Check out his other plan…. Agenda 47….. This and Project 2025 should have every Freedom loving American running to vote against this fucking scumbag…. They seriously think he’s joking about becoming a Dictator/Autocrat…. It’s not a fucking joke. It’s not fucking hyperbole and rhetoric…. It’s his plan to turn himself into “King”

Yea we decided to stay with Project 2025 because Agenda 47 seems to be just a rebrand in an attempt to muddy the waters on Project 2025, but all of it definitely is an attempt to become a king

Isn’t Agenda 47 the Republican platform?

Expand full comment

Yes, it's re-branding.

Agenda 47 is a watered-down, sanitized, Cliff Notes version of Project 2025.

Expand full comment

Agenda47 was a product of the Trump campaign ( in the pre-primary stage) so Trump cannot credibly disassociate himself from it.

Trump really doesn’t have a serious policy agenda other than

1. It’s ALL about me, my power, my glorification, increasing my wealth.

Anyone against any of this is my mortal enemy. I must be-the law!! I demand loyalty.

2. Hatred and fear of “others”, especially women (other than as sex toys) and black and brown people.

As john bolton says, he does deals, not policy.

Because of this lack of decent policy ideas he is weak and incomplete as a President. This weakness attracts prople with policy agendas that have been firmly rejected by the founders and ever since. agendas against america itself (eg Putin, Kim) or agendas to fundamentally change America (those who want very limited government, no free elections, cancel the bill of rights or terminate the whole constitution etc., isolationists ) He will trade adoption of their policy agendas for adulation, money and/or votes. Because he is a very unself-aware narcissist he does not realize he has become their puppet.

Project 2025 is a massive accumulation of such unpopular policies. Of course he doesnt know what’s actually in it, (920 pages—cmon man!!) but he knows he will be in charge of it by hiring the brains of it, who have falsely convinced him of their personal loyalty.

Trump is their puppet and their fool.

I tried watching the many videos on Trump's campaign website that discuss Agenda 47.

[he wrote, suppressing a gag reflex]

But the stuff in his videos is so closely aligned with Project 2025 that it's hard to disconnect the two.

Pass the watered down version and reenforce it to full strength later.

Right, but I'm worried less about him than about the neofascists, billionaires, and other cretins behind him. He didn't write those plans. He's a means to the right-wingers' end.

I'm really surprised by this transformation. They were always right-wing, but they used to be pro-democracy, at least in public. Project 2025 is a whole different animal.

I get it, but I also get how USians tend to overfocus on individuals rather than the ideologies, organizations, corporations, *and money* behind them. It's one reason the right wing has been running circles around liberals for decades.

Project 2025 overarching power for a president, the recent Supreme Court ruling that says a president is not accountable for crimes committed in office, Trump's own statements that he will "be dictator for a day" and that he wants "vengeance"--

SHOULD ALARM EVERYONE!

The Center for American Progress makes it easy to understand what Trump's Project 2025 would do-- starting on Day One of a Republican presidency:

I absolutely do NOT agree. When someone is passionately angry and righteously so, sometimes only swearing gets the full flavor across. I say go for it! I have done more swearing since Trump came on the scene than I have in the 50 years before. It keeps me sane!

Agenda 47 is just a watered-down version of Project 2025. They know their cult doesn't read or fact-check, so the new ones won't have any idea what's really in Project 2025/Agenda 47. Ever seen reporters interview those clowns? It's pathetic. The quiet members of that movement don't want to give their hand away any more than they already have. It's all about being a Christian Nationalist which is code word for White Supremacist. More than scaring me, it pisses me off. They'll never take this country without a fight. Too many different kinds of people in the U.S. This is OUR country, not theirs.

Let’s be constantly mindful that we are playing offense now. While Trump and his minions, including Roberts of the Heritage Fndn and the currently incarcerated Bannon of the War Room threaten American citizens with bloodshed and bloodbath if we don’t knuckle under on Day One, we must blow right through their pathetic and dangerous rhetoric and send the whole Maga crowd packing. Stay psyched!

Kamala has rekindled hope in so many places and in the hearts of so many people, all across the country. She will win in a landslide, in numbers too big to rig and too real to steal. My only concern is the possible violent MAGA response. Let’s be prepared.

Exactly why Biden needs to be fully active in the W.H. until the moment Kamala has been sworn in so he can active the National Guard in the weeks leading up to the vote certification as well as keeping the FBI engaged in whatever undercover they may be doing to keep an ear to the ground for groups and individuals planning to be Patriots and usurp the will of the people.

(an aside here. I'd really like to see the swearing in be done on a copy of the Constitution, since it's the Constitution elected officials, servicemen/women are swearing to protect and defend; and since the Constitution contains the directive that church and state must remain separate, just end the oath with a simple "so help me."

Great idea! Follow it w recommendation to whomever makes decisions about swearing in’s

Expand full comment

That is a great thought about swearing in on the Constitution. On another note, it's a little scary to me when he keeps saying that he "doesn't need the votes"; "we have all the votes we need". What does that mean exactly and why doesn't anyone ask what it means? Marc Elias and his team are challenging every legal threat to voting rights so if local election officials "mess" with those, there are reprecussions. I would love to see POTUS use the immunity SCOTUS gave him before he leaves to secure voting rights, abortion and reproductive rights, and oh yes - rid the nation of the electoral college process. Popular vote wins!

Hi Ema...Great question about "doesn't need the votes"

I don't think I could explain it any easier...so check out this article and it describes the process of nominating an individual for a party's Presidential Candidate.

https://apnews.com/article/presidential-election-delegate-selection-process-primary-caucus-9720daa8d706a4afceaa2d939f59a1b9

The electoral college is an outdated and convoluted method of delegating people with a number of votes for each states' population (and harkens back to slave-holding states as well.)

(The following isn't exactly a "Schoolhouse rock" explanation, but it's as easy as a convoluted election process can be)

"She will win in a landslide, in numbers too big to rig and too real to steal."

Good phrasing!

My fear is that after Harris sweeps both the popular vote AND the Electoral College, Trump's people will file a bunch of frivolous lawsuits hoping to get their corrupt SCOTUS to twist the Constitution (once again) and overthrow the election for him in a 6-3 decision.

Energy and euphoria are great, but pay close attention to Scott's next-to-last paragraph, about how the mainstream media are spinning the opposition. Unsourced stories that begin with stuff like "Blue city police say . . ." This is how they helped drag President Biden down, and they'll do it to VP Harris too. We need to be calling them out whenever possible.

I agree with you. I’ve never been very fond of Kamala, but I think that it’s because I didn’t really hear much from her as VP. I wasn’t sure if I would be thrilled with her as a candidate. Boy was I wrong!! She came out running, and hard! I have a new sense of hope and admiration for her. She’s exactly what we needed.
