    Meh.

    I highly doubt this is Trump voters suddenly hearing about Project 2025 and deciding to go look it up and realizing it’s bad for them.

    I would wager that this is predominantly voters that didn’t need the gory details of Project 2025 to be convinced to vote against Trump. But now that he’s been elected 🤮, preparing for what’s to come makes the gory details suddenly relevant.

      That’s why I googled it as a Harris voter. I’ve read the high level talking points, listened to the podcasts calling out the big bads - but it’s like 900 pages. I was hoping for a pdf that would give me some roadmap of the utter shit storm heading my way.

      This describes me to a tee. I plugged my ears on all of the campaign stuff knowing I was going to vote D regardless of what was happening on the politics side.

      I work in international development and there is already enough sadness and frustration in keeping abreast of news in that sphere.

      Now I can’t afford to blissfully ignore all US political news so I need to do some reading to understand what’s coming my way. I really hate it here.
