Meh.
I highly doubt this is Trump voters suddenly hearing about Project 2025 and deciding to go look it up and realizing it's bad for them.
I would wager that this is predominantly voters that didn't need the gory details of Project 2025 to be convinced to vote against Trump. But now that he's been elected 🤮, preparing for what's to come makes the gory details suddenly relevant.
This describes me to a tee. I plugged my ears on all of the campaign stuff knowing I was going to vote D regardless of what was happening on the politics side.
I work in international development and there is already enough sadness and frustration in keeping abreast of news in that sphere.
Now I can't afford to blissfully ignore all US political news so I need to do some reading to understand what's coming my way. I really hate it here.
I found 2 resources I believe I can trust. There is a snopes article that lays out the basics.
Plus a local NPR station podcast in San Francisco that goes over the whole document in 13 episodes. I'm only two episodes in so far.
I don't think I actually want to read the 900+ page document.
