Lopez has backed banning abortion with no exceptions and falsely claimed that climate change isn’t caused by human activity. His conservative beliefs should be no surprise, given the strength of the Republican Party in the 4th district.
Buck was similarly in favor of exerting control over other people’s bodies. He was staunchly anti-abortion and did not believe in exceptions for rape or incest. What’s more, in 2005, when he was still a district attorney, Buck refused to prosecute an alleged rape case. The alleged victim released a recording of an interview she had with Buck, during which he appeared to blame her for the assault.
But a key difference between the two men is that Lopez has said that Donald Trump won the 2020 election, which is not true. Buck, on the other hand, has repeatedly pushed back on the 2020 election conspiracies, slamming them as “self-serving lies.” He is also one of the only Republicans who has refused to fall in line with his party’s efforts to impeach Biden and Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, continually noting that neither impeachment effort is based on any evidence of wrongdoing.

Project 2025, please please please inform yourselves if you haven't already.
It is Heritage Foundation backed, an organization that has been influencing Republican policy for decades.
In short, so far, The Heritage Foundation claims that it will basically destroy our system of checks and balances, grant dictatorial powers to the president, gut all regulatory and administrative agencies, and use the unilateral powers of the president to enact a draconian, Christian nationalist, fascist agenda.
This is not a bogeyman, it's real and it's dangerous. And if more voters, especially the "average" voter, were more informed about the seriousness of this agenda, just maybe, it could help give democrats an edge in the upcoming election.

He already has.
A friend of mine once spent a night in jail for smirking at a judge while contesting a parking ticket. And Trump has threatened judge’s family members and hasn’t spent one minute behind bars.
