    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.

    Sir, it’s Thomas Jefferson on line two - he’s asking how the whole “creating a well informed populace” thing is going. What should I tell him?

    I’m not sure why that wouldn’t be the case, seeing as project 2025 has circulated the news way before the elections day. Daily graph with barely a month shown on it isn’t going to display the interest in project 2025 overall. That bump is just people checking out which flavour of fucked up they got.
