No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Serious answers only. For over a year I was told that trump "doesn't have anything to do with that".

I honestly need to know from an actual Republican who believed trumps words and is now witnessing p2025 almost hit 50% completion with the department of education getting dismantled.

And with that; how do these people feel that public schools, daycare centers and tech schools all going to cost 3-6x as much as it does now for tuition?

According to my neighbors on neighborhood.com, it's fake news. Seriously. They simply don't believe Trump has anything to do with it.

However they’re told to feel

[–] 9tr6gyp3@lemmy.world 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The person i was talking to about it said that he doesn't want Project 2025 put in place, but also voted Trump and (as you said) said Trump "doesn't have anything to do with that".

When I went to talk to them again after the election, he had either deleted his account or blocked me after I ask about Trump appointing many involved with Project 2025.

I still don't see them as Trump's actual plan.

I'm like one of three conservatives here, do you really expect a response?

[–] badcommandorfilename@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Thanks for being honest. What is Trumps actual plan?

[–] Kaboom@reddthat.com 6 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Trump's plan is an attempt at putting America's economy back on track. Protective tariffs, less "aid" to foreign nations, deporting illegal immigrants, not acting like the world's police when it's Europe that will be affected most, that sort of thing.

[–] badcommandorfilename@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Contributions to global organisations is what is known as "soft power" - for example, the only time NATO article 5 has been invoked is by the USA after 9/11

And guess what - every other country stood up and came to America's defence. In the grand scheme of things, it's a pretty good deal to spend a few million for the billions you get back in cooperative agreements with the rest of the world.

How do you rectify the idea of not being world police with:

"I have signed a declaration to use emergency authorities to expedite the delivery of approximately $4 billion in military assistance to Israel. "?

Or is that somehow different?

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

I've been trying to crack this and it seems impossible. It's a black box. You can dismantle every policy by looking at it from a certain standpoint and trying to apply your subjective logic to it. But when Zionist Israel is on the table, all logic goes out the window.

We can take the presidents one by one:

Obama - change - doesn't change anything about relations and policies with Israel

Biden - staunch defender of Israel. Doesn't matter what they do, he condemns anything and everything bad, but Israel commits genocide and he doesn't even acknowledge it.

Harris - polls showed that she could have gained massive voter support, had she expressed anything in favour of Palestine and acknowledge genocide, but she decided to lose instead for some reason. Proof of what would win her the election wasn't enough. She could have lost the Zionist campaign funding and still come out ahead.

Trump - you'd assume he doesn't care about money because he already has it, doesn't care about power because he's literally the president of the most powerful nation. He's immune to prosecution, so Israel can't even have something as stupid on him as being a serial child rapist, he'd shrug it off. That stupid Gaza beach resort video. Still doesn't make sense from fiscal standpoint. He also breaks tradition and protocol on everything.

There could be better allies in the region, and there have been. But it has to be Israel for some reason, in its current apartheid and genocidal state. My only explanation would be that the Zionist government of Israel and the US government are one and the same on some level, somehow, somewhere.

I think the reasoning is very simple: Israel is extremely important in the Bible. Many conservatives like the Bible so supporting it seems good to them. Especially if it's against Islam which is associated with immigrants and terror.

they're not going to "snap out of it". what he does for them isn't the point. he could personally fire each and every Republican and fuck every one of their wives but as long as he's a big tough guy triggering the libz, it's all fine. this is just 21st century politics now.

Do you think that Project 2025 isn't what a bunch of conservatives want? It didn't just come from one person. A bunch of people wanted to vote for this.

Please insert face in designated slot; the next available leopard will feast on it momentarily.
