Project 2025, the work of the Heritage Foundation, is a declaration of war on American democracy, the US Constitution, and the rule of law.
Authoritarian Fascism would replace the kind of government we have had for nearly 250 years.
It would establish a dictatorship, with a crazed, unstable criminal in charge, and even if Donald Trump was not aware of policy details, there would be a massive number of ideological loyalists, much younger, who would be making policy and enforcing discipline, with some of them already involved in illegal and criminal activities in the first Trump administration.
Trump has made clear he wants to be a dictator on Day One, but clearly it would not stop on that day!
Project 2025 would allow Trump the ability to deploy the military against American citizens who utilized the right of assembly to protest government policies!
Project 2025 would promote the arrest and deportation of up to 11 million non citizens, who would be placed in internment camps, a reminder of what happened to Japanese Americans in World War II!
Project 2025 would allow the termination of tens of thousands government employees, to be replaced by Trump loyalists, who would have a deleterious effect on government policy in a multitude of areas!
Project 2025 would promote Christian Nationalism, and impose religious beliefs in public schools, already occurring in Louisiana and Oklahoma, ignoring the reality that it would undermine religious freedom and separation of church and state!
Project 2025 would allow political persecution of opponents, both in government and the media, with Trump threatening imprisonment of prominent critics, including those who investigated the January 6, 2021 US Capitol Insurrection!
Trump himself has said that while he wants everyone to vote in 2024, that he does not care if they vote after that, implying there may not be any future elections as he would be President for life!
So much more will be delineated in future articles, but all of the above is alarming to the extreme, and every effort must be made to insure that Donald Trump never gets near the Oval Office again!
Trump’s ‘Secretary of Retribution’ compiles hit list for ‘vigilante death warrant’. The list is extensive and includes numerous Democratic and Republican elected officials; FBI and intelligence officials; members of the House Select January 6 Committee; U.S. Capitol Police officers and civilian employees; witnesses in Trump’s two impeachment trials and the Jan. 6 committee hearings; and journalists from publications ranging from CNN and the Washington Post to Reuters and Raw Story — all considered political enemies of Trump.

Republicans Preview the Voter Suppression Policies They’ll Enact if Trump Wins
The House passed a new bill that could lead to widespread voter disenfranchisement.

Fake electors are going to be GOP convention delegates.

Even if Dems loose both chambers and presidency, the Senate could stop all bills in their tracks unless the Repugnicans use the nuclear option to blow up the 60 vote majority rule.
That being said, I’m not putting anything beyond the Republicans as they are so “Cow Towed” to Trump and the Extremists MAGAs these days.
Remember, Hitler and the Nazi Party’s meteoric rise to power began in 1930, when it attained 107 seats in Germany’s parliament, the Reichstag.
By 1932, they had taken over all of Germany’s governmental aspects.
As we know… that all worked out well as many German citizens cheered in admiration because “Hitler made Germany Great Again!”
(The old adage, “The only thing new is the history you haven’t learned.”)
After my time of 6 years doing consulting engineering in Columbus, Low education level of the masses. Rural Ohioans don’t go beyond high school. I just can’t wrap my head around how Ohio is so “Hell Bent” on supporting this Reactionary Extremists Ideology coming from the Republicans nationally.
How did it get so broken?
Low education level of the masses. Rural Ohioans don’t go beyond high school. I would also add probably a low aptitude complemented by apathetic motivation to even do better as the years grew on.
