It's based on the quote he said where he said he "created stories"

"If I have to create stories so that the American media actually has to pay attention to the suffering of American people, then that’s what I’m going to do,” said Vance, a U.S. Senator representing Ohio

"Rejected"

Agenda 47 (styled by the Trump campaign as Agenda47) is the manifesto of the Republican Party presidential candidate Donald Trump,

[...]

In 2023, Trump campaign officials acknowledged the Project 2025 aligned well with Agenda 47

[...]

Agenda 47 and Project 2025 share many themes and policies, including expanding presidential power such as through reissuing Schedule F,[15]: min.00:14 [16] cuts to the Department of Education, mass deportations of illegal immigrants,[17] the death penalty for drug dealers, and using the US National Guard in liberal cities with high crime rates or those that are "disorderly".[18][19][20]

I want to know how someone figured this out. Were they accidentally playing it at the same time or just noticed something was rhythmic and then tried different songs?

Your number will almost certainly be given to a variety of republican campaigns and see spam from many different numbers. Good luck blocking all of them

Realistically, it most likely signs you up for a deluge of spam texts about donations and the like to trump

"Concepts of a plan" is probably the best quote imo

There already sort of is one in the US for candidates who exceed a certain threshold of the vote. It comes with spending limits that could be exceeded by a lot by raising money outside it, so parties stopped taking it. Plus tax payers have to opt into doing it, and the rates of people doing so have dropped over time

If you've ever filed US income taxes and seen the question

"Do you want $3 of your federal tax to go to the Presidential Election Campaign Fund"

That's what it's referring to

I think you forgot a zero there or added an extra one to the dollar amount. 47 million / 600 thousand = $78.3333 per person

Average is much more reasonable

* the biggest reason being that the Supreme Court overturned a prior law to stop super pacs from having unlimited spending in Citizen United. Sure, maybe Congress could pass the same law again only for the court to overturn it 6-3

You have to fix the Supreme Court for that. It'd be difficult to regulate spending in primaries either because money is "free speech" according to them

Before someone else mentions it:

Yes it would be better to not have a system that needs so much money, but until citizens united is overturned it unfortunately still matter. Plus there being more small donors is good news since it helps campaigns be less reliant on big money

No more presidential debates, but there's still the VP debate unless JD Vance backs out (which he might)

Couldn't even commit to the "concepts of a plan" for a second debate
