Pete Buttigieg Thinks ‘We’re Still Underreacting to Project 2025’
(www.jezebel.com)
And he’s right.
Fair.
It’s that whole part where after 8 years of more or less constant duress, for one reason or another, there’s a limitation on how much more catecholamine response can be elicited within the human body. People are tapped out.
Probably why this joyful shit is so effective. Context truly is everything.
But yeah, both my uterus and my mental health are shuddering in horror at Project 2025. I can’t read all 996 pages, but I’ve read through some items. Ezra Klein podcast had a nice hour long discussion with both left and right regarding how this is a gender election, at the visceral level. For both men and women. Toxic masculinity does no favors for men, long term.
We really are just cave people with laptops.
Who is “we”?
I have only one official act I can do to “react” to P2025, and that’s vote for anyone opposed to theofascism in the US. Am I, personally, suitably horrified at what the theofascists want to do to what remains of democracy in this country? Absolutely.
But other than civil disobedience or outright revolt, that’s all most of us can do to react to Project 2025.
Posting online and raising awareness in general can be helpful for movements. Which is exactly why conservatives get so upset about SJW - online campaigns work.
If we stopped donating to specific campaigns and started donating to organizations that are lobbying against voter suppression we could all do much more than our single vote allows
We don’t have money to donate.

The most worrisome thing is project 2025 doesn't go away if Harris gets in. She'll simply be the person holding their finger in the dyke.
Yes, even if a fuckin miracle happens and Gen Z shows up to obliterate the Republicans in Congress and Democrats get a freaking supermajority, they won't have gone away. Their billionaire backers will still be gagging to overthrow democracy, they'll just give up on that avenue of attack.
Well than they aren't explaining it well enough, maybe bring up schedule 7, which is a fundamental part of project 2025 and the start of a potential dictatorship
Ima put that one on the media. I'm out here raising the flag, yo.
Yeah because wasn't he like a counter-terrorist intelligence officer or something? I'm sure this reeks to high hell to him.
