    Even the mainstream supposedly “liberal” media barely talked about Project 2025. If anything, they often acted like it was some kind of blue equivalent of Qanon, and anyone talking about it was just being hyperbolic and hysterical, etc.

    The Murc’s Law Media (the only “liberal” media we really have) is generally terrible at informing people of just how awful the Republicans and the conservatives really are.

    And of course the average conservative chud either didn’t know about it, or, if they were told about it, they were either in favor of whatever it had because that’s how they are, or just thought it was a “conspiracy theory”.

      Yeah and I’m not exactly sure what to do about it. Where to tell your average person where to get their information from right now. Definitely none of these mainstream corporate owned outlets. Unfortunately I really don’t know of anything too similar to suggest as a substitute often. A lot of stuff I watch the people are half my age. So even a lot of people my age wouldn’t be crazy about that in the first place. Let alone even older friends and family. There’s a few things like breaking points with Crystal ball. She’s generally decent even if her co-host is pretty trash. But outside of that it’s pretty tough. I enjoy her husband’s content as well. But yeah that’s going to be too abrasive for a lot of older people the way he talks. Which is stupid but it’s still a fact.
