  • Don't call it ultra conservative, call it for what it is, the playbook of Fascism.
  • @ziziroberts8041
    I'll be voting for people who understand that the United States is a Secular Constitutional Republic. Project 2024 is VOTE BLUE.
  • @susans8765
    The heritage foundation MUST be dismantled NOW!😡😡
  • I keep saying that Reagan was the cause and Trump was and still is the effect. We as Americans never believed the billionaire rich would get this much control. This is why no one in the world can be asleep at the wheels of governing.
  • @gothic_ace2037
    i think the feds need to investigate every name in that book

    I am 73 and for 22+ years have been taking Methotrexate , which is designed to help cancer patients, but helps my crippling rheumatoid arthritis. Luckily, I live in California, because SCOTUS in its arrogant, indifference, has decided this medication should be banned because of the side-effect of possible abortion.

    PROJECT 2025 is not just weird it's freaking terrifying. Take back our Country. VOTE HARRIS 🗽
  • @oldmatttv
    I'll be honest, the fact that people barely reacted to them starting to ban books and moderate history education and such, and that all started long time ago, already showed how detached the society is from the political process. And how easily history is forgotten.

    Werido don is not fit to be anywhere near the Whitehouse
  • @user-il7fy4ok9k
    Not just that he wants to be a dictator. So we will live under his rules only.
  • @GoliathGrowler
    It's important that we keep the dangers of Project 2025 fresh in our minds come Election Day. Too bad even now we still have horrible people who are either too delusional to grasp the dangers of autocracy or are shameless enough to admit they think fascism is okay.
  • @georgepaton6729
    You need to mention how many times it says on day one and Trump’s name in the 923 pages
  • @lynpugs
    When trump says no one will wver vote again he means it. WAKE UP AMERICA!
  • @jlf2221
    Thank you so much for bringing this dangerous plan out into the open for USA citizens to understand and act to prevent!
  • @balestra-fe5qc
    I remember going on marches against Reagan... He was truly awful.
