The number of people who have replied to either argue or bemoan that “MAGA doesn’t care” like that’s the voting bloc we have to mobilize is going to make my brain melt out my ears like taffy on a warm summer’s day
“They want to eliminate national parks” is a very simple way to get just about anyone on the Stop Project 2025 train. Are there much more glaring and life-threatening goals of P25? Yes but even your most bigoted cousin does not want to see the parks system sold for parts.

Absolutely fucking mind boggling how the left thinks the only way towards progress (and not just politics but also social (like, say, fighting racism)) is only achieved hy appealing to monsters and getting them to come around to our side.

There are a lot of people who don’t know the correct answer to “do you want to be right or do you want to win.”

Also like, a lot of them DO care! That’s the whole point! Online chud MAGAs are pretty rare! Project 2025 is insane even to regular conservative-voting people, and plausible because of the court term.

I think you underestimate the size of the evangelical community that widely supports project 2025.

I thought Amanda was agreeing with you and the thing we all agree on is that voluntarily casting our opposition as an insurmountable monolith of awful is self-defeating.

I thought we also care about factual accuracy.

Even Evangelical support has limits. That's a big part of why Roy Moore lost. (Whether they hit that point *before* a guy gets banned from the mall for creeping on underage girls is... less certain.)

We…do? I’m confused about what’s happening right now. I agree with all the skeets I read and was bringing in an observation on the malleability of the MAGA wall that I now realize may be misplaced in this specific conversation.

Yeah. I mean SOMEBODY has to change their vote, or be persuaded to vote
