    I can’t tell if Trump and Miller publicly distancing themselves from Project 2025 is a sign that they are too disorganized to actually come up with a plan for a prospective presidency without scaring the shit out of their own voters, or if this is some sort of carefully planned fascist doublespeak so that they can have their plan for dictatorship while they continue to give lip service to “liberty and freedom”.

      Nah, it’s just to keep the rubes (Read: undecided voters) confused. Trump’s supporters are in favor of Project 2025. They want him to embrace it, but they also know that if he does so publicly, the media would rake him over the coals that that could cost him some of the rube vote.

      So Trump publicly says he is not associated with 2025 and both his supporters and Biden’s supporters know he’s full of shit, but the undecided voters think he might be telling the Truth. If he actually admitted he’s all in on Project 2025, he’s lose the undecided vote because they don’t want to live in a Christian theocracy any more than Biden’s supporters do.
