[1] ['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.'] Date: 2023-07-24 Ok, so I saw this posted on a friend’s Facebook page and I thought it was a fringe thing. However, since it is sponsored by the Heritage Foundation, it’s a real thing and it’s something that should be discussed. I checked and no one seems to be reporting on it. So I have taken it upon myself to draw some attention to it. The Republicans have launched a plan to reorganize the United States Government into a basic Dictatorship, by largely dissolving all government agencies and placing it under the purview of the Presidency. They are calling it the 2025 Project: https://www.project2025.org/policy/?fbclid=IwAR3lSNTbW0aTqXNHb8ch52LkEN9Tlq-T6BaE1-1_7agB9NhxvQaVULsNsVM They seem to think that a Republican is already guaranteed to be in office: “The next conservative President will enter office on January 20, 2025.” Which, based on their continued support of the “Big Lie,” coupled with highly restrictive, new gerrymandered maps, newly enacted Voter Suppression laws as well as legislation that allows State Legislature to throw out election results it doesn’t like, it seems as though the Republicans are looking to once again cheat their way to the Presidency. They see the writing on the wall. T***p, T***pism and the associated MAGA ideology is a failure and it certainly won’t win enough votes to put them into power. So they now must not only resort to outright cheating, but they have now concocted an over-arching, overreaching scheme to do away with the Democratic United States “experiment” and go full-tilt-boogie into an autocratic, oligarch controlled, dictatorship. Now that they’ve amassed more money than they can spend in several generations, they now need to consolidate their power. They are using the culture war to further divide America into Us vs Them by taking on the assumption that Conservatives, not Liberals, are the MAJORITY voice in the nation: “The time is short, and conservatives need a plan. 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.” LOL, the “Left’s” devastating policies...that they OF COURSE don’t tell you what those policies are or in what way anyone is “suffering.” It’s all fear-mongering conjecture. They have developed a “training” program to help propagandize and brainwash as many people as they can sign up with their “The Presidential Administration Academy.” Only GOD knows what sort of depraved lunacy will be uttered in the four corners of that “classroom.” With such an effort being both externally and publicly funded, the Democrats and Liberal political base will NEED a response to this. In fact, we need to create our own document and policy plan. It’s high time to kick “bipartisanship” or consideration of the “Republican” side of things, to the curb. It’s obvious that the Republican party is no longer interested in shared power. They want all the power or they’ll burn our Democracy down. We narrowly escaped this in 2020. Something has to be done and soon, because complaining about this after it has already happened, will be beyond moot.
