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

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.

Could you elaborate on why you believe this is the case? As near as I can tell, tremendous changes have happened in this country in the absence of any constitutional conventions. They don't seem necessary for very significant and fundamental changes. There's only been one such convention in the history of the United States and yet there have been more laws and changes that I could even begin to count.

Because it can still be argued in the courts if people thinks it violates the Constitution and bill of rights.

Isn't that just our system of checks and balances? Changes have happened even with these things in place. I mean, two years ago half the population just lost some very fundamental rights and protections at the national level. None of this seems to stop some very dramatic, very life impacting (and at times even deadly) changes in people's lives.

And all challenges end up ... where? Clue, it has a 6-3 right wing majority. Another clue, it just said bump stocks are OK.

The whole thing has been set up carefully, step by step, over a quite long period. It just needs the fuse to be lit by a Trump Presidency.

Added: It may fail, but I'll make a prediction. It will be stopped by the Military, not any so called checks and balances.

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!

A shocker, eh?

I breezed through the shocking lists on Wicki until I came to the following:-

Project contributor Jeffrey Clark advises the future president to immediately deploy the military for domestic law enforcement and direct the DOJ to pursue Donald Trump's adversaries by invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807.
......................... I'm reminded of how Hitler pursued all his political foes and impertinent journalists after reaching power.

Americans need to be careful about what they vote for!

And thank you for the heads-up about all this.
