In the upcoming 2025 election cycle, the Republican Party is poised to elect a candidate with values strikingly similar to those of Adolf Hitler. As many have been cautioning, this is a repeat of history.

Members of the LGBTQ+ community are experiencing heightened levels of anxiety and distress. They feel unsafe in their ability to express love and affection in public spaces, where they may face violence or even arrest for simply holding hands.

Furthermore, Ladies I urge you to consider this matter carefully. The Republican Party is seeking to restrict your access to birth control, contraceptives, and other forms of reproductive health care. Their proposed legislation would effectively define sex as solely for the purpose of reproduction, excluding any other forms of sexual expression.

It is my hope that others will eventually be able to comprehend the nuances of the situation and not unquestioningly follow the lead of someone with few values that align with your own. Instead, I encourage you to consider the greater good and the safety of your fellow citizens.

The Republican Party is prepared to engage in conflict, whereas we are simply seeking to live in peace and harmony.

A discrepancy exists in the perception of love between same-gender couples and heterosexual couples. While the former is considered pornographic, the latter is not.

Finally, I would like to address those who identify as Republican or Christian. If you or anyone in your family is married to another race, their marriage will become illegal in 2025 if Trump wins. This would result in a significant shift in the country's social and legal landscape, reminiscent of the 1900s.

Let us endeavor to cultivate love and understanding. For the future of humanity, we must act now to avoid self-destruction.

I am not exaggerating and I can fully understand if it may be hard to believe but it’s important to make awareness.

I would and will never vote for Trump but what you’ve said is an exaggeration in many places and Trump has not even endorsed or promoted Project 2025. He is also on record stating that he won’t sign a federal abortion ban. You can stick to things he’s actually said to point out how bad he is. You don’t have to say things like “he shares values with Hitler” to try and scare people. By that standard, every Christian shares values with Hitler.

Additionally, it would be remiss of me not to mention that Texas has recently introduced legislation concerning the trafficking of embryos.

I regret to have to inform you that the Republican Party has a strong stance against abortion. This is a deeply held belief that is not easily swayed. It is also worth noting that the issue of abortion is not solely a federal matter, as you mentioned. In fact, states have been known to discriminate against women in various ways. For instance, there have been instances where a woman has suffered a miscarriage and was not provided with healthcare until it was proven that she was not responsible for it. Another case involved a young girl who had to travel across state lines to obtain an abortion, but was subsequently arrested.

You’re not informing me of anything and none of what you just said disputes or argues against anything that I said. I am opposed to an abortion ban. I’m just pointing out that what you said is not accurate and is an exaggeration. This is meant to be a community of moderate, informed political discussion. You’re not being honest or representative about what the situation is.

I believe I have a clear understanding of the situation. Trump has stated that the ban is not federal, but that he is giving power back to the states. This could mean that in some states, abortion could be banned or heavily restricted. He has also stated that this is the Conservative Dream, and that he would like a unified Reich. I wonder how far he would go to achieve such a goal.

The Trump administration's stance on LGBTQ issues was not always clear. While they did not actively promote discrimination, they did not always demonstrate a clear commitment to equality. For instance, they were openly hostile toward the LGBTQ community and vehemently opposed the Equality Act, which would have ensured that existing civil rights protections cover sexual orientation and gender identity in the way that they already do for race, disability, veteran status, and more. Additionally, they blocked basic job protections for LGBTQ people, insisting that employers should be free to fire workers for their sexual orientation or gender identity. The Department of Health and Human Services, under the Trump administration, also removed the nondiscrimination protections for LGBTQ people that had been established under the Affordable Care Act.
