the party of "small government," once again, wants the government to police everything you do with your own junk

I like the "book 5 | pdf: 37" part it makes it look like you're quoting the Bible.

Watching Republicans ban 4chan would be funny.

Anti gun

2A is the second amendment.

Thanks, had no idea

Don't forget that Republicans consider pretty much anything featuring gays as sexual and pornographic.

To everyone interested: Mullvad and IVPN accept XMR as payments and do not store logs.

Don't you worry, these laws won't apply to them.

If you are an American and care about privacy:

  • Write your representatives. Your message can be as simple as "I care about privacy". It's important they know you are watching their votes.
  • Participate in elections, particularly downballot elections. Congressional makeup at the federal and state level matters a lot more for these kinds of things than who is president. Many recent laws like "right to repair" etc have happened at the state level since you can bypass federal congressional gridlock.
  • Participate in primaries. Most Americans do not vote, most voters do not vote in primaries. If you don't like having to choose "the lesser of two evils", primaries give you much much more choice to express your preferences. As a primary voter, you have an outsized influence on the electoral system and can help determine the options other people get to choose from.
  • Donate to PACs and non-profits working to protect your right to privacy. The EFF is an awesome non-profit. One benefit of donating to PACs is that they keep an eye on races across the country and help find and fund candidates who will advanced privacy legislation.
  • "Vote with your dollar" when you buy things. In many cases, your purchasing power outweighs the political power of your vote.

Like the US will shut down a multi billion industry.

No, like Prohibition, everyone will keep some around, and the laws will only be enforced against non-whites, non-Christians and uppity women. Oh and gays are right out.

Project 2025 is 100% political and partisan. Due to that, there are false claims being made about Project 2025.

I condem the organization but not all statements are true due to it's entirely political nature.

Wdym they literally have a massive PDF hosted on their website that you can download and read.

Politicos hate when you read their own words back to them
