I applaud you for the hard work you put into formulating a strategy. I feel comfortable saying that the Biden campaign will ignore every aspect.

Biden wants to run on his record, with the sole exception of reproductive freedom (though he can't even bring himself to use the word "abortion").

The majority of people will go to the polls never hearing about Project 2025 or even understanding what a dictatorship entails.

Those who do understand the dangers are convinced that they'll be the exceptions. They envision "Hungary light" vs "extortionists, vindictive Putin". Wait until Trump starts demanding a cut of SpaceX in return for a share of the profits. Ditto for Apple, Google, and his new enemy "Meta". Wait until he yanks broadcasting licenses and demands the firing of reporters who aren't sufficiently "loyal". Wait until the market slides as consumers severely curtail spending.

Better still, wait until the Trump dictatorship figures out that there's a reason why dictatorships don't allow their "subjects" to own weapons. Just how sacred will the 2nd Amendment be then?

Both sides are in denial about the fate that lies ahead.

That's what I'm afraid of. Where's my direct line to the DNC?

If historians, authoritarian scholars, anti-Trump GOP politicos, activists, etc haven't moved the needle, it's difficult to feel optimism.

You might try Simon Rosenberg who seems to be one of the few with entree into Biden's tight inner circle.

I've been trying to inform people about the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025 and amazed at how many people I thought were well informed have never heard of this. Thank you for this post and I have shared. I agree also with your stance on the Democratic party and their need to promote a platform that Americans hear!! 71 here, an atheist who has studied the Dharma for years, and I can't express to those who are not white Christian nationalists men, what Project 2025 means for them. If it makes me feel like I have a target on my back, why should it not make others who do not fit their "agenda" feel threatened?? It should!!

I totally agree with you. I am almost an almost 69 year old, white, non-Christian woman who is not afraid to speak her mind. I have a legitimate fear of being on “the list” of unnecessary people viewed by the trump (I refuse to capitalize his name. I vomit every time I hear it) dictatorship. I also fear for my grandchildren who would grow up in a world of fear and anxiety. Another trump presidency would be the end of the world as we know it. We MUST educate potential voters to open their eyes and ears and prevent this from happening. Just as trump has his court of jesters surrounding him on board the boat of demise, people have to realize that we too can surround Biden with folks that have the objectives of guaranteeing our freedoms, and essentially, our right to life.

Unfortunately, the Democratic Party leadership will never do this; because they value their direct control over any change above change itself.

They have done too much sabotage upon the progressive elements within their party for me to believe that their party is any fit home for progress at all.
