    Project 2025 seems to have 3 groups.

    • Those that are terrified about it.
    • Those that would be terrified if they knew more about it.
    • Those that think it won’t affect them or anyone they care about. (See leopards ate my face party)

      You forgot about group 4: The people who really want it to happen.

        I haven’t mentioned Project 2025 to my parents or my siblings because it is the culmination of everything they’ve been told they want since they voted for Reagan. It would make them vote harder. So yeah, you’re right.

      and a big issue is how many people from group 2 immediately move into group 3 when they are told about it

    I remember when Trump separated Mexican children from their parents and kept them in actual cages while moving their parents several states away without keeping any records of which children go with which parents. Lovely guy.

    “But not me,” think the people who will vote for him and have friends or family incarcerated.

      Once the consequences have landed in their backyard, they’ll suddenly care… and by then, it will be far too late to act (งツ)ว

      Yeah, because corrupt people who can completely control everyone in the government just can’t quite figure out how to beat the voting system. It is definitely in the people’s hands with this vote!

        They won’t have to do anything if defeatist like you just roll over and let them. Stop whining and do something, even if it’s just voting.

      Wait until the second Trump administration announces that if you’re Latino, you go to prison if you’re detained without your papers and if you’re queer, well, that’s just prison.

        I was honestly shocked when I looked for a source and found out we weren’t first anymore. We were first for a long time.

      I believe the response is in the territory of just because it’s bad now doesn’t mean it won’t get so much worse.

      I mean, I’m amazed we’re not 1st in incarceration… and Project 2025 thinks that’s losers numbers.

      Yes you are, and it is very convenient for the DNC that they can blame it on Trump, while taking bribes from private prison companies too. It is still the same cabal like around Bill Clinton who passed mandatory minimums for drug possession.

    Correction: a new era of mass incarceration of poor people. Trump pardoned many wealthy people in his first administration, no doubt that will continue.

      I mean… worse is different.

      ACLU didn’t say we’re going from a shining world to bad… they’re saying “OH BOY IF YOU THINK THINGS ARE BAD NOW!”
