'The Resistance Starts Now:' U.S. rights group 'People For the American Way' announces new campaign to 'resist Project 2025'

People For the American Way today announced the launch of its new campaign, Resist Project 2025, a roadmap for immediate resistance to an incoming Trump administration and for a strong pro-democracy movement for freedom and justice. The plan calls for assembling a unique coalition of young progressive officials, faith leaders and artists to take prominent roles in resistance and reform.

Why work on resisting the popular majority in the democratic-ish country?
Should be underground railroadings women and queers out of America.
though the gop control the three branches, the election was still extremely close in fact. Also most of the win was more about rejecting biden and the cost of living increases, not necessarily support of far right beliefs (though support is still certainly growing and is significant).
But I think they are overestimating how much support they would have if they tried doing anything too extreme. Hopefully at least.
Well, as long as the public would be resistant to the expansion of the concentration camps. That should make up for the deaths.
The foundation of democracy is the constitution and universal human rights, not the election result. Even if you'd get 99% of the votes in a democracy, you must be held accountable to the law, and that is not limited to, but includes the protection of minorities.
What? If you have money most laws don't apply to you in the country already.
