Project 2025

[gab13by13]

This is from Wikipedia:

"Project 2025 is a plan to reshape the executive branch of the U.S. federal government in the event of a Republican victory in the 2024 United States presidential election.[1][2] Established in 2022, the project seeks to recruit thousands of conservatives to Washington, D.C. to replace existing federal civil service workers it characterizes as the "deep state" to further the agenda and policies of Donald Trump.[3] The plan would perform a swift takeover of the entire executive branch under a maximalist version of the unitary executive theory — a theory proposing the president of the United States has absolute power of the executive branch — upon inauguration.[4]

The development of the plan is led by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative U.S. think tank, in association with other organizations including the Conservative Partnership Institute and the Center for Renewing America.[5] It envisions widespread changes across the entire government, particularly with regard to economic and social policy and the role of the federal government and federal agencies. The Washington Post reported Project 2025 includes immediately invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy the military for domestic law enforcement and directing the U.S. Department of Justice to pursue Trump adversaries."

I heard someone suggest this; words matter. We pretty much are calling out the move to authoritarianism, yet many people don't get that word. We need to replace the word authoritarian with dictator. It becomes much clearer to people when we say that Trump plans on being dictator of the United States.

Also, many of us are calling out Democrats to campaign on democracy v "dictatorship," just listen to excerpts from Trump's speeches, he is making the case for Democrats. His Veteran's Day speech channeled Hitler. Trump is making it perfectly clear that if elected he will become the dictator of the United States, he is campaigning on it, now we need the MSM to cover it responsibly.

1. Only one way to resolve this

Get Democrats out to vote in massive amounts. And the Independents. You have now a great POTUS and VPOTUS, repbs are reliving the civil war on the political level, yet. Time to go forward what Gobama started. Joe is .... yes he is

2. This Should Be Front Page News

Every day until Election Day

3. To be clear, this is a fascist Republican plan...

To be implemented no matter which GrOPper would be elected President in 2024. I personally believe that they are hoping it isn’t Trump.

4. Absolutely, thank you for the clarity.

I stopped calling them Republicans, they are Magats with Magat Mike Speaker of the House.

11. Though I understand your sentiments...

I have been using the common parlance of “Republican” instead of our DU monikers to make it clear to the unwonks out there that their and democracies’ mortal enemies are living right next door and maybe they should be paying attention when these authoritarians tell them who they are.

12. A Republican candidate supporter came to my home in 2004.

He was told to "get himself off the property and spread the word" that they weren't welcome. No one at this address was stupid enough to tolerate their drivel, ever.

13. Republicans have been cloaking their affiliation lately...

Even in partisan elections. Often going by “Independent” or “Libertarian”, if a party is listed at all.

They did this to themselves. It’s worth a few minutes to do your due diligence before a vote. It is never worth crossing your fingers and holding your nose as we’ve learned.

15. In the age of Google ignorance in a selfish indulgence.

Though the results of such research is often contradicted by propaganda.

5. About Project 2025

https://www.project2025.org/

It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on Day One of the next conservative Administration.

This is the goal of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. The project will build on four pillars that will, collectively, pave the way for an effective conservative Administration.

6. This is freaking terrifying, gab!

But good information.

[gab13by13]

7. What is scary

is that we have several Senators holding up promotions and appointments. Whoever writes Chuck Schumer's speeches needs to make them more forceful.

Tooberville holding up military promotions. This has gone on too long and nothing done about it.

Rand Paul is holding up state department confirmations. I think state department.

Mike Lee is holding up another department.

The entire Magat party is complicit in Project 2025.

Democrats are much more vulnerable in the upcoming Senate election. If we lose the Senate I guarantee that Magats will abolish the filibuster and I guarantee that they will find a way to get "their people" into the top positions that are vacant because of the present magat obstruction.

9. And no doubt that is all part of the plan.

10. There is no real "radical left". That are only people that oppose the GOP's current march to fascism.

But "radical left" will be the name used to carry out their pogroms of squashing any decent.

This is about more than an election. These bastards need to be stopped and then dismantled.

It's all right there for us to see.

14. Democracy vs. Dictator works for me

A great slogan for the meme-driven masses to carry around with them, to share with their friends and families, day-in and day-out. To be repeated over and over in short ads and interweb items with juxtaposed visions of death and destruction vs. peace and prosperity.
