Reminder from Hungary: Go and vote for Biden or whoever the democrats will replace him with. Fidesz'es overreach is too big, they destroy everything they don't like, and nowadays more and more people that were originally scared by the mass shootings and the ease of availability of guns would like us to have that same kind of access. Our only hope is either somehow the biggest allies of Fidesz disappear in one way or another (death, etc.), or the Ukrainians would really sell those weapons on the black market to us the Hungarian citizens.

I remember many art and similar projects die, because Fidesz defunded the art, then their cronies took over everything and only let artists that pushed blatant pro-Fidesz propaganda.

A kind reminder from Germany: If anyone tells that they "didn't know what they were getting into" and that "it didn't seem as bad, they cant really mean it" and "time in power will pacify them and they won't push through with their claims" - we already had this story and these excuses. I hope that we all can prevent the fascists from getting into power. I really don't want stuff I've read in history books to repeat in my lifetime. The more people know about P2025, the better - but to be honest I fear that most will just ignore it and go on with their day.

It’s already being dismissed as a hoax. The articles about “gay furry activists” leaking the info have allowed people on the right to claim it’s just nonsense, and Trump would never do such things to them.

Hopefully it doesn't involve swallowing bleach

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

No, it's much MUCH worse

People don't think it's possible to do all of this. After reading the entire thing, it's 100% possible, but I don't think people are seeing this as the end of democracy in the U.S.

Women, minorities, public education, the environment, work reform, social services and even protesting are straight up done. Sounds extreme, but I'm not seeing how you vote yourself out of this after firing everyone and replacing them with people only loyal to the president.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Even if they only succeed in doing a fraction of it, that's still really fucking bad.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Oh yeah it is. You can't really vote yourself out of some of that stuff.

I explained it to someone as eating a shard of glass. Even if you have to eat a tiny bit of it, you ate glass and your life is worse.

Turns out the Heritage Foundation and their allies being so blatant with their garbage political policy MIGHT be bad for winning elections

Make sure that you tell anyone who is searching the document for topics they care about to use alt-right, MAGA, and dog whistle terms for the topic. The people who wrote it didn't always use normal words to hide what they are actually talking about.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

I'll second the other one asking and go further and say we need a pretty good, to the point write up of these dog whistles. Anyone that is vaguely "on the fence" will need to see it direct for themselves and I think most of us are ill-equipped to walk the language back to plainly stating it for what it is.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 6 months ago

Can you give an example? I haven't read the actual docs themselves, but I've heard enough.

Thanks gay furry hackers
