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.
They are both the results of the human need to make sense of the world around us and to unravel life’s great mysteries.
The idea of a calm presentation of the news may have a certain surface-level appeal, and, at most points in history, that may have been completely appropriate.
But what about 1933 when Hitler was coming to power in Germany?
What about 2026 while Trump is destroying American democracy?
If you’re an American and you’re not infuriated, there is something profoundly defective in you.
When I first saw this, I thought it was a joke, but then I realized that means this sincerely.
The president’s approval rating is in the low 30s, as most Americans are disenchanted, to put it kindly, with his corruption, dishonesty, and incompetence.
If I were a Republican running for election, the very last thing I would be promoting to voters is any association whatsoever with Trump.
