Project 2025 Update: Big Plan for Trump to Win and Then Bye, Bye American Pie

Big rightwing plan for Trump 2024 and beyond

Trump’s playbook for a second term in office and worse if he gains USSC “absolute immunity” for all the indictments now pending against him.

We should all be concerned, worried, and yes even afraid of a second Trump term in office. That is discussed in simple and raw terms from THE DAILY BEAST in this their article headline:

“Here’s What Right-Wing Power Brokers Want Trump to Do in His Second Term”

Project 2025 is a 900-page document led by the conservative advocacy group The Heritage Foundation and 80 right-wing organizations. It outlines what they’d like a President Trump, or any Republican president, to accomplish in his first 180 days.

Trump’s current campaign revolves around him settling scores with political adversaries, grappling with 91 legal challenges, and even as he hopes for an economic downturn that could favor his return to power.

Project 2025’s goal is to recruit thousands of conservatives to Washington, D.C. who pledge their loyalty to Trump and replace existing federal government workers (Schedule F employees) that he and they believe are part of the “deep state” and then to enact a radical Republican agenda.

For example, their strategy is straight from a Fox News chyron.

The first few pages of the document stress the vast reaches of “cultural Marxism” and the importance of deleting terms like Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) and gender equity from any piece of federal legislation that exists.

The proposed agenda is comprehensive and advocates:

1. The privatization of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).

2. The weakening of protections against foreign election interference.

3. A reduction in visas for international students.

4. The dismantling of abortion protections by encompassing aggressive measures such as: (a) restricting access to contraception, (b) leveraging the CDC for heightened abortion surveillance and data collection, and (c) revoking DOD policy prohibiting abortion travel funding.

Trump's utter arrogance is the most-troubling

Concerning the call to weaken protections against foreign election interference, Project 2025 suggests ending the involvement of the United States Cyber Command (USCYBERCOM) to strengthen U.S. election protection against foreign interference. 

FYI: USCYBERCOM is one of the branches of DOD and is the nation’s first line of defense in cyberspace. Project 2025 believes that the DOD is being used as a tool for political purposes.

One of the many flaws in Project 2025’s strategy lies in its disregard for the genuine threat of foreign interference in American elections.

Example how USCYBERCOM works: In 2020, Iranian hackers breached a municipal government reporting system that publishes election results. 

They were thwarted by USCYBERCOM. 

However, the Iranian hackers were still able to obtain confidential voter data, deploying misleading emails to spread misinformation, and to manipulate election results.

Now, by dismissing the threats from the 2020 election, Project 2025’s election plan jeopardizes our democracy and undermines the legitimacy of election results with this clenched fist pose:

His most-popular pose (iron-fist ruler trademark)

My 2 Cents: Yes, above is what rightwing and well-financed power brokers want for a second Trump term as he and they plan to dismantle our time-tested 247 year-old democracy and replacing it with some sort of Trumpism or whatever else they choose to call it.

It’s all part of Trump’s grand revenge campaign plan outlined above in stark detail. This is NOT hyperbole, not one bit. It’s raw, ugly, and mostly in Trump’s own words, actions, deeds, and proposals.

Get ready for the end of time, or better yet – help get out the vote to stop it in its tracks over the next 295 days and finalize it on November 5, 2024 – once again proving that “We the People” have spoken clearly and forcefully with the most-power weapon of all: Our right to vote in a free, fair, safe, and secure election.

Bye, Bye American Pie truly says what it all means (in my view):

“American Pie” is a memorable snapshot of a generation and a poignant reminder of how much things can change in a relatively short period of time. And, that is what Project 2025 seeks for Trump in this historical time in our lives.

That is not how America works and no changes by Trump or any other autocrat wannabe, or a “one-day dictator” will ever have the power to change that. 

I hope you agree.

Thanks for stopping by.
