The best thing Project 2025 did was write down all the horrible plans they had so that people could react to it instead of dismissing opponents pointing out what the conservative talking points would actually mean in practice.
They wrote down that they were leopards who planned to eat faces!
They also gave it a catchy, vague name that people can associate anything they want with, but short enough to remember easily. No "PATRIOT Act" here. The only way they could have made it an easier target would be to call it "The Document of Sinister Evil".
It also covers so much evil. Banning abortions, banning porn, ending the ACA, ending school funding, ending Trans rights, cutting medicare and social security, on and on and on.
Even if you agree with some of the evil, it has so much that youre going to find something that you don't like in it.
It's an easy thing to get consensus across the political sphere because there is so much hate in it.
"The Gilead and The Obesity"
Also give it a simple name and thing to focus on. Which is much much easier to describe to masses of people, and to rally around.
Lol I thought you wrote eat feces for a sec.
Yeah I agree with you though. They got bold. They probably will keep their evil plans more under wraps in the future, unless trump wins.
