I hope my title doesn’t trigger some AI bot and get me sent to the penalty box, because irony and satire. I just read Kos’ encouraging piece, about the European and UK fascist dominoes falling, as a warning to our domestic fascist branch, the Republican Party, and their nominee, with more-felonies-than-Baskin-Robbins-has-flavors, Donald J. Trump, and the constellation of hundreds of Project 2025 collaborating organizations and institutions in league with them.
The November election may well wipe the smirk off the face of Project 2025’s Gene Hamilton, the former Trump staffer and VP and general counsel of America First Legal, who wrote the section on the Department of Justice for Project 2025. Several Democrats on the House Judiciary Weaponization Subcommittee grilled him about the various provisions which contravene Constitutional norms, and turn much of the federal workforce into at-will political appointees, regardless of their qualifications or expertise.
Kevin Roberts, the president of the Heritage Foundation, an uber-conservative think tank that is behind the explosive 900-page “Project 2025” blueprint for a second Trump presidency, made this comment during an appearance on Real America’s Voice: “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”
These smug and oleaginous presentations by the big guns associated with the Project 2025 are delivered with disgusting smarminess and arrogance. If there is any bloodshed, it will be all the fault of the Left, they claim.
The more people are hearing about Project 2025 and its fascist underpinnings, the more they want nothing. to. do. with. it. Despite a published photo of Donald Trump and Kevin Roberts in a photo op, Trump tried to disavow knowledge of Project 2025 or any of the people involved with it. The problem for Trump is that Project 2025 is essentially a Trumpification of America blueprint. Trump’s name appears dozens of times throughout the document. There is no way to peel himself away from it, since it is all about him and creating America in his image.
I wish someone would publish a full-page ad with 10 or 20 or 50 bullet-points spelling out how an individual American citizen’s life would be immediately different if Trump were to win, and Project 2025 were implemented.
The election in November will not be between Democrat and Republican, but between Democracy and Totalitarianism. No dictator in history ever did or would give up their power after one day they took office.
