If you wish you had a succinct, mainstream explanation of the horrors of Trump's Project 2025 you could send to your friends and relatives, People magazine has provided one. Please spread this link. No matter how bad you think it is, it's worse. https://people.com/what-is-project-2025-inside-far-right-plan-trump-presidency-8622964
What Is Project 2025? Inside the Far-Right Plan Threatening Everything from the Word 'Gender' to Public Education

Donald Trump's far-right allies created Project 2025 as a blueprint for his possible second term. The controversial plan would push a Christian nationalist agenda that dramatically reshapes the U.S. government and restricts people's freedoms

@stevesilberman People Magazine?

Surprised on two fronts, first that it's still around and second that it isn't a right wing promotion venue.

@stevesilberman How is this annoying orange from genus Trump still allowed to run for president after literally being convicted in the court? It seems moral compass of republicans is so fucked they couldn't find their own ass with it. Why else would (any)one still actively support this psychopath?

Is there something we can do to help from Europe?

@stevesilberman This is the USA equivalent of the German Enabling Act of 1933 which gave the Chancellor the power to make and enforce laws without the involvement of the legislature. It also kneecapped the judicial system (which mostly consisted of far right judges by then anyway). Extreme violence was used against recalcitrants with total immunity for the perpetrators (chiefly the SA or Brownshirts).

@stevesilberman There was an immediate spark for The Enabling Act—even though the process and road towards it were long in coming. The spark being the Reichstag fire (housing the legislature) caused by a confused halfwit. Let’s see what happens after today.

@stevesilberman but recently el señor trumpo said that heritage and their project 2025 were trash, and let them aside, right?

@ivanopina Since I'm allergic to bullshit, and would like to see less bullshit in my feeds, I try to avoid parroting GOP bullshit, otherwise all of our feeds just get more bullshitty.
Show threadJoe FoxJul 13, 2024
@ivanopina @stevesilberman has Trump gone as far as calling project 2025 'trash'? According to the article Trump has said he disagrees with aspects of the plan and also (in a somewhat contradictory statement) says he doesn't know what Project 2025 is.
