romad1 Posted May 11 Share Posted May 11 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025 These are the people involved Quote Project 2025's advisory board consists of "a broad coalition of over 80 conservative organizations"—mainly conservative think tanks, as well as several universities and the magazine The American Conservative.[22] As of February 2024, the project has over 100 partner organizations.[23] Notable authors of the project's Mandate for Leadership include many officials and advisors from the Trump administration, including Jonathan Berry, Ben Carson, Ken Cuccinelli, Rick Dearborn, Thomas Gilman, Mandy Gunasekara, Gene Hamilton, Christopher Miller, Bernard McNamee, Stephen Moore, Mora Namdar, Peter Navarro, William Perry Pendley, Diana Furchtgott-Roth, Kiron Skinner, Roger Severino, Hans von Spakovsky, Brooks Tucker, Russell Vought, and Paul Winfree.[24] Right there are the people who need to answer for all this.

romad1 Posted May 11 Author Share Posted May 11 Right here is the key point Quote The plan aims to reinstate Schedule F, a Trump-era executive order that makes federal employees fireable at-will, stripping tens of thousands of employees of civil service protections. Both Trump and others in the conservative movement have said they will clear out the federal government if he is reelected. The project has even set up online trainings and loyalty tests to narrow down potential hires to those who will commit to follow Trump without question. As Project 2025 senior adviser John McEntee has said, “The number one thing you're looking for is people that are aligned with the agenda.” Eliminating the merit-based bureaucracy in favor of loyalty to the person of Trump. No longer a nation of laws but a nation of single person rule. NO THANKS! Particularly when he starts ordering those newly enfranchised government goons to go out and punish Trump's enemies.

Red hats truly, honestly believe that The Trump administration will work for them and elevate them above their enemies, but it didn’t happen last time because the commie Democrat party thwarted them at every turn. This time it’ll be different, and that’s why they are jacked about Project 2025. The red hat rank-and-file doesn’t care about democracy because democracy is how black and brown (and red and yellow) people achieve equality with them. Red hats don’t want equality, whether under the law or in any other way—they want supremacy, like their grandaddies and great-grandaddies had when, you know, America was Great. And that’s why they are badmouthing democracy as a concept more and more. https://nymag.com/intelligencer/2022/08/trump-maga-democracy-fraud.html Edited May 11 by chasfh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do want those things and do understand the adverse affects those things may have on themselves but it is worth their personal sacrifice if the concentration camps are operational again - even for just a little while. They have been waiting for this since the 1930's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romad1 Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 Can't wait to have these conversations with people after all this stuff is fully reported to the American public. How many of our racist uncles will sheepishly apologize to us that they didn't know that mafia curious, pro-Russia failed casino owners who employed Roy Cohn and whose father was arrested at a KKK rally, and whose favorite book is the picture version of Mein Kampf. might be dictator wannabe.

No wonder Americans thinks of soldiers as benevolent gods on Earth appointed to protect them by raining death and hellfire on people they hate. That’s what they want here, because that’s what they’ve been trained to want here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern culture in general rules America, whether it’s veneration of the military, or the ubiquity of country music, or the spread of evangelical religion, or the watching of Hallmark Channel movies. Also, practicing and/or wishing cruelty on those who don’t share their nativist culture, because we respect toughness projected proactively by those of modest means—which is another way of saying everyday bullying. Just another example of how the North won the war, but the South won the peace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just another example of how the North won the war, but the South won the peace. Being a baptist kid in the Detroit suburbs was weird. I always felt like I was at a disadvantage talking to all the kids who had "communions" and "cattykism" and all the kids at my church were from down south. Even so, being a northern Baptist was suspect to those folks when i went and visited my in-laws in North Carolina. I made my dog tags in the military say "Protestant No Pref" just so I could maintain my distance with all the in-crowd catholics of my youth and those doctrinaire weirdo snake handlers and megachurchers in the protestant churches i'd encountered. The single best sermon of my life was the Black chaplain whose service i attended in basic training who friggin knocked it out of the park because he spoke to what to me at the time felt like being "oppressed" as a kid in that basic training life cauldron and gave great inspiration when I was ready to have that. I don't think I've ever listened to a sermon since that had that effect on me. So, yeah, white evangelical culture: not a fan. Black evangelical culture: I get why it has great value. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romad1 Posted May 12 Author Share Posted May 12 I remember saying at the time when Jim Clyburn endorsed Joe Biden that the most conservative force in the country were middle-class African Americans (especially, women). They know the stakes. I just hope they continue to know the stakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
