2025 you said...?

Big has mentioned Project 2025 several times and I have seen that title pop up in my searches under 'authoritarian' and under 'fascism in America' and under 'right wing takeover' and under 'theocracy'. So yeah. Worth posting about it. Just a quick overview:

The Conservative Heritage Foundation (a rightwing group) has got a radical plan known as Project 2025, aiming to reshape the U.S. government by injecting deeply held ideologies, including Christian nationalism. It highlights the connection between this vision of Christian autocracy and the potential Republican nominee, Donald Trump, who expressed intentions for a Christian nationalist government if re-elected. Trump proposed various controversial policies such as restricting transgender rights and curtailing government agencies.

Project 2025 is a multi-million dollar effort by Trump allies. It outlines drastic changes like defunding the Department of Justice, dismantling the FBI and Department of Homeland Security, and consolidating power under presidential control. The plan suggests defining freedom by God, restructuring agencies like the Federal Communications Commission, and enhancing media control.

There will be vetting of Trump loyalists to replace career civil servants, paving the way for loyalists like Stephen Miller (!!!) and Jeffrey Clark to influence government decisions. It also touches on potential vice-presidential candidates, including Tucker Carlson (!!!) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (!!!), emphasizing loyalty over merit. A kakistocracy of the first order, in other words.

Project 2025 proposes abolishing crucial governmental agencies like the Department of Education and Health and Human Services (the dumber the better). By eliminating experts and centralizing power, the plan aims to create a governance structure reminiscent of authoritarian regimes, consolidating leadership into a select group of loyalists. And you know where that leads when it comes to LGBTQ+ rights, no?

The implications of abolishing key departments extend beyond policy changes, affecting governance and potentially leading to corrupt practices (duh). There are similar governance models in other countries, especially countries with a strongman in power, emphasizing the dangers of consolidating power and circumventing established government systems (think Vlad, Erdogan, Chávez...).

This is what I tell people: there will be the consequences of abstaining to vote or using the stupid Michigan strategy of withdrawing their vote from Biden just last week. That kind of stupidity will lead to the implementation of Project 2025, because a vote denied to Biden is a vote for Mango Mussolini and a vote to make Project 2025 a reality in America. Both parties are not the same: one will keep leading the country into progress and a better life, the other will be eroding expert-led governance in favor of centralized power structures and the dismantling of essential government agencies. The choice is clear, I think. But you know me. I only have a blog in which I bark at the moon. I could be wrong.

So yes, Vote fucking Blue and don't dillydally thinking that your screams for a well-intentioned yet misguided push for radical changes in a government that are more rooted in geopolitics than attached to one man (Biden) will have any immediate results. Think about your country, so you can worry about how you can influence what happens in other countries. And in case you want to keep screaming into the void about injustices, run for fucking office, you ninny!

XOXO

P.S. **Project 2025 Overview and Potential Impact on America** is just a google search away, BTW. No matter what the far Left says...

Project 2025 is a strategic plan aimed at reshaping the executive branch of the U.S. federal government in the event of a Republican victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election[2]. This project is associated with conservative organizations and is viewed as an opportunity to counteract what they perceive as damage caused by liberal politicians in Washington[5]. If implemented, Project 2025 could potentially lead to significant changes in the governance and policies of the United States, aligning them more closely with right-wing ideologies and potentially shifting the country towards a more conservative and authoritarian direction[1]. The project has raised concerns about its implications for civil rights, LGBTQ rights, and other progressive causes, with critics warning that it could solidify America as a right-wing authoritarian state[1]. The Heritage Foundation, a key player in Project 2025, aims to influence policy decisions and reshape the nation according to conservative principles[4].
