Re: the meme here, I highly doubt it.  In fact, Project 2025 looks like the present-day Republicans’ dream. From its Wikipedia page:

Project 2025, also known as the Presidential Transition Project, is a collection of conservative and right-wing policy proposals from the Heritage Foundation to reshape the United States federal government and consolidate executive power should the Republican Party candidate win the 2024 presidential election. It proposes reclassifying tens of thousands of merit-based federal civil service workers as political appointees in order to replace them with those who will be more willing to enact the wishes of the next Republican president. It asserts that the president has absolute power over the executive branch.  

Critics of Project 2025 have characterized it as an authoritarian, Christian nationalist plan to transform the United States into an autocracy. Many legal experts have asserted it would undermine the rule of law, the separation of powers, the separation of church and state, and civil liberties.

The fact that Project 2025 would “undermine the rule of law, the separation of powers, the separation of church and state, and civil liberties” is precisely the point; it’s what the Heritage Foundation has been hard at work on since its inception in 1973.

Vermont and Florida: A Key Difference

Can’t swear that the story here is authentic, but it sure rings true.

Vermont is a somewhat quirky state, but it protects its citizens very well. FWIW, this is where I want MY tax dollars going too.

Florida is a deeply red state that, true to form, wants as much ignorance as it can possibly produce. Educated people aren’t voting for people like Ron Desantis.

Republicans: Will This Work?

Published

on

The GOP is asking American voters to believe that “radical left Democrat extremists” are leading the country into socialism/communism. They’re hoping that this fear will outweigh the electorate’s understanding of the damage that Trump, with help of congressional Republicans, is inflicting on this nation in the form of the war in Iran, destroyed relations with allies, inflation, shoddy education, environmental collapse, and threats to Social Security and Medicare.

As we all know, the rate at which a lie becomes accepted as true is a function of the frequency that it is repeated.  And God knows, we see this crap about communism every time we turn around.

But this looks like an unwinnable battle.  Virtually no one wants to abandon free enterprise.  Moreover, Trump’s abysmal polling numbers reflect the fact that is largely despised as a criminal–the most corrupt figure in U.S. history.

How would you like to be campaigning to retired baby boomers on the platform that we cannot afford Social Security any longer, because we’ve siphoned off huge amounts of money, like our president’s “vanity war,” with only further downside in sight, that is costing $1 billion a day?

The SAVE Act

Published

on

It appears that there are a few Republicans who understand the SAVE Act is simply an exercise in voter suppression and thus an attempt to overturn American democracy.

We need to accept any little bit of good news where we can find it.
