Project 2029
The Democrats’ flawed approach to the midterms and to 2028
May 28, 2026
This post will explore Project 2029, the Democrats’ approach to this year’s midterms and to the 2028 presidential election. It’s clear that the US left has learned absolutely nothing from the 2024 presidential election.
But first …
It has been reported that violent crime is up in rural Canada, with an emphasis on the fact that “[t]here is an upward trend in the number of murders committed by women with the rate of homicides committed by women in rural areas increasing 68 per cent.” However, Statistics Canada (a federal agency) collects and reports on data related to “gender,” not to “sex,” so one has to wonder whether the people committing all these additional murders are actually women.
A Belgian court has ruled that saying “factually correct” things can constitute “hate speech” if the words “incite hatred.” This particular case has nothing to do with gender, but it’s pertinent. The criminal defendant was convicted of a crime for saying true things about migration. Whatever one thinks about migration, this is chilling.
The judge said:
Even if all of the statements made by Van Langenhove are based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. Van Langenhove is not charged with spreading false information. He is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the Anti-Racism Law.
What if, instead, someone is charged with a hate crime for saying the words “men are male.” What if said person is convicted and the judge says:
Even if the statement “men are male” is based on scientific evidence and statistics, it makes no difference to the criminal intent. [Whomever] is not charged with spreading false information. [He/she] is charged with presenting facts in a way that incites hatred against persons on the grounds of one or more of the protected criteria in the [law that protects “gender identity”].
I’m not too worried about this happening in the US because our 1st Amendment protects us from this ridiculousness, but it should concern all of us anyway.
This is essentially what Bev Jackson, a co-founder of the group LGB Alliance, is communicating when she explains one of the reasons why everyone ought to care about this topic:
Those who say the sex and gender debate is about “a tiny minority” are looking through the wrong end of the telescope.
It’s about a concerted attempt by activists, backed by governments, institutions, and NGOs, to deny that humans - like all other mammals - are either male or female. It’s about an attack on reality.
If you can get someone to believe a man can be a woman, you can get them to believe anything.
If people are threatened. fired, taken to court and convicted for pointing out that a man is a man, or that it is impossible to change sex, freedom of speech is lost and you are living under a tyrannical dystopia.
It’s not about “a tiny minority.”
It’s about all of us.
Anyone who thought the Democrats may have learned anything from the November 2024 presidential election about the consequences of their full-throated embrace of all things “trans” (including, reluctantly, me) is wrong.
The idea of Project 2029 has been around for a while, but if I understand an article from yesterday in The Bulwark, it has just now been produced in full.
It is the brainchild of Andrei Cherny, the co-founder of Democracy: A Journal of Ideas, and Chad Maisel, of the Biden Domestic Policy Council. It’s meant to guide Democrats running for Congress this year, and also heading into the 2028 presidential election. Nothing has changed since the Democrats lost the 2024 presidential election (in part because of the now-infamous “they/them” ads).
