Thank you for this valuable information ! Im sending it to all my LGBTQ community of friends and straight allies . At this point we ALL need to fight like hell and mobilize the vote to make sure Trump gets no where near the white house ever again! The supreme court is hell bent on getting him there so they can help him move swiftly on enacting project 2025. I came out in 1978 and have marched year after year for our basic human rights . I will continue to fight especially during this crucial election year. At the same Im making plans to move abroad for I refuse to live in a country where Im taxed and considered a second class citizen. I simply refuse to live the final chapters in my life under such oppression. Im remaining optimistic here in July that this country will not elect Trump a convicted felon, adulterer and rapist....oh I forgot a pathological liar and narcassisst !
The US has a lot of leverage over other nations through trade, NATO, and foreign aid. Whatever the US policies become, they domino throughout the world. That's why the world became more like the US since the 50's. The funding and disinformation spread on conservative networks are the two key drivers. They'll pick apart something with a small bit of truth and then exaggerate it or lie about it. They'll cite a bad surgery or reaction to medicine and then craft abusive narratives and find remote exceptions that can be told as truthful stories. Instead of making medicine better, they'll seek to ban it and prosecute doctors.
Way to go... spreading FAKE NEWS! Trump has stated PROJECT 2025 is NOT his!
For people to be treated less then human under a religious cult , is absolutely disgusting.
Thanks for making this breakdown.
Thank you for doing this!
This has been a really good discussion given that there are still far too few people who are aware of Project 2025, even though it's been out for many months now. I've been trying to raise awareness of it within my circles for many months now. But I do want to point out thst y'all have completely forgotten about the existence of an entire generation of people who have been fighting for LGBTQ+ rights for decades and continue to do so - those of us who grew up watching the AIDS crisis unfold and who helped lead the fight for marriage equality, and for local human rights ordinances in Florida, and for greater trans inclusion in our state - Gen X. We've been in this fight for decades, and we're tired, but we're still here and still fighting. The past several years have been devastating, watching civil rights that I've spent 30 years working towards being rolled back at warp speed. We actually have fewer rights now than we had when I was in high school in Florida in the early 1990s. And so I'm motivated to fight even harder to stop Project 2025, which we can already see being enacted in places like Florida and with the recent overturning of the Chevron deference by the right-wing Supreme Court right alongside the other generations represented in this discussion. I found it interesting that the historical part of this discussion left out some important - very important - historical events, particularly ones that took place in Florida. In the late 1950s and early 60s, following on the heels of McCarthyism, we had the John's Committee in the Florida legislature, which targeted many minority groups, but especially the LGBTQ+ community, particularly in our schools and universities, very much like what we're seeing right now in Florida. Then of course in the late seventies we had Anita Bryant fighting back against the Miami-Dade human rights ordinance, which of course then led to a nationwide campaign against LGBTQ+ rights, not unlike groups like Moms for Liberty and people like Chaya Raichik. But Project 2025 feels so much worse because of how comprehensive the plan is and how much they have set the stage for it over the past few decades, particularly with the stacking of the courts with far-right judges. Because we're already seeing the effects of it before it has reached anywhere near its full potential. And it absolutely terrifies me. As a queer person, as a trans person, as an AFAB person, as someone who is facing housing insecurity right alongside the Millennials and Gen Z discussed in this video, and who is still struggling to repay student loan debt, and who cares deeply about the LGBTQ+ community whose rights I've been fighting for for 30 years, I am very afraid right now, which is exactly why I keep fighting, no matter how hopeless it seems, and boy does it ever feel hopeless right now! But Gen Xers like me are fighting in the trenches right alongside the other generations represented here. And we're too broke to move elsewhere, so we stand up and continue to fight for as long as we can.
This is great! Thank you! We have to get the word out to protect our precious community of LGBTQ brothers and sisters. ❤️
This is a roundtable for safe schools yet there are no 17 or 18 year olds participating in this particular video roundtable. How do we get the message to them? How do we let them know that their families and future are on the line?
