    So you do know what Project 2025 consists of and were simply playing the rube to make a point?

      No I have no idea what it is. Heard it for a year. Never once have I seen what it is.

      So yeah, maybe I should “Google it, dummy” but if that’s your go-to response, how do you expect to win anyone over? You can’t keep pretending people are gonna go off and do homework just because you think they should. That’s not how people work.

      The right spells their stuff out. They’ve got videos, memes, rants, full-on content farms breaking down every issue from a hundred angles. It’s everywhere. You don’t have to go looking for it. You just absorb it.

      Meanwhile, the left’s take is always like, “Google it dummy” or “It’s not my job to educate you.” Cool. But then don’t act surprised when nobody knows what the hell you’re talking about. The messaging never lands. It never sticks. And when people say that, they get told they’re lazy or willfully ignorant. And they are. And nothing is changing that. But you still need to get a message across. And one party does it. So it isn’t an impossible task.

      Everything we know about communication says the right’s approach works. People respond to repetition, clarity, and simplicity. The left refuses to do that, almost like they think it’s beneath them and then wonders why they keep losing the narrative.

      You’re not gonna win hearts and minds by expecting everyone else to meet you at the finish line.
