Group behind Project 2025 floats conspiracy theory that Joe Biden will use force

to stay in power. Sweet baby jeebus...everything is projection with these people.

WASHINGTON — A conservative think tank that is planning for a complete overhaul of the federal government in the event of a Republican presidential win is suggesting that President Joe Biden might try to hold the White House "by force" if he loses the November election.

The Heritage Foundation's warning — which goes against Biden's own public statements — appeared in a report released Thursday that the group said resulted from a role-playing exercise gaming out potential scenarios before and after the 2024 election.WASHINGTON — A conservative think tank that is planning for a complete overhaul of the federal government in the event of a Republican presidential win is suggesting that President Joe Biden might try to hold the White House "by force" if he loses the November election.

They are chomping at the bit for some tough love martial law to "straighten things out and get right with Jesus".

Day after SCrOTUS gave the felon "immunity":

“And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” -- Kevin Roberts, pre$ident, Heritage Foundation, in service to Big Oil.

They will claim that the election was stolen from Tr**p by Biden and the Dems and they won't concede.

So when the Dems and Biden take issue with the R's claiming the election was stolen and the Dems move to take control - the R's will say see - we told you that Biden is going to use force to stay in power.

The R's are simply setting the tone for a Tr**p loss - with the excuse that Biden is using force to stay in power.

Now they accuse Dems and Joe Biden of planning to do the same.

Yeah, that's projection in it's purest form.

12. FEAR is a huge motivator toward conservative thinking

and that ISN'T my opinion

See: https://gspp.berkeley.edu/assets/uploads/research/pdf/jost.glaser.political-conservatism-as-motivated-social-cog.pdf

That study suggests that FEAR is the number 2 motivator of conservative cognition.

So, the conservative propagandists try to raise our fear, so that we move toward them.

Approaching the Left in that way is unusual, and I suspect that's why Hillary's 'FEAR TRUMP' campaign didn't find the traction she hoped it would generate

They'll claim he lost and Trump won no matter what and Joe can do whatever he wants now anyway courtesy of the SCOTUS.

Anything is better than Trump in power again and that 2025 horror story implemented.

Unfortunately, Joe, supported no doubt by the Democrats, would more than likely do the "right thing" and play by the book, thereby ending the democracy that was once the United States of America, shining light and hope of the free world for over 200 years. Seems like we always do "the right thing" and lose with America the less for it.

Hope I'm wrong but glad I'm old at the same time.
