Project 2025 is the Republican version of Mein Kampf

[Cyrano]

It is a blueprint for destroying the America that currently exists and replacing it with total power in the hands of a small group of people. And most of these people either worked for, or are politically tied to Trump.

Most of the pundits have told us that horrible things will happen at the border, that "holding camps" will be opened for immigrants waiting to be deported, that tens of thousands in the federal bureaucracy will be replaced by Trump loyalists, that the Dept of Education and the FBI will be done away with, and so, so much more.

Trump says he wants revenge. And given who and what he is, you don't need much imagination to foresee what form that revenge would take:

IMO, the pundits haven't gone far enough.

Trump wants to arrest his enemies. How long do you think it would take before they were executed?

He wants to get rid of the bureaucracy. How long would it take him to ignore, or even disband congress?

The SCOTUS has given the presidency unheard of powers. He'll probably ignore their existence after he rids the Court of the three liberals.

Any whim he wakes up with in the morning will be carried out before evening.

Donald Trump will be the first American Fuhrer. Many pundits know this, but they worn't say it out loud for fear that people will think they're nuts. The fact that I've said it here will probably result in many DUers thinking I'm nuts.

Nonetheless, as I've said before, keep your passport up to date.

2. Indeed.

3. This tome will follow the GOP for decades

Until Leo what's his name is long dead and forgotten the stench of this guide book to autocracy needs to be tied permanently to the GOP.

4. We need to modify Zager and Evans song, "In the year 2525".

Seems like the plutocrats' puppets are speeding things up.

5. I totally agree with you

The threat is being under played, even here on DU. I've been calling for Biden to use his authority to crush these people since the immunity decision, which to me was a game changer. I get responses here like "not this again".

7. Joe would never use the new powers that

the SCOTUS made up out of thin air. (The Constitution doesn't give the president immunity if he breaks the law.)

This goes against everything Joe has ever believed in. Further, I think the majority of the American people would be outraged if Joe were to do any of the things that Trump would do in a heartbeat.

My guess is that Joe would conclude that, using those powers to save democracy would end up destroying democracy.

9. I believe you are correct about everything

In which case what's to be done? Assuming Joe wins, all they will do is scratch out 2025 and pencil in 2029. QSame fascists, same money and Republican sheep behind them.

10. The thought of Joe losing is too horrifying to consider

Not only will it destroy America, but it may well change all of civilization as we know it. Seems to me we could easily end up in an Orwellian "1984," or a "Mad Max," post apocalypse world. Too bad that the vast majority of people just don't pay attention to politics. After all, their lives depend on it.

6. I've been worrying about the exact scenario we're in since George W was in office.

Folks thought I was crazy too, but here we are.

8. Running against Project 2025 is a good move

11. Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it

12. I am too old and too broke

To escape.

So I stand and fight.

13. It's 30 years of Republican think-tank masturbation

Just thinking about these things give them an erection.

Getting the mega-boner onto internet and into people's eyes is akin to political pornhub.
