Billboards will go up in seven swing states as campaign seeks to publicize manifesto and tie it to ex-president

Democrats will put up billboards in swing states that show Donald Trump and tie him to Project 2025, a conservative manifesto that could become reality if he wins in November.

The Democratic National Committee’s paid media campaign escalates liberal efforts to publicize Project 2025 and tie it to the former president after he sought to distance himself from the plan. The blueprint for a second Trump administration is led by the rightwing thinktank the Heritage Foundation and counts support from more than 100 other conservative groups.

According to a plan first shared with the Guardian, 36 billboards in both English and Spanish will go up in nine cities in seven battleground states: Detroit, Lansing, Grand Rapids, Philadelphia, Green Bay, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Raleigh and Charlotte. They show Trump’s face alongside language such as “Trump’s plan to be a dictator on day 1: Project 2025. Google it” and say that the project “guts checks and balances, seeks revenge and bans abortion nationwide”.

    The GOP/FSB troll farms and bots on reddit are trying to downplay this so hard it’s ridiculous, especially when Trump has been shown on camera specifically acknowledging and praising Project 2025 multiple times in a room full of witnesses.

      They’re here too. I’ve run into a few brand new accounts that are only commenting on posts like this. Like, accounts that are less than a day old trolling on every political post you can find.

      But did you know Biden is almost 4% older than Trump?

      The TikTok comments too on anything Biden posts are literally all the same thing so definitely a bot farm at work
