Watch out for 'Project 2025'!

[NorrinRadd]

You haven't read it!
Just read the Foreword on its policy!

I second the exhortation.

At 17 pages, it is definitely too long, but that is literally my ONLY complaint with it.

That's hilarious, NorrinRadd, your only complaint with it is that you haven't read it because it's too long. LOL.

^^ NR did NOT say that he didn't read it, and the inference is that he actually did.

A) He never said that.
2) I just skimmed over it, Jim, after seeing that the main contributors were Heritage Foundation.

So no more FBI for you? No more Homeland security?
The shocking proposals just go on and on without end.

He specifically said he read only 17 pages.

Looks to me like the whole conversation was about those 17 pages. Jim, you'll find I check things pretty carefully. To catch me out being wrong, you have to be at least as careful as me.

Or lucky, I guess. I miss things sometimes.

My understanding is that it's a playbook for Donald Trump to gut the Federal Government, though he'll probably only do that after prosecuting his political enemies.

920 pages is a lot more than "17" (I knows math!)

[NorrinRadd]

eider said "Just read the Foreword on its policy!"

The Foreword alone is an annoying 17 pages. I read it.

Maybe they intended to own the libs by shear verbosity.

This would be more in alignment with things like that: The Resistance to a New Trump Administration Has Already Started

We used to call those things "shadow governments" and their trying to subvert government policy was deemed as wholly unethical if not illegal.

No, rogue. The resistance, and their certainly should be a resistance, is to the obvious Autocracy being planned and shaped by the far right think tanks such as this, the Heritage Foundation et al which are operated by the wealthy plutocrats, who will thru these plans direct Trump in exactly how to go about doing what he wasn't capable of achieving on his own the first time around. The plan is Trump's map, and just as the Federalist Society supplied the ideologues, the right wing Supreme Court Justices for Trump to
Nominate, they will supply too the loyalist sycophants for Trump to appoint as heads of what previously were our Democrat Institutions, that is those Democrat Institutions that they don't abolish. In other words these political think tanks have been doing a lot of thinking and have obviously been shaping their Authoritarian form of government that they intend to replace our American democracy with and Trump is exactly the kind of man, the narcissistic, treasonous, wannabe dictator that they needed to pull it off. Vote Blue!!! Or lose you're democracy. They aren't making those plans just for the hell of it.

Oh ok, my bad then. I haven't read the entire thread, so I'll certainly trust you on that one It just sounded funny to me that he read 17 pages out of 920 and found the only thing wrong with it was that it was too long.

Thank you Juvenal for setting me straight on that.

And Apologies to NorrinRadd. Again, My bad!

All good...... Project 2025 is not just their plan, it's their dream to achieve, and it reminds me of how Hitler's regime got started.

What's a suitably new and modern term for 'New Nazis'?

That would be Neo-Nazis, and can you give a couple of examples that lead you to compare these ideas to Nazism?
