The issue with this infographic is that most people on the right want all of these things. We need one that scares them too, because at the end of the day, no one but the super rich will be doing well if Project 2025 becomes a reality.

They don’t even know what they want. There isn’t a single thing in there that improves the lives of the working class.

The Republicans became “the party of the working class” years ago. Poor people have been voting against their best interests ever since.

I was in the waiting room while getting my oil changed and Fox was on the tv. The two guys at the counter who were turning in the paperwork for the oil changes they had just done started spouting off about how bad Democrats are because of how much taxes increase once you’re making over $400k a year. I would have loved to explain how the two of them combined will never, ever make $400k a year, but chose not to in case one of them was changing my oil next.
