[1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2024-09-02 Is Project 2025 dead? NO, of course not! But people aren’t talking about it as much as they should be, and many low-information voters STILL don’t know about it. Don’t fool yourself, there are a lot of people out there who haven’t heard anything about this mess. As of Aug 19th: As awareness of Project 2025 has steadily increased, Americans oppose the plan by double-digit margins. 47 percent of Americans report having seen, read, or heard something about “Project 2025,” described as “a series of conservative policy proposals aimed at reshaping the executive branch of the federal government if a Republican is elected president in 2024” a 23 point increase since May of this year (24 percent). The most commonly cited words among those who have heard something about Project 2025 include “Trump,” “conservative,” “government,” “Republican,” and “take away.” Take a look at that top line “not sure” number and ask yourself how much a little education would help protect our democracy. 47% awareness is good, but that 39% number is a big chunk of gettable mindshare. I just want to repeat the last line of the quote above: “The most commonly cited words among those who have heard something about Project 2025 include “Trump,” “conservative,” “government,” “Republican,” and “take away.” Americans (humans actually) hate the idea of having their stuff taken away so think about how this is landing with people who hear about Project 2025. Trump is trying very hard to distance himself from this mess…. and why is that? When people learn about Project 2025 they end up moving toward Kamala and Trump knows this. Of course Trump only does what is in HIS best interest so it is in OUR best interest to keep up the pressure on him. It’s also amazing because the ideas in Project 2025 are not new, but this is really the first time the right-wing nutjobs actually wrote them down and published them. They gave us a roadmap to use against them, so we should take the gift! It’s like the opposing team showed up at our locker room door and handed us their playbook along with a videotape of their practice sessions. With that in mind, please check out this website and share it far and wide: www.25and.me/… It will let you search for items you care about, or more importantly, the things that your “on the fence” family and friends care about by subject. It’s certainly not a flashy site, but it is very informative. It also has a great feature that lets you share the specifics of the proposal with others. VERY helpful because the site does all the work for you. I will let Belle explain it a little more: Let’s not let Project 2025 go on the back burner. When we fight, we win! That means we need to be happy warriors like Kamala and Tim, but we still need to attack Trump and the GOP where they are most vulnerable, and that’s Project 2025.
