some actually practical pieces of information that hopefully may quell some worries about Trump's second term:
This article explains the impracticality and illegality of Project 2025, and why most of it is very likely to be legally struck down.
This article explains how, even with a narrow Republican majority in the House, Trump will only be able to pass very bland partisan laws or bipartisan laws.
The ACLU has already prepared a gameplan for combatting the effects of Project 2025.
The state of New York has contingency plans to fight against Project 2025.
like obviously it's still gonna be a rough 4 years, and i'm not dismissing any legitimate worries. i'm just hoping this might ease some anxieties just a little.
if anyone else has some similar pieces of practical information that can dispel some of the panic, please feel free to share them!
stay vigilant and keep fighting, but try not to despair. try to keep a calm and level head as we head into the new year.
If you haven't already, you can join the fight more directly by getting involved with your local Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) chapter.
This is a group that doesn't just defend imperfect systems from getting worse (unlike a certain party), it actually pushes for the positive change we want to see in healthcare, education, foreign policy, and so on. A member was actually elected to my state house recently, which is incredible! And it was only possible through direct canvassing and such from active members!
I'll leave you with the link and this quote:
"For me, Hope is not some sort of abstract consideration. It's sort of a prerequisite for my survival." - John Green
I feel like this group helps to give me hope, and it gives me an outlet for helping make the change I want to see.
Working towards a better future for all.
