Project 2025’s 180-Day Playbook is a remarkably detailed guide to turning the United States into a fascist’s paradise.

    If any state decides to do this, then it deserves to suffer a brain drain of LBGTQ people and allies who will gladly take their immeasurable skills and talents elsewhere. In short, doing something like this is a good way to ensure the death of one’s state.

    However, the “I am moving to another state” or whatever tactic is shortsighted, and not everyone can afford it. The better tactic is to organize political action, protest and VOTE Democrat. The only political party in any meaningful position to favor LGBT+ rights is the Democrats.

      Moving to another state is more than just affordability anyway. People shouldn’t have to give up their homes and everything they’ve known. So many states with far right legislatures have a gerrymandered to hell population that’s 45% very liberal. Half of the population is just being completely disregarded and considered subhuman.

        I’m in a red state; so far my healthcare has been denied and the new censorship laws targeting education are making me realize I need to flee if at all possible. It will take a lot of time, money, and effort to move, but the writing is on the wall.

        And the last thing we should do is bunch ourselves up in one spot, or even in one State. That’s just doing their work for them. all they’d have to do if we moved to one State or one general area is to build walls around it. They’d follow Israel’s example and keep us all in one spot, genociding us through attrition. Cut us off from food and utilities, blockade our ports so supplies from other countries can’t get in, cut us off from communications so we can’t tell nobody what’s going on, and watch from the top of their walls as we die.

      Yeah but why do WE always have to move far away. Expensive, tons of bother , and news flash, we’re not all super geniuses, some of us are just fry cooks. Queer janitors deserve freedom from the shitstains of humanity too

        I ran away and was better for it. I’d have self deleted if I had to remain in the shitstain place I was born in. You have to do what you have to do and usually that means finding a safe place far away from angry people.

          I’m really, really glad you ran away & survived to tell the tale. On your worst days, you remember that you took care of yourself like that, yeah?💪✌️🫶

      That’s their plan. They want to cement minority rule by consolidating Democrats into fewer states so they will always win the electoral college. Only having hateful idiots in their state is a pro for them, not a con. It gives them more power.

          If you can hack it. My wife is trans and we live in a swing state, the stress of the ruling class playing with her human rights for points is real
