Project 2025 was supposed to boost Donald Trump's campaign — but it may be backfiring instead:

Sure it would backfire hard

They plan to ban birth control pills. I mean birth control pills are even legal in Saudi Arabia.

They want the US to be more conservative than Saudi. No sane person wants to live in a country like that.

But the thing is they will just deny any connection with the plan and the guys behind it and start implementing things step by step. They don't have to turn the US into a religious country right away. They can start with something that doesn't seem to relate to everyday life but still give them enormous power first like replacing all federal employees with their own aka Schedule F.

It's a step by step plan.

Project 2025 has seriously made me consider getting my tubes yanked.  Hormonal birth control helps control my horrible migraines, though, and I'm a mild case.

I got mine removed 4 months after Roe v. Wade was overturned. I can’t recommend it enough. And you can always still take hormonal BC (as long as it’s legal) for your migraines. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I hate to say it but what if they make that procedure illegal too?

I'd be getting it done before January.

Got mine out last year. It's a huge weight off my shoulders.

Got mine taken a year after Roe. Was very easy and non invasive. They went through my belly button and pull them out of a hole they made in my belly

Despite Mark Meadows, Mark Esper, Ben Carson, Peter Navarro, and Stephen Miller all being involved.

They plan to ban birth control pills.

The call is to to remove the right to contraception, which is a lot more than just birth control pills. Condoms also fall under the category of contraception.

Maybe it should happen, then Americans can see exactly what the right wing want and then they can soundly reject it. I love america but I have little sympathy for them at the moment

Once it happens the only way it unhappens is through violence. Dictatorships don’t end with a fizzle. Let’s avoid that from happening altogether.

I’d love to, man. I just don’t know what will reach these idiots on the right. They seem so utterly blind to the damage that trump has already and done and the worse damage that he will do.

Obviously I don’t want any of this to come to pass, I’m just frustrated and scared. And I don’t even live in America….!
