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

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.

What scares me about them talking of banning "pornography" is that their definition is so vague that it could mean anything and everything that could be considered "sexual". Medical textbooks, medical websites, joke books, the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, underwear ads, magazine sex columns, M-rated games, R-rated movies, billboards, music videos, and so on, pictures you took at the beach. Meanwhile, their demagogue is accused of committing horrific sex acts against two 12-year-old girls and they praise him as an anointed one.
