I do not know if this has been ballyhooed enough. Maybe some of you have heard of Project 2025. Maybe some of you have been sufficiently scared by this proposal to sound the alarms. But I do not think enough have been scared enough. This is a really frightening proposal and the extreme right is fully ready to put their proposals into practice almost immediately.

Here is a video explaining some of the plans. This video has a little age, but I was trying to find one that was sufficiently serious about this plan to get people’s attention. (10 minutes)

Hopefully this video will sufficiently awaken folks to the reality of how much danger our form of government is in. This fall we will have a clear choice to maintain our democracy even though it is from perfect or losing our democracy not for something better, but to an authoritarian government with a few wealthy elites in charge. 

Sadly our corporate media will do little or nothing to explain Project 2025 or the danger it represents.  No doubt the goals of Project 2025 line up well with corporate media’s policies. Thus we are on our own to understand and spread our concerns. 

A group name “Stop The Coup” released a ten page list of key proposals of Project 2025. You can find it here:

In addition to that warning we have a response to Project 2025 from the Democratic Party Rapid Response Team. This one page response ends with this warning from the New York Times:

New York Times: “Roberts told me that he views Heritage’s role today as ‘institutionalizing Trumpism.’ This includes leading Project 2025, a transition blueprint that outlines a plan to consolidate power in the executive branch, dismantle federal agencies and recruit and vet government employees to free the next Republican president from a system that Roberts views as stacked against conservative power. The lesson of Trump’s first year in office, Roberts told me, is that ‘the Trump administration … simply got a slow start. And Heritage and our allies in Project 2025 believe that must never be repeated.’”

Finally I will link to this rather long (36:35) video that goes into some depth on Project 2025. Lawyer Leeja Miller explains how badly Project 2025 will totally screw up our democracy:
