Earlier today, Donald Trump announced fellow anti-freedom crusader, Ohio Senator J.D. Vance, as his vice-presidential running mate. Vance on the ticket is the exact vitriol and political force Trump needs to execute his far-right, Christian Fundamentalist agenda outlined in Project 2025.
Here is some wild sh*t we already know about authoritarian Vance (and to nobody’s surprise, they’re all key highlights of Project 2025):
- Extreme Views on Abortion and LGBTQ+ Rights: Vance has consistently opposed abortion access, supporting restrictive measures like Texas’s S.B. 8 and opposing a constitutional amendment in Ohio that guarantees reproductive rights. He also opposes LGBTQ+ rights, including same-sex marriage recognition.
- Naked Authoritarian Politics: Vance advocates for drastic changes to government operations, including firing mid-level bureaucrats and replacing them with loyalists. Simply put, he’s anti-democracy and unafraid to own it.
- Anti-Women: Vance has criticized no-fault divorce laws, arguing that they make it too easy for people to leave marriages. This stance will trap women in abusive relationships, making it harder for them to escape domestic violence and protect their safety.
Despite Trump claiming to be unfamiliar with Project 2025, a Trump-Vance GOP certainly aligns with the plan, and threatens to reshape the federal government and undermine our freedoms and democracy.
They will change America as we know it.
