BSides Denver

I am not willing to let Project 2025 or its supporters attempt to destroy my country. For those who feel I am stoking FUD, I invite you to read Project 2025 and compare it to Mein Kampf and then tell me I'm stoking FUD.

But my problem is I don't know what I can do.
o) What (peaceful) avenues are available to me to help those that Project 2025 is coming after or the lives it will destroy?
o) How do I support places and people like Ukraine that the US will now abandon? How do I blunt the fact that the US will become closer to authoritarian regimes and move away from democratic regimes?
o) Is there a way to ensure there is a planet for my children after environmental guardrails are dismantled?
o) Can I prevent books from being banned and a free press from being dismantled?

Out of my many decades of life, today is the saddest one. America voted to throw away our democracy, equality, and justice and elected a fascist who will work to make us an authoritarian state. I'm so disappointed in the US, I'm not sure how to react.

You know what puzzles me about this election? That some people think it's about issues, the economy, wars, prices, etc...

In reality, it's if you want an authoritarian neo-nazi, who will use his power to punish his enemies, strip the rights of people of color, women, non-rich people, and gut our democracy so it looks like a dictatorship.

But you go ahead and tell me it's about the issues, and watch as he ignores the issues and does whatever he and his cronies bloody well want.

And we'll get to spend the next decade or so in the US version of Russia.

Feel free to try and prove me wrong, and I'll happily show you his words and actions.

Don't forget @bsidesdenver is coming up on Sep 8. The agenda is posted https://www.bsidesden.org/2023-agenda
