If you’re having trouble facing the prospect of making your way through #Project2025,
the 900-page blueprint for a second Trump administration drawn up by the conservative #Heritage #Foundation,
a loose-knit consortium of cartoonists has made it a bit easier.

Last week some of the top creators in the comics industry launched "Stop Project 2025",
a free website featuring “highlights” from the plan in comics form.

The effort reflects the concerns that many in the comics community are feeling about the impact of a potential second Trump term
on issues affecting the lives of ordinary Americans.

Stop Project 2025 provides information about the document,
its connections to many once-and-future members of a Trump administration,
and its implications across a range of policies including education,
climate, reproductive freedom, immigration, government administration and more.

“A lot of us were thinking about ways to make a difference,” said comics editor Scott #Dunbier (Act 4 Publishing, IDW).
Dunbier had previously worked with creators on a book to raise funds for Ukraine and saw the potential of comics to shed light on what he called a “heinous document.”

He connected with artist Steve #Lieber over Facebook, and eventually a collective of about 50 people began pitching in scripts, art, production and editorial services.

The list of contributors credited on the site includes best-selling and award-winning creators such as Andrew #Aydin (March),
Denys #Cowan (Milestone comics),
Matt #Fraction (Sex Criminals),
Lilah #Sturges (Lumberjanes, Fables)
and many others, including some who did not want to be listed

#Jonathan #Cowan is a co-founder of
Lead...or Leave,
Third Way organization,
and now active advisor for the new The Can Kicks Back campaign.

Both Lead...or Leave and Third Way have lost momentum but had tried to gather youth support for anti-social security and medicare policies.

In reality, these organizations used a loose and misleading definition of "membership" to appear to have a much larger, and younger following than they did.

The Can Kicks Back is now working to gather and represent youth to fight the deficit and has been connected to the Fix the Debt campaign

Today the greatest fault line in American politics is not race, gender or geography
— it is educational attainment.

In 1960, John F. Kennedy won 52 percent of voters with only high-school diplomas, but lost college-educated voters with only 39 percent.

By the time Joe Biden ran for president 60 years later, that trend had reversed:

Biden won 56 percent of voters with college degrees, and lost voters with only high-school educations with just 41 percent.

“There’s a point at which that inversion becomes so great that Democrats can no longer win national majorities,” says #Jonathan #Cowan, the president of Third Way, a center-left policy institute.

(In 2020, Americans without college degrees made up three out of five voters.)

“So that means that Democrats as a whole need to be constantly on the lookout for people who can break the faculty-lounge stranglehold.”
