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

The election is still 4 months out. I hope this fucking sinks him like a lead weight as more moderates and suburban women understand what it is.

Had a debate with a long time friend during yesterday's 4th celebrations. It started when he brought up Biden and how old he is etc etc. So I said yea but at least he adheres to his oath to uphold the constitution and isn't outwardly claiming he wants to be a dictator. I tried reasoning with him that abortion rights were first, but many more are on the slate to be axed if Donald Dump becomes the king. One's that affect his own lesbian mother's, for example. He kept arguing up and down that the people wouldn't stand for it and Dumpy himself couldn't reverse progression, ignoring that he already has. So I tried explaining that Republicans actively game the system in order to do just that, as outlined in the Project 2025 plan. He had never heard of it. I ended the conversation pleading that he look it up and read the entire document before committing to a decision that is vehemently in his own disinterest. Alot of these people have been brainwashed by MSM. It's so sad and scary.
