See what I mean Maria you’re just full of brainwashed shit. Your whole thread is full of bullshit that the left used to brainwash your pathetic, small tiny little IQ and now it’s probably about 50. You probably need somebody to wipe your ass for you just to make it through a day.go fuck yourself you dumb bitch

Please seriously look at convincing Biden to pass power to Harris and she stays in power to fight in the Russian take over. It is not abour following the apparent vote count or smooth transition. That is sweet but this is war they must justify this by seeing this as a Russian takeover with Trump the bomb.

Do not acceot Trump taking power while we try to deal for 4 or more years it must be stopped from happening.

We are the next Ukraine if we just do not stop the take over. This is war, we must respond as such.

We fight back by convincing Biden to keep power and not leave. This was not an election but a Russian takeover. The electiin was the scam.

What I really need and desperately hope to hear soon are specifics. Exactly how will local politics in small towns make a difference in the horror we are about to witness? Where *specifically* are there guardrails to stop implementation of *specific* items in P25? The latter is what I most want to know,

Earthjustice, one of the major organizations fighting to protect wilderness and wildlife posted this to alert people as to the dangers of Project 2025. I found it extremely helpful. https://earthjustice.org/article/what-project-2025-would-do-to-the-environment-and-how-we-will-respond

Many of us have been trying to warn against Project 2025 for many months prior to the election but to no avail. Fully 150 pages of the total 900 were devoted to how to destroy the environment, but it seemed that almost no one, except those of us who have been and are environmentalists, seemed to care at all, and it seemed to be on no one's radar except for us. It will strip away our rights to clean air, clean water and a healthy planet. It will dismantle laws that protect the environment in favor of the right of polluting and extractive industries to see more profit. It will open up our protected pristine areas like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling. Wildlife habitats and wilderness areas that previously had been protected will be opened up to mining and logging, including those on our public lands. It will dismantle agencies that warn us of climate and weather dangers, such as the National Weather Service and NOAA. It will fire all the trained scientists currently working in the governmental agencies and replace them with (t)rump loyalists and operatives who have been trained for this purpose for years. And yet, little if anything has been publicized about the dangers to the environment and what little has been publicized has attracted no caring from the vast number of voters who only seemed to care about the cost of gas, or even worse, those who only cared that trump spewed the same racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, anti-Muslim, hateful words that they did.

Thank you for this level-headed piece. The histrionics of those that have resigned to the U.S. becoming a fascist theocracy forever are maddening. No regime has ever lasted forever, and it sure as hell won’t start happening now.

I’m not going to say the next several years won’t be challenging, but they haven’t even taken office, ffs. All of the analysis at this point is just noise. Trying to analyze this election like any other won’t work, because we haven’t been here before. And I genuinely believe even if Harris had won, it would have just been kicking the can down the road 4 years.

The rot that has always existed at the heart of our country has grown to a point that the stench can no longer be ignored. It’s an enormous task, but not impossible. So while I understand feeling overwhelmed in this moment, I keep reminding myself that nothing is forever. Because it isn’t, and history proves that.

Thank you very much for educating people about Project 2025 and for such clear actionable steps that everyone can be taking to stand up to it! So many emotions everyone is having about this election and this is such a great “go-to” for “what are we going to do about it!” Really appreciate you!

Excellent reportage!

I respect you for continuing the good fight, but I highly doubt we will ever have another real election. They control all the branches of government with a power that was just handed them, not a coup, so the military will fall in line. The police love them, they can and will do whatever they want.

We could come out overwhelmingly in 2026 and it won’t matter. President Biden was the last American president. This is the fascist American theocracy now.

This is my fear too, Ian. I hope we’re both wrong.

Do you know if there is a collective or group gathering to help everybody working to counter P25?

You are the best. I’m saving this to share with people who don’t know about project 2025. My family and I are planning to move out of the U.S. with family in Mexico so this will be a perfect reference to give them as a talking point for why we are choosing to leave.
