Frivolous indictments to intimidate critics of the Fascist White House.  

Threats to critics and military 

This graphic below sadly summarizes many aspects of the plan.

When we first saw this graphic the writer thought it was too inflammatory and not accurate.  Events since January 2025 show it is too mild.

Project 2025 is guiding the actions of the White House.  Fraud occurred because candidate Trump repeatedly distanced himself from Project 2025.  Yet Project 2025 is core to his actions.  Voters did not vote for this.

Project 2025 is a White Christian Nationalist plan to end democracy, destroy our economy, and make the rich and corporations richer and more powerful, while sickening, killing, controlling, silencing, and diminishing the lives of all other Americans.  

Protections are being gutted, illegally, for clean air, clean water, biota, all life on earth, people of color, lgbtq, women, religious persons except for a small magafied subgroup, people with disabilities, the elderly, children, people from other countries, immigrants, legal residents, refugees, veterans, and many more.  Rights from constitution no longer seem to be extended to critics, to democrats, judges, the press, immigrants, or lawmakers.

Specific Policy Proposals:

Project 2025 contains a vast array of policy recommendations across numerous areas, including:

• Economy: Cutting taxes, particularly for corporations, and clearly gutting America's already limited social safety net programs.
• Reproductive Rights: Restricting abortion access and potentially limiting access to contraception.
• Education: Promoting school choice, limiting federal funding for public education, and reducing regulations related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI).
• Immigration: Facilitating mass deportations and targeting undocumented immigrants.
• Environmental Policy: Reducing climate change mitigation efforts and promoting fossil fuel production.
• Healthcare: Pushing for increased privatization of healthcare and potentially limiting access to certain services.
• Civil Rights: Undermining civil rights protections and potentially allowing for increased discrimination based on gender identity and other factors. 

Controversy and Concerns:

Critics of Project 2025 argue that its proposals are authoritarian, threaten democracy, and would dismantle fundamental rights and freedoms. Concerns have been raised about the potential for politicization of the civil service and the erosion of checks and balances. The ACLU, for example, is actively working to combat Project 2025 and defend the rights of all people nationwide.

From AI

Fascism is expressed and maintained through a combination of key characteristics and tactics aimed at consolidating power and controlling the populace. 

Expression of Fascism:

• Authoritarian Leadership: Fascism is characterized by a strong, centralized leader who is often portrayed as infallible and above criticism. This charismatic figure embodies the will of the nation and wields absolute authority. CULT-LIKE.
• Extreme Nationalism: Fascists prioritize the nation above all else, promoting a sense of national superiority and unity, often emphasizing shared ethnicity, culture, or race. This can lead to xenophobia and the demonization of outsiders.
• Militarism and Violence: Fascist regimes glorify war and military values, seeing them as essential for national strength and renewal. They also use violence to suppress dissent and enforce their ideology.
• Rejection of Democracy and Liberalism: Fascism fundamentally rejects democratic principles like individual rights, freedom of expression, and competitive elections, viewing them as weak and divisive. They dismantle democratic institutions and suppress dissent.
• Scapegoating: Fascist regimes identify and demonize specific groups as enemies of the nation, using them to unify their followers and distract from systemic issues.
• Anti-Intellectualism: Fascists suppress independent thought and control information, often through censorship and the manipulation of language and history. 

Maintenance of Fascism:

• Cult of Personality: Fascist leaders cultivate a cult of personality, using propaganda and controlled media to promote their image as the savior of the nation.
• Control of Information: Strict censorship and control over the media ensure that the fascist narrative is the only one heard, suppressing any criticism or dissenting views.
• Suppression of Opposition: Fascist regimes dismantle opposing political parties and eliminate dissent through violence, intimidation, and the use of secret police.
• Militarization of Society: The military is given a prominent role in society, and military values are instilled in the population through youth organizations and paramilitary groups.
• Cronyism and Corruption: Fascist leaders surround themselves with loyal allies, often prioritizing loyalty over competence, leading to widespread corruption.
• Manipulation of Grievances: Fascist leaders exploit existing societal grievances, such as economic hardship or political instability, to gain support and justify their actions.
• Propaganda and Rallies: Mass rallies and propaganda are used to generate enthusiasm for the regime and reinforce its ideology, creating a sense of collective identity and purpose.
• Indoctrination of Youth: Education and youth organizations are used to indoctrinate young people with fascist ideology and prepare them for military service and other roles that serve the state. 

These characteristics and tactics work together to create a centralized, authoritarian regime that controls all aspects of society and suppresses any challenge to its authority.
