    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.

      That’s why I googled it as a Harris voter. I’ve read the high level talking points, listened to the podcasts calling out the big bads - but it’s like 900 pages. I was hoping for a pdf that would give me some roadmap of the utter shit storm heading my way.

        Yeah my wife and I were hoping to start IVF next year and now I have to actually know the specifics of what republicans think of my wife’s bodily autonomy 🤢🤮

          First off, having been through IVF (unsuccessfully unfortunately) I wish you and your wife the best. I’ve found people who haven’t gone through it tend to minimize the process and it can feel isolating and frustrating. If you want someone to chat about it - dm me on Mastodon (@pezhore@infosec.exchange).

          Secondly, I wouldn’t look as much at the bodily autonomy but more at the “life begins at inception” / fetal personhood stuff. That’s the stuff that significantly impacts IVF and how non-viable eggs/zygotes are handled. Of course bodily autonomy is important for if the process works but complications occur after implantation.

      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.
