Paladin, TRUMP DID NOT GET A MAJORITY OF THE VOTE. He got close, but did not get a majority. On top of that a GOOD chunk of those who voted for him have no clue what is in Project 2025, all they heard was 'Trump make economy good, Kamala make economy bad'.

Trump picks Project 2025 co-author Russell Vought to lead budget office

Trump named Vought, who played a central role in designing Project 2025, to head up the Office of Management and Budget in his second term.

EVERYTHING the Project 2025 alerts warned us about is going to happen, and the majority of Americans want it to.

Most Americans have almost no clue what Project 2025 even means. It has been demonstrated for YEARS that, when presented with policy (without partisan information), MOST Americans actually skew towards Democrat positions.

But Republicans are able to sell their spin better, and it’s usually some variation of ”You’ll have more money under Republicans”

 

[Ungnome]

You'd think Americans would wake up to their tactics by now. Trickle down economics has only benefited the rich and it's been like 40 years since Regan....

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

Unfortunately, the average American is very stupid, very ignorant, or both. And if that's the average, imagine how the lower half must be.

 

[Ungnome]

I know that, doesn't mean it doesn't hurt when I am reminded about that(and I AM reminded about that daily due to my job).

Is RFK Jr a DNC sleeper agent? He says he will work to get fluoride taken out of drinking water because it is lowering IQ. No federal body does anything other than advise on this issue, so it isn't likely that he will have any effect, but if he does and IQ starts going up, won't that damage the GOP?

 

[Pocket]

I never understood the fluoride thing. Is it just left behind from the process they use to disinfect it, or are they actually trying to claim that the two seconds it spends flowing through your mouth as you drink it is an effective substitute for brushing your teeth?

 

[wonko the sane?]

It, quite effectively, fights tooth decay. It's a dirt cheap option in places that have lackluster oral hygiene to raise overall population health. It's marginal in places (one would assume like the first world.) but it also has no draw backs. It doesn't hurt, doesn't do anything long term if you already have decent hygiene, and it's (again.) dirt cheap. Doesn't replace brushing your teeth, but it helps overall and long term physical and oral health.

And I know all this because montreal is once again fighting to stop adding it to the local water supply. The city with the most lead in the pipes in north america is fighting to get the flouride out of the water.

 

[Steevy Maximus]

Yeah, the lead in the aging North American water infrastructure is probably a FAR greater health concern than whatever adverse effects Flouride might impart.

 

[Pale Rider]

As a Gen-Xer who used to drink from the hose after long days of playing outside, I have mild fluorosis spots on my front teeth and there's no way to get rid of them.

I've been anti-fluoride my whole life due to that, long before Dr. Brainworm made an issue out of it. I'd rather brush my teeth with fluoride toothpaste if oral health is the goal.
