next time some biggot wants to say trump 2020 i will sMASH this into their forehead because it needs to be said and it needs to be heard

A lot of people are genuinely terrified about what will happen if Donald Trump wins reelection and it's really weird how some of y'all are acting like everyone begging you to vote for Biden is some privileged, rich, out of touch, neo-liberal when a lot of them are just vulnerable people who don't want to like...die in a brutal civil war or watch all their remaining rights get stripped away by an increasingly authoritarian Republican Party.

I do not know how to express to you how much worse it can get.

I don't like to talk politics on here but this is VERY important.

As much as I disagree with many decisions made by the current administration, we all have to acknowledge the positive changes and policies put into place in the past few years. You can look at this post right here for a list of beneficial things the Biden administration has done (with sources). I won't deny that there are still problems, and it really is a situation of choosing the lesser of two evils, but I have enough common sense to know the alternative is so SO much worse.

For those unaware, Project 2025 seeks to dismantle and destroy much of what makes America the country it is, as well as making it MUCH more difficult to live freely and safely.

A few highlights of "Project 2025" from Wikipedia:

Downsizing the EPA and abolishing NOAA, reversing progress made towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preventing climate change

Repealing the Inflation Reduction Act

Making the transition to renewable energy more difficult, expanding the use and production of fossil fuels, and removing limitations set upon the oil industry

Tax cuts for companies and the rich (who saw this coming?)

Tax cuts which would increase the national deficit by $4 trillion by 2028 (source)

Making it harder to increase taxes for corporations

Stricter requirements for those who rely on food stamps

Eliminating free school meals and the Head Start program

Granting more power for the president to oversee and directly control the DOJ, the FBI, the FCC, the FTC, and many others

Prioritizing the production of nuclear weapons, possibly starting another nuclear arms race

Prohibiting Medicare from negotiating drug prices and cutting funding to Medicare as a whole

Denying gender-affirming care to transgender people

Ending same-sex marriage

Higher fees for asylum seekers, purely for monetary gain

Plans to "begin the largest domestic deportation operation in American history"

Removing protections against racial discrimination

Basically making it impossible to have an abortion

Defunding Planned Parenthood

Cutting funding for public transit

Curtailing the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law of 2021

No matter what, we all have to do our part to prevent this outcome from happening.

Please spread the word, and for people like me who don't like to get involved in politics: show them this post. Vote if you are able and tell your friends and family to do so as well, not just in the presidential elections.

I know who I'm voting for.

I'm seeing a lot of the same arguments and thoughts about this election as we had in 2016. I don't want to see that repeated. Neither do you. So we have to come together and vote in record numbers. We defeated MAGA once. We have to do it again.
