Project 2025, a group helmed by Trump aides and organized by a coalition of right-wing institutions, is prescreening the ideologies and loyalties of thousands of possible foot soldiers. The conservative establishment no longer maintains even the pretense of wanting 'adults in the room' to restrain Trump and keep him to the narrow, boring business of tax cuts and deregulation. The whole point of this headhunting endeavor is to find personnel who will be less squeamish, perhaps even enthusiastic, about Trumps authoritarian tendencies. Not guardrails, but wheel greasers.
This is the government voters will choose if they choose Trump next November.

Trump is actually telling the truth about the hellscape he wants to establish and rule over. Millions will vote for "Dear Leader." But, hopefully, that vote will fall short of him actually winning or stealing the election.

(10,113 posts)I just searched on that term, and most of the hits were from September or earlier. One site lauded Project 2025 because of its claim that they would reduct suicide rates by 20% by 2025!
It is not enough to simply mention the organization and say they are supporting Trumps plan for his second term. Each aspect of the actual proposals they plan to implement for every part of government to remove all guardrails needs to be front and center. I wish someone would do a poll to see how many voters have even heard of Project 2025. I suspect its very few.

The true monsters throughout human history have all possessed this genetic perversion, and there are always hordes of room-temperature IQs all too eager to swear fealty to those mutants so they can share in the toxic glory of such power.
It never ends well. Just ask Mr. Schickelgruber, Il Duce, Pol Pot, Jim Jones, or David Koresh. The world is better without them, but millions will suffer or die needlessly while their malevolent policies poison political discourse.
Bottom line: Trump and the scum that conceived Project 2025 have to be stopped by any means necessary, or Hell will boil over. And it's already getting way too warm.

At the point where the illusion becomes too expensive to maintain, they will just take down the scenery, they will pull back the curtains, they will move the tables and chairs out of the way and you will see the brick wall at the back of the theater. ~Frank Zappa
Shrinking land mass, drought, crop failures, species die off, massive human migration like we've never seen before. The rich are buying up everything north of Colorado, maybe even Wyoming if they're smart. I couldn't believe the price of houses in Montana!! My friend jokes that the really rich are buying caves.
Democracy will be harder & harder to hold onto as climate change gets worse.

It's a long read, but just reading the intro and skimming the subheads is all that's necessary. It's terrifying.

(12,881 posts)Dear leader is vociferously waving those red flags, as is the organization for an American autocracy.
A Christo-fascist oligarchy is staring us in the face, yet much of the "liberal media" is treating it as politics as usual.
