Project 2025. It is time to start paying attention -- before it's too late.

In short, Project 2025 is a plan to first alter the federal government on a fundamental level, and second to use that reformed federal government to alter the very fabric of American society. If you don't understand that, of course it won't concern you -- but if you do understand it, then you should be very, very concerned indeed.

Here are just a few things I gleaned from it:
  • it attacks the lgbtq plus community and it calls to “maintain a biblically based social science reinforced definition of marriage and family" that might interfere with things like adoption
  • it would cut funding for renewables and increase dirty energy usage and production
  • it would use the FDA to go after reproductive rights
  • it would of course provide more tax breaks to corporations
  • it paints the US state department as some kind of rogue leftist organization
  • it calls to repel parts of the Affordable Care Act that more than 40 million Americans use to use get their health insurance
  • it advocates banning grown-up movies and images entirely, and imprisoning those who produce or participate in them
  • it calls to get rid of the Department of Education … period (the department that makes sure that educational facilities are living up to their obligations when it comes to civil rights)
  • it calls for a rethinking support for the Kurds that means further abandoning and betraying them
...and so very much more. It is over 900 pages long, so I obviously don't think people are going to read it. But you can use the search feature to look for topics that interest you, and see what Republicans are really planning for America's future -- a future that they hope will be under Trump and those he appoints as his "loyal" administrators. You can search for terms like "LGBTQ" or "DEI" or "Education" or "Woke," or anything else you can think of.

But you really should look!

And Trump will deny its influence but tell his base that there are some very good ideas in there so to keep up his just vote for me it will be YUGE.

I have been thinking of starting a thread on this for a while. I haven't because I haven't actually read it yet, so thanks for the kick in the caboose.

Just for example, I did a search for "woke" in Section One "Taking the Reins of Government," and found, right at the beginning, this telling sentence:

"America is now divided between two opposing forces: woke revolutionaries and those who believe in the ideals of the American revolution."
Well, woke really does just mean being aware of racial and social inequalities and injustice, and it must not be forgotten that the American revolution occurred at a time when slavery was a very important underpinning of the economies of quite a few states! But that's not what bothers me -- the statement itself is deliberately designed to obfuscate, and pretend that those early idealists (who Americans should strive to emulate) weren't really racists at all: they just owned people who happened to be black. History may not repeat itself, but it can teach us important lessons, which if we fail to learn we will certainly repeat.

I'm waiting for the defenders to jump in and say "Trump is just joking, he doesn't mean it..."
This is also a Koch endorsed agenda I believe. Which means policies that will benefit corporations instead of working people.
These are the people that control the Republican party

And if they get their way, they are also the people that will remake America in their own image. "Oh, we can't force you to be Christian -- but we can force you to behave as if you are! Or relegate you to the waste bin of America."

You could peruse it and see for yourself it's formulators, financial and political supporters. You won't because you mostly agree or at least consent and you're not anti-authoritarian as you would like to claim. Their own flippin web site .......

You failed to recognize one thing however, that in order to change our country's political makeup, that would require a constitutional convention, so anything or everything people say about this stuff just is not going to happen.

One last thing.

They don't give a damn about a constitutional convention. They want past that annoying obstacle.

Either way whether it's coming from Republicans or Democrats there is no way this country is going to change without a constitutional convention. Its pure conspiracy territory even if it's my side of the aisle.

And Trump didn't write a single letter of it, so the question is who did. And no doubt Trump will appoint them to government positions, and they will run things. Trump will just allow it all to happen. Trump is the perfect liar who can sell this horrible agenda to the base.

I'm worried about it, but I don't think "vote blue" is the solution either. This isn't going to just go away, and represents some much deeper issues than this election cycle. That said, I think Christian Nationalism is louder than it is strong.
