Project 2025, if allowed, will cement America as a rightwing authoritarian state ⋆ Michigan Advance

In 1970, as political activist Angela Davis languished in a jail cell for a crime she didn’t commit, acclaimed writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin warned her and us in an open letter “… If we know, then we must fight for your life as though it were our own – which it is […]

The language of the linked article by Mr Barrington Salmon may seem to veer into conspiracy territory at times…if it wasn’t so well-documented. At the risk of “yelling into a echo chamber”…

“The actions of liberal politicians in Washington have created a desperate need and unique opportunity for conservatives to start undoing the damage the Left has wrought and build a better country for all Americans in 2025,” the Project 2025 manifesto said. “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.”

Meyerson, editor-at-large at The American Prospect, said far-right conservatives and The Heritage Foundation have an extensive enemies’ list that includes “welfare recipients, lazy and liberal civil servants, anti-business regulators, environmentalists, and union bosses, “scientists, woke bureaucrats, woke educators, woke diplomats, woke generals and admirals, woke G-men, and anyone who doesn’t indulge the next Republican president’s every whim (an adaptation to the likelihood of a Trump nomination),” in the commentary titled, “The Far Right Has a Plan to Remake America. They Even Wrote It Down.”

America is at an inflection point, vacillating on a knife’s edge because of Trump, who has tapped into a deep reservoir of grievance, hatred and resentment plans that will be fully unleashed in a second term. Trump’s incendiary rhetoric – mirroring Hitler and Mussolini – is convincing observers that he’s a fascist, to add to his authoritarian bent.

    And what have Democrats offered to counter this with? Nothing. They have just as much to benefit from P2025 as Republicans. But Republicans are honest in their intent.

      It’s true. The Dems haven’t promised to essentially burn the Constitution with a spoiled rich-kid alleged con man to treat the country as his personal playground.

      They have just as much to benefit from P2025 as Republicans.

      Ok, I’ll bite. Such as…?

      But Republicans are honest in their intent.

      Especially in these recent times, I’d say Republicans can’t even spell “honest” in a game of hangman with five of the six letters exposed. And, really, since when has dictatorship ever been part of the GOP plan until 2016?
