For the demands of the strikers they could include a time period for example no funding of Republicans until 2034 as an example.

If Project 2025 becomes a reality we might start seeing headlines which say "In the United States, couples who divorce will be sent to labor camps".

This is a lie. People just spread this to trick you into not voting so the Republicans win.

According to https://library.ucsd.edu/dc/object/bb0000819h yes it's real and the year it's from is 1941 more specifically 1941-07-08. You can view what I think might be all or most of his political cartoons here: https://library.ucsd.edu/dc/collection/bb65202085

And Qanon's choice which is so weird because they claim to protect the children but it's their guy who's the one who's not protecting our children.

I researched this exact question. There is a way called deep canvasing https://www.vice.com/en/article/how-to-change-a-voters-mind-is-deep-canvassing/

It's scientifically proven. Try having a one on one conversation with someone. Listen to what they say and respond with empathy. Then gradually and calmly introduce your message that is related to what they said. For example if the person you are talking to said they are worried about grocery prices and specifically egg prices you could mention that bird flu was the root cause of the price increase and that Trump's tariffs will raise prices on groceries. Building trust helps your message get across. I've had personal conversations with Trump supporters who trust me and you'd be surprised how much success you can have.

Wikipedia explains who they are very well: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GiveSendGo

GiveSendGo is a Christian crowdfunding website.[5] GiveSendGo has attracted controversy for allowing far-right extremists to fundraise, including neo-Nazis, white supremacists and hate groups.[15]

They have also had multiple security breaches.

16 Democrats were absent. If 9 of them would have showed up both bills would have passed. Sources:

https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024491 https://clerk.house.gov/Votes/2024490

The list of Democrats who didn't vote on both of the measures is the same. Here is the list:

  • Earl Blumenauer

This has been a long standing conspiracy theory amongst right wing talk show hosts and other people. Basically the claim is that FEMA will imprison lots of people especially those with far right views using a emergency as a pretext. This conspiracy theory has been widely debunked already.

The interesting thing is now something like the conspiracy theory may happen in real life except ran by ICE instead of FEMA. I'm curious how people who previously propagated this conspiracy theory feel about Trump's plan for a mass deportation. If you know anyone who's into this conspiracy theory would you be able to ask them their thoughts on the FEMA camps and then bring up Trump's mass deportation plan. I'm curious how'd they'd react. Let's not assume because everyone is different. While trying to research this question I found one article from the right that showed deep concern about Trump's plan: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2024/nov/20/deep-state-wants-terminate-constitution/ but I can't really find much information otherwise.

This article was posted shortly before the election but everything in there is still true and seeing his appointees perhaps worse than predicted.

Sorry it's a few days late, I just saw this and thought it was really interesting.

The concerns are true but if people leave Twitter for Bluesky it's still an improvement because Elon uses the algorithm to boost far-right content and he has your data.

I feel this is really the most important answer here. We must break the false narratives that they use to hold power.
