Billboards will go up in seven swing states as campaign seeks to publicize manifesto and tie it to ex-president
Democrats will put up billboards in swing states that show Donald Trump and tie him to Project 2025, a conservative manifesto that could become reality if he wins in November.
The Democratic National Committee’s paid media campaign escalates liberal efforts to publicize Project 2025 and tie it to the former president after he sought to distance himself from the plan. The blueprint for a second Trump administration is led by the rightwing thinktank the Heritage Foundation and counts support from more than 100 other conservative groups.
According to a plan first shared with the Guardian, 36 billboards in both English and Spanish will go up in nine cities in seven battleground states: Detroit, Lansing, Grand Rapids, Philadelphia, Green Bay, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Raleigh and Charlotte. They show Trump’s face alongside language such as “Trump’s plan to be a dictator on day 1: Project 2025. Google it” and say that the project “guts checks and balances, seeks revenge and bans abortion nationwide”.
It doesn’t matter why. And regardless, check their voting history and I can guarantee you that the vast majority are red from top to bottom.
These people are dyed-in-wool Republican conservatives, and it says a whole lot about you that you want so bad to distance yourself from them.
Sounds like you’re better than your party and the ideals they stand (and vote) for.
…my party? Are you assuming that I vote Republican? Right after calling their so-called candidates insane racists?
I think it says a lot about you that you assume that wanting to clarify that fascists aren’t real Republicans means that I’m defending the term because I am one myself.
