Its a pity I don't believe in Hell, because I would be happy if they were all to burn in it.

Texas will have to do.

I think you know we are dealing with somebody who just plain does not like the US.

Umm...yeah. I kind of noticed that.

I think you know we are dealing with somebody who just plain does not like the US.

Or maybe it is a person who has gathered that the US has a political system that isn't all it's touted out to be despite their international posturing.

This part is darkly comic:

... more than 400 scholars and policy experts from across the conservative movement

Their kind aren't smart enough to be experts or scholars.

Their kind aren't smart enough to be experts or scholars.

Senator Richard Shelby, when Trump nominated one of them for the Federal Reserve Board:

I've always said they could use diversity, you don’t need to be a Nobel laureate or University of Chicago professor.

Some of the authors are fairly well known, though not for their expertise or scholarship. Some might say they are notoriously well known.

The GOP Has a Master Plan to Criminalize Being Trans

https://www.damemagazine.com/2023/08/14/the-gop-has-a-master-plan-to-criminalize-being-trans/

Project 2025 is a coalition of prominent conservative organizations that includes the Claremont Institute, Alliance Defending Freedom, Family Research Council, Hillsdale College, Heritage Foundation, Freedom Works, American Legislative Exchange Council, American Principles Project, and dozens of others. The organization’s goal is to lay out a “first 180 days” agenda for the next administration, and to recruit conservatives to fill positions within the federal government appointed by the executive branch.

The playbook. https://thf_media.s3.amazonaws.com/project2025/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf

This sounds risky, unless they don't mind their bible and other religious writings being targeted.

This part sounds very alarming.

“The Mandate for Leadership” is a 920-page document that details how the next Republican administration will implement radical and sweeping changes to the entirety of government. This blueprint assumes that the next president will be able to rule by fiat under the unitary executive theory (which posits that the president has the power to control the entire federal executive branch). It is also based on the premise that the next president will implement Schedule F, which allows the president to fire any federal employee who has policy-making authority, and replace them with a presidential appointee who is not voted on in the Senate.

Conservative groups draw up plan to replace the US government with Trump's vision

Conservative groups draw up plan to dismantle the US government and replace it with Trump’s vision As if Trump actually has a vision except his pathologic narcissism. Which says a lot about these idiots.

If this can go under any existing thread by all means someone suggest where. I couldn't find a good match. Somewhere I think I saw something about the "2025 project." Maybe it's the white supremacy movement's last stand.

This is some scary ****.

WASHINGTON (AP) — With more than a year to go before the 2024 election, a constellation of conservative organizations is preparing for a possible second White House term for Donald Trump, recruiting thousands of Americans to come to Washington on a mission to dismantle the federal government and replace it with a vision closer to his own.

Led by the long-established Heritage Foundation think tank and fueled by former Trump administration officials, the far-reaching effort is essentially a government-in-waiting for the former president’s return — or any candidate who aligns with their ideals and can defeat President Joe Biden in 2024.

Waiting for Jesus to return?

With a nearly 1,000-page “Project 2025” handbook and an “army” of Americans, the idea is to have the civic infrastructure in place on Day One to commandeer, reshape and do away with what Republicans deride as the “deep state” bureaucracy, in part by firing as many as 50,000 federal workers.

Of course I'd be a tad more frightened if they weren't going to piss 50K federal workers off in the process.
This is nuts.

“We need to flood the zone with conservatives,” said Paul Dans, director of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project and a former Trump administration official who speaks with historical flourish about the undertaking.

“This is a clarion call to come to Washington,” he said. “People need to lay down their tools, and step aside from their professional life and say, ‘This is my lifetime moment to serve.’”

Did I mention this was nuts?

I know The Heritage Foundation is a right wing think tank. But this looks like the Trump cult took them over.

What am I missing here?

 

[The Great Zaganza]

With probably no exception, conservative think tanks are there to justify already decided policy, not to research best possible policies.

That makes 3.

I see mine was already merged. I swear I looked for an existing thread but missed 2 of them apparently.
