peak4 Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 Trump is certainly worth listening to; in this case his niece Mary The Good in Us by Mary L. Trump Donald Thinks We’re Idiots The truth is that Donald Trump’s Project 2025 (which is how we must refer to it from now on) is terrifying—a real and perfect distillation and embodiment of all of the dystopian horrors Donald will visit on this country if he gets back into power. The whole point of the playbook is to consolidate power behind an imperial right-wing executive, rig the economy so it works only for the richest among us, punish political enemies, and force an extreme Christian Nationalist ideology on Americans while institutionalizing racism, misogyny and anti-immigrant hatred I've written about The Heritage foundation on here before, but with little engagement, so I imagine few folk have followed the links. This one is important to understand the motives of Donald Trump and his backers. I wouldn't expect anyone to read it all, as it's 900 pages, but this is the Heritage Foundation & Trumps plan for shaping the future USA, and some of the western world. Do read the whole page of Mary's substack though. Check out possible links between Heritage and our Institute for Economic Affairs. Project 2025 Mandate for Leadership The Conservative Promise - Presidential Transition Project Forget the bit from Mary L Trump if you will, but take Project 2025 seriously. Lots of stuff in there which should horrify many in this country, and over there too. e.g. I do understand that not everyone approves of gender ideology discussion and research/literature, but to class it at pornography and then suggest this as a consequence............ Page 5 The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned. Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders. And telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah you're probably right there. I perhaps should have said Being so close to death could make any American believe there was divine intervention 😀 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As The New Republic notes, Project 2025 is “a remarkably detailed guide to turning the United States into a fascist’s paradise.” The primary document of Project 2025, the magazine explains, lays out what is essentially a “Christian nationalist vision of the United States, one in which married heterosexuality is the only valid form of sexual expression and identity; all pregnancies would be carried to term, even if that requires coercion or death; and transgender and gender-nonconforming people do not exist.” It’s a terrifying vision of what American life could look like, but what’s most concerning about Project 2025 is its playbook for the first 180 days of a hypothetical second Trump term. “The time is short, and conservatives need a plan,” the playbook states. “The project will create a playbook of actions to be taken in the first 180 days of the new Administration to bring quick relief to Americans suffering from the Left’s devastating policies.” Among the numerous troubling suggestions laid out in the playbook is a detailed plan to essentially purge the federal workforce of tens of thousands of workers in favor of hiring ones who will adhere to the conservative principles of Project 2025. Paul Dans, a former Trump administration official who’s director of Project 2025’s Presidential Transition Project, told the Associated Press the 180 day transition plan is a “clarion call to come to Washington… People need to lay down their tools, and step aside from their professional life and say, ‘This is my lifetime moment to serve.’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
