      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.

    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)

        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.

    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.

      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!”
