MAGA hates you. They really hate you.
Maybe the problem with getting people to understand the threat posed by Donald Trump, by MAGA, and by Project 2025 is that it has no face.
In the wake of the Supreme Court making the president a de facto king, Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts just gave it one. Yes, the “radical left” is the enemy MAGA will defeat “in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” And if we resist?
The Biden-Harris campaign put a short clip on social media.
Brian Beutler, responds, “Incredible to me that this stuff only surfaces because the Biden campaign and media watchdog types tweet it out. To the extent it figures into campaign coverage at all (even pre-debate) it’s just ho-hum, in passing, nbd, etc.”
Actress Taraji P. Henson made a plea for paying attention during the BET Awards on Sunday. “The Project 2025 plan is not a game. Look it up!”
No, it’s not a game, confirms Nicole Wallace. The mission statement for 2025 is “a full-scale reimagining of our entire system of government and who runs it … in Donald Trump’s image.”
Axios:
The big picture: Trump promises an unabashedly imperial presidency — one that would turn the Justice Department against critics, deport millions of people in the U.S. illegally, slap 10% tariffs on thousands of products, and fire perhaps tens of thousands of government staff deemed insufficiently loyal.
- He’d stretch the powers of the presidency in ways not seen in our lifetime. He says this consistently and clearly — so it’s not conjecture.
As Democrats second-guess themselves and tear out their hair over Joe Biden’s debate performance, foreign adversaries and MAGA Republicans must be gleeful. Ruth Ben-Ghiat (“Stongmen”) reminds Twitter how autocrats think, “To ensure victory, it is optimal for democratic and progressive forces to be divided close to the election. They’ll have plenty of time to be together in jail.”
Piece of cake, thinks Kevin Roberts.
The Maga movement hates you. They really hate you.
The tweet below may or may not be trolling from a “Heritage American,” home-schooling, Mises Institute reactionary, but these days it’s best to believe white men like this one mean what they write:
“Middle Americans are the ones that prioritize the maintenance of their way of life, desire to be left alone by the coastal elites, and identify much more with memories of folk and kin than with postwar America as an ideological engine of world transformation. They understand instinctually that America was a place and a people, an inherited social order, not a propositional nation.”
Despite the flowery language in the Declaration, no, our is not an egalitarian nation dedicated to the proposition that “all men are created equal.” These guys reject the country’s founding principles.
“We’re coming for the Civil Rights Act next, then the New Deal. We’re gonna repeal the 20th century.”
Believe them the first time. Neo-feudalism, women barefoot and pregnant, minorities in their place, and LGBTQ+ types back in the closet, that’s the ticket. They want to rule.
Act like your very freedoms are at stake, because they are.
