eg. this PDF fact sheet[1] by Appropriations Committee Ranking Member Rosa DeLauro. And here[2] is an article about how the Project is connected to Tennessee lawmakers and legislation, as an example of state level stuff

      Trump knows the transaction behind it, he trades the democracy/freedoms of the US to the christofascists in exchange for being the “dear leader” the playbook helps consolidate power around. He can then squash all his legal problems and ride out his days LARPing being Putin until his dementia becomes an issue and the party “retires” him.
