I have some questions on which I seek opinions from any Americans who wish to reply.

1. Some say (perhaps wrongly) that much of what President Trump is implementing is in line with Project 2025. If true, that means the Dem leadership had adequate time to prepare a counter to these initiatives. It's been over 3 months since Trump was elected. Where are the plans/strategies (if any) of the Dems to counter Project 2025 in the Political Battlefield?

2. Which part of the messaging by Dem Leaders so far is actually addressed at how the Average American will be impacted by Trump initiatives? e.g. (to me) it looks quite likely that Trump and his cronies in Congress are about to give a huge tax break for the Billionaire Class.
*** Worth mentioning that a similar Tax Break from the first Trump term created a huge hole in the Federal budget.
Where are the Dems with their counter narrative to demonstrate to Voters that any proposed Tax break will largely go (say 95%) into the pockets of the Billionaire class?

3. Who are the Leaders of the Dem Party right now? If the people you identify are really your leaders, what have they done to curb the excesses of the DOGE initiative? There most certainly will be some/many but your party seems to be more concerned with portraying Elon as a jerk rather than substantive discussion of any excesses.

The narrative I am seeing in the media is "Musk is stealing your Social Security Numbers" and "your privacy is being attacked". Nothing about how the Billionaires are still winning thanks to Trump's actions...




Addendum: (Quote) I think the best strategy for an activist community is to specifically diagnose the corruption or harm they wish to address, then deconstruct (as simplistically as you can) specific ways to address those things. It sounds basic, but the inability to articulate goals quickly and simply is the death of many well-intended movements. Also, and this speaks again to fighting within movements, don’t negotiate against yourselves. They are counting on it (End quote)
