United we stand, divided we fallā¦
I donāt care on which side of the political spectrum you identify. The threat to our democracy is a clear and present danger!
A š§µ Buckle up itās a long one.
This is not a fight about 2A, itās not about abortion, itās not about education, itās not about sexual orientation, itās not about taxes or immigration or about healthcare. This fight comes down to a religious minority, trying to push its narrow views upon our country.
The Heritage Foundation and its Project 2025 threatens to dismantle nearly 250 years of progress toward equality for all. And I for one am not going to stand for it.
We must unite against the GOP with Joe Biden as the nominee. He cannot be replaced on ballots without being challenged. āProtestā voting for other parties will sign the death certificate of our nation. The same thing happened in 2016.
A very brief history. Zoroastrianism was founded around 3500 years ago. āZoroastrianismā¦held that a messiah would come at some future dateā¦to redeem humanity in an event known as the Frashokereti which was the end of time and brought reunion with Ahura Mazdaā¦
These concepts would influence the later religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.ā https://www.worldhistory.org/religion/
This monotheistic view of religion has existed for less than half of recorded history and many religions still have pluralistic beliefs. #Christianity has done nothing but oppress people since its inception. And now a very narrow interpretation of it is being weaponized against us.
Itās a disease that spread throughout the world, literally killing millions of people as missionaries spread disease from one continent to another. It didnāt matter how many indigenous people died as long as they believed and converted.
Ancient rulers seized upon the opportunity to adopt the religion and thus take power and wealth* from the people. Sound familiar? Wars have been fought for control of territory around the world.
*This was the 2nd goal of missionaries.
And now a sect of ultra-conservative Christian Nationalists threatens to end our constitutional republic in favor of an authoritarian state.
Theyāre trying to divide us even further so they can win. We CANNOT let that happen. Moderate, Liberal, Progressive, Libertarian, Conservative, it doesnāt matter, we will all suffer equally if Project 2025 succeeds.
They have been chipping away at certain liberties for 8 years already. Itās clear that they only have self-serving goals to make the rich richer and to oppress citizens like in other authoritarian regimes.
It is truly terrifying to see dystopian novels coming to life before my very eyes. These conservatives fear change and clearly believe that liberalism is the root of all evil.
On the contrary, education leads to enlightenment and free thought, so āliberalā thinking is really just how they demonize those who are educated and have opposing opinions or beliefs.
One example from #Project2025 is that āconservativeā republicans have been trying to strip funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting since its inception. @NPR & @PBS are run by CPB.
Why? Because they educate people & allows them to adopt beliefs that oppose theirs. They lament that no republican president has been able to do it. They argue that most viewers are liberals & that not enough conservative programming is offered so it should be shut down. Boo hooš¢
How about that educated viewers use their common sense and reasoning to conclude that stories from 2000+ years ago are not fully relevant to modern society? š©š¼āššØš½āš
Science is not theological yet conservatives want to apply theology to everything. The world isnāt flat. Evolution & Climate change are real. Vaccines save lives. The USA was NOT founded as a Christian nation. If not for free thinkers, weād probably still be living in the Iron Age.
Most people want to be part of a group & religion is the most common way to achieve that goal. We are conditioned from birth to believe what weāre taught and not question it. This is how racism & bigotry continue to thrive along with political ideology.
Morals are morals. They arenāt inherently conservative or liberal. You are either kind to others or not; you follow the rules or donāt; you tell the truth or youāre a narcissistic pathological liar. Itās that simple. That is all thatās required to define a good person.
The notion that sexuality has anything to do with morality is utterly absurd, but this is what conservatives argue. They LIE to justify taking rights from anyone they donāt like. They fear what they donāt understand.
They oppose abortion because itās a numbers game to them. They think more babies = more followers. Well, weāre already seeing that no abortion = higher infant mortality. So that myth is busted.
Much of the Project 2025 platform directly attacks the Biden administration and seemingly relies on data that is short-sighted at best. Iām sure many of the arguments for or against the many chapter topics are false-flags to make it look balanced.
I hope someone is trying to fact-check the book, as many of the end notes are just commentary or references to current laws. Statistics are cherry picked to support their claims.
Even my 16-year-old understands the implications should departments like education and health & human services get shut down or changed from what they currently are. š³ļøāā§ļøš³ļøāš
If you made it all the way through, thanks for reading. Please share because our lives depend on it. We all need to #VoteBlue2024 to put an end to the GOP madness once and for all.
