Nobody calls it that, but that’s what Project 2025 is. It’s a plan to destroy American democracy but also shows how to implement that plan. You can either try to read the almost thousand-page document released by the Heritage Foundation, or David A. Graham’s little book titled The Project (Random House, 2025—consider this post a review of the latter). It should be required reading for any responsible voter or soon-to-be voter.
Trump denied he ever read it during his 2024 campaign—probably true because he won’t even read his security briefings! (You have to wonder if he can even read.) But those who whisper in his ear, his Hitlerian-like puppet masters, are following Project 2025 because it’s not just policy but how to execute it. In other words, it’s indeed a blueprint for a fascist takeover of the US government that will destroy American democracy if executed.
Don’t think that Project 2025 is just based on the Trump campaign platform either because it’s a lot more than that! Most everything the wannabe dictator has done or tried to do so far comes from that blueprint, and many of Trump’s handlers actually worked on the project and are anxious to implement it. It’s not religious in the constitutional sense; it’s Christian nationalism on steroids, though, where any president becomes America’s ayatollah. But it’s also a proposal for a fascist plutocracy and how to create it. And it’s definitely anti-American! Its authors think the American system is so rotten that they just want to burn it all down. We can’t let that happen.
There are political tomes that have injected evil into the world’s body politic: Those by Marx and Engels and later by Hitler led to a lot of death and suffering. We don’t want that to occur in America!
