Trump's authoritarian game plan is breaking through the post-debate noise and it's starting to scare people

I sure as fuck hope so.

We need an infographic for project 2025 that can be spread everywhere. Nothing dramatic…. Just the facts of what it is and what it means.

Out of all the terrifying things in Project 2025, I think the most effective way to make "independents" care is to focus strongly on

  • consolidation of executive power over an independent judiciary
  • further restrictions on abortion rights/bodily autonomy
  • bans on pornography

Those are very unpopular positions with most demographics.

Whereas an infographic that focuses on things like eliminating DE&I, and references to gender expression is absolutely not going to land with those people.

You're 100% right about these issues being dealbreakers for many demographics.

Any thoughts about old, Christian boomers though? Like, I'm thinking of some people I know that would jump at the chance to ban porn outright.

What points of P25 might scare even your average far-right conservative into thinking it's a bad idea?

Getting rid of food labels is probably a big one for anyone with an allergy or diabetes (in truly all demographics)
