And yet almost all of them (I'm being generous here) will still obediently vote R in the election. Gotta support the team!

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The GOP Governor of Ohio wrote a NY Times op-ed essay on how nice Springfield is and how the Haitians there are all fine people. He went on to say that he's voting for Trump.
DeWine is the epitome of the person who doesn’t agree with fascism but would rather support it than anyone an inch to his left
when their political affiliation becomes their identity and they got that identity because their parents were republican and their parents parents were republican. there're already too far gone and have zero critical thinking skills.
and the remaining 2/3 of the electorate is unsure about depriving millions of americans of basic welfare, equality and security, but it's probably fine
Given the stark polling, I'd imagine most of the unsure people likely just haven't heard of Project 2025 / don't know what's in it
it's such a weird thing to be on top of foreign politics when people who are the most concerned with the outcome of that vote are oblivious to what's at stake
I felt the same way watching AfD win seats in Germany's election.
yeah it's awful. In a good French fashion, I went out on the street to demonstrate against this disgusting party. More and more it feels like that voting alone won't be enough to safeguard democracy...
For anyone who has a bit of time, I highly encourage volunteering for the campaign. Many of the methods of volunteering are about educating voters
Find opportunities to volunteer for dems around you
EDIT: looks like you might not be in the US, but still recommend volunteering for progressive parties around you if you can
yeah i'm in europe but it's a great recommendation, thank you for providing resources!
According to the new poll, less than a quarter of those surveyed—23 percent—had never heard of it or were unsure of how they felt. Polling released in July by progressive firm Navigator Research showed that more than half of Americans reported being familiar with Project 2025—double the amount who reported familiarity with it just a month earlier.
You guys... we live in a post-reading society /hj
The new poll does not distinguish between unsure of how one feels and never heard of project 2025. (I did dig into the poll document itself too)
The poll looking at number familiar with project 2025 was months ago from a different poll
Apologies, I meant to reply to @morgunkorn@discuss.tchncs.de. Regardless of the unsure/unfamiliar, you have 77% who are sure of how they feel, far from 1/3. Of those, 23/77=30% hate it and 7/77%=9% like it.
The poll looking at number familiar with project 2025 was months ago from a different poll
Could the percentage of familiar people have decreased?
Note that a good chunk of the poll, people selected neutral which may very well still be a "I don't know much about this". Familiar can also mean "I have heard the name before"
Damn... I didn't really expect that
Like how bad is this, that even the GOP's own constituents don't support what they are pushing?
This is like ACA repeal. They didn't learn from their own mistakes... how do these folks even stay in power???
