I've given myself an assignment to read and review the entirety of the "Project 2025" document, and post that review. We need to highlight how dangerous this document is, which means some of us have to take it on the chin and read the damn thing, and extract the text that makes it clear what their goals are. So far, I've not seen anything overtly authoritarian, but I'm not even through the Forword section yet. There's definitely a lot of Transphobic stuff in here, but transphobia is not the only thing. I've already called out "push as hard as possible to protect the unborn in every jurisdiction in America." They're not just coming for the Transgender people. We're ALL on the chopping block. Democracy be damned.
Leeja did a reasonable overview of it for those that don't want to read.
I would have liked page references so I can read the lines myself and reference them against Righties arguing for this shit, but yes, her video was very useful in understanding what this 900 page document is actually saying.
Arguing page and line number against righties is often a waste of time. And exactly the thing they want you to do. Not that people shouldn't. But personally I would rather read the silmarillian again. More power to you if you can slug through it. 🙂
They never stop with their first target. Nobody ever had a story of “and finally they came for X and I was grateful because it turned out I wasn’t on any of their lists”
Thanks for the effort. Personally, I never listened to any of Trump's speeches. I leave the work to people with stronger constitutions.
