I didn't care about a progressive project 2025. I want guardrails that neuter project 2025 from being an effective project 2029.
Voters have very short memories and Cheeto Mussolini losing doesn't mean that this repugnant bullshit won't be enacted in the future.
We need federal court reform.
Protections for non appointed federal employees.
Protections for women's health.
Protections for voting rights.
Protections for religions (of and from).
And probably dozens of other things to make sure project 2025 doesn't become project 2029.
We cannot wait for the religious right to act before we respond. We have to respond now. They have shown us their hand and they think we are too weak to stop them. It is time we relegate their views and ideals to the trash heap in which they belong.
Could we also do something about not allowing propaganda to be called "news"? I realize that's dicey with the 1st amendment, but we've got some smart people that should be able to figure something out.
It used to be a thing but it only applied to over the air broadcasters. This would actually still be a good thing as most local stations would fall under this and many people trust their local more than cable news. It would hinder things like this
As much as it gets under my skin that people would rot their life away watching propaganda, at the end of the day it's their choice. Don't take peoples freedoms to consume content
I didn't say take it away. Maybe just make it Fox "News" in quotes
