Would an approximate/measured antithesis of Project 25 basically be the recipe for a great society? (lemmy.world)

I mean like if you translated Project 25 so the opposite or reverse of every single policy prescription it makes is compiled, could that be the playbook for a much better and equitable future society?

Sorta like a Project 21st Century™️

EDIT: I'm not necessarily saying if they say "=18% corporate taxes" == "-18%" or "+36%", I just mean they want to lower the taxes to reach that so why not consider raising it in the opposite direction so you're moving away from anti-utopia

trying to match and invalidate every poor policy is unfeasible because it's easy to come up with a terrible policy that targets vulnerable populations.

you'd forever be playing catch up.

increasing civil rights and workers rights, on the other hand, protects people fundamentally, so it doesn't matter how many unjust 2025 policies they come up with if civil rights are fundamentally protected.

laws about what women are allowed to wear, what medicine women are allowed to take, what surgeries women are allowed, If personal autonomy becomes an inviolable right, it doesn't matter how many ways conservatives try to constrain a woman's liberty.
