'Essence of authoritarianism': Expert warns 'Project 2025' would create a Trump 'autocracy'

[struth]

None of them are out of a job because of Donald Trump.

Nothing that Donald Trump has done to the Republican Party can be called "cleaning house". Far from it. Trump has conducted a hostile take-over, and fired anyone who refuses to say that he won the 2020 election.

Why do Cult members always characterize any criticism of the criminal they elected President as "whining". Trump is the guy who is constantly whining. It's UNFAIR. Nobody has been treated so badly as he has. Witch hunt!!!!

Once again, they claim that Democrats are behaving just like Trump.

They aren’t working for the RNC anymore are they? They went to where losers go after they are canned

There's A GOP Plan For A Killing Spree If Trump Wins

Buried on page 554 of the plan is a directive to execute every remaining person on federal death row — and dramatically expand the use of the death penalty.

Project 2025 is a major danger!

It's straight up authoritarianism, with even federal employees screened for loyalty.

Minor problem: It appears that a large swath of the country wants an Orban, or a Pinochet. Turns out all these "Constitution-loving rugged individualists" want a flamboyant New York City celebrity billionaire to take care of them.

Who knew.

The Heritage Foundation — a well-funded, influential far-right group in Washington, DC — has been quietly vetting tens of thousands of arch-conservative acolytes to staff up the federal government under the next Republican administration as part of its "Project 2025" presidential transition plan. One scholar of authoritarian movements around the globe is sounding the alarm over what that would mean should former President Donald Trump win a second term in the White House.

During a Saturday segment on MSNBC, New York University professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat told host Ali Velshi that Project 2025 would effectively transform American government from a meritocratic democracy to a regime resembling Vladimir Putin's Russia. She pointed to Heritage's calls to eliminate numerous government agencies that serve as checks on the executive branch as merely one example.

"The essence of authoritarianism is removing restraints on the leader and making him immune from prosecution by domesticating government," Ben-Ghiat said. "And so some of what Project 2025 proposes, like abolishing the DOJ and the FBI is designed for that end, to make it impossible to prosecute Trump and allow him to commit crimes with impunity."

Sounds ominous to me! What do you think?

We’re currently living through democrat Fascism

The irony of Project 2025 and the pronouncements about Trump seeking revenge against those who are trying to hold him accountable for his crimes is this. Said pronouncements will be included in pre-trial motions to dismiss any case brought against a prosecutor. Trump is unwittingly providing ammunition for the defense.

That is personal freedom. You would have everyone live a narrow life based on idiocy. This would lead to shorter life spans as you'd ban most of science and limit the fuck out of education. That isn't good. Some people want to do things to their bodies and maybe we should let them.

Not a personal freedom. Not when taxpayers foot the bill.
