    Trump World sounds like the shittiest theme park. Even worse than that Willy Wonka Experience.

      You’d be surprised at just how little the average voter knows about politics. There’s a reason a lot of people wish politics would go back to being boring and not something everyone talked about.

        Plenty of them are informed, and DGAF.

        Tribalism and decades right wing propaganda mean that they’ll vote for anyone on the GOP ticket, even when they are clearly terrible and debatably conservative.

        I was so naive so as to think there was no way we’d elect Trump.

        Now I just assume we’ll do the dumbest thing on offer.

      Trump got too many votes in 2016, and even more than that in 2020, and you’re surprised at how uninformed American voters are?

      Our press is too busy with far more important issues than Trump’s advisors plotting a fascist takeover of the country. You know, like Biden being old.

    Please, weaponize this! I know the last place you want to go is a Fox News comment section or FB posts but these people need to see how they will be personally affected too.

    Weaponize the cuts to social security and medicare as much as you can. Yes, lots of conservatives are a lot cause. But I’m not asking you to reach them on the moral issues, I’m asking to get them rightfully scared of losing social security and medicare/medicaid. Make it personal.

      They also need to know they don’t need to vote for anyone. It’s perfectly valid to leave the space blank if they are not comfortable voting for Biden.

      The option exists to not vote straight R, and no one will ever know. They can vote Biden and vote R for everything else, and still pretend they voted for Trump.

        Better to try to get them not to vote at all I think. Push that and it might convince them to go vote when they might possibly have been willing not to. And other offices are also very important.

          We can all pretend to have so much outrage over Biden and his debate. Clearly the last four years in office of him doing a great job mean nothing, only that debate mattered. No way we can vote anymore, my fragile liberal heart couldn’t take it!

    BS. This is exactly what Rump world wants. They love consolidation of power, Christian nationalism, and taking power away from non-white men. They are worried that centrist and moderate red voters will hear about it.

    Sadly my Right Wing friends insist it’s “Just the Heritage Foundation” and that the “REAL” GOP already rejects it

    So naive…

      No conservative voter thinks poorly of Project 2025. Every conservative in the U.S. is either fine with it or excited about it.

      A conservative who pretends it’s not their platform is lying, either to placate you or to save face.

      Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation, even when those words come from friends or family.

    They were proud of it up until not long ago, trusting to the ignorance of the “average American” about policy details. Then the Supreme Court ruling came.

      What a bunch of idiots. A group funded by their politicians that frequently provides them with “model” legislation now has a manifesto regarding how to overthrow democracy and we’re supposed to believe it’s no big deal.

    Just learning what this is - and it honestly sets off my BS detector.

    Seems like a great way to other people who support any kind if conservative position.

    Not American though, so it’s hard to even tell if shit like this is real from the outside…

      Our conservatives aren’t like conservatives elsewhere in the world. Our liberals are like your conservatives, policy wise.

      Our conservatives are brainwashed by four decades of targeted conservative media that’s explicitly designed to keep them in an anger loop in order to create a political climate where republicans (who are the actual politicians) don’t have to appeal to the conservative base with actual policy.

      Republicans, through channels like Fox News and OANN (seriously, go watch some of it and see what we’re dealing with here) have demonized everyone to the left of them so hard that entire generations of conservatives genuinely believe that there’s a bloody revolution coming.

      It would be nice if it were actually bullshit, but these lunatics who make up half of our voting population put a con-man entertainer with zero political experience in the whitehouse for four years and installed conservative justices to our highest court who are systematically dismantling our democracy.

      It’s very real. It’s so real that some of the less insane conservatives are waking up to how dangerous the details of this plan actually are, and that’s why Republicans are panicking about this.

      The Heritage Foundation is wild, and one of the most significant public policy groups with deep ties to American conservatism. Basically, any crazy policy that the Republican party has taken on as a major party plank in the past 50 years has a distressing high chance of having its roots in Heritage’s recommendations.

      For example, in 1981:

      Among the 2,000 Heritage policy recommendations, approximately 60% of them were implemented or initiated by the end of Reagan’s first year in office.
