I am the child of an american expat, born and raised in germany. I rarely have contact with the rest of the big family in the US, most of which are in the midwest and have always voted republican.

This year, I was able to convince my father to vote at all, which he never did before. He's voting democratic. Tomorrow, I want to call the family over there and explain that I am actually worried about their wellbeing and that they really should not vote for them.

I am not 100% up to date with everything the republicans want to do, but I read the Project 2025 summary on wikipedia and the Trump is everywhere.

There's a general direction things would go, like tax cuts for the rich, more rights for companies, less welfare programs, what feels like death penalty for pornography, existing as a non-cis person being pornography, and all the works.

But what are the actual changes that would occur? How much would medicaid be affected, which welfare programs are about to be gutted? What did the republicans specifically do in the past to hamper any efforts for actually wellbeing? I want to be able to prove things and not just throw opinions and hearsay at them.

It's hard to find this stuff, summarized, on the internet, because a lot of it either doesn't see it as bad as it is, or is pro republican actually. My people live in Farmville, Midwest-Examplestate basically, some with hip replacements, some cousins have lots of kids that need proper education, one cousin is homosexual, grandma is a pensioner barely scraping by. All of that will likely get worse. But how much??

Which republican promises will affect a large portion of lower income americans the worst?
