Dark Ages
Don’t think for one minute you have heard the last of Project 2025. Anything written by 110 extreme conservative groups and untold number of officials from the previous Trump administration is not going away.
Paul Dans who led this group to its dangerous blueprint for the next “Republican” administration left the Heritage Foundation. Project 2025 would drastically change America and is under attack by national columnists and commentators, Democrats and Republicans across the country.
Kevin Roberts, President of the Heritage Foundation said their policy work was done. That may be, but he left no doubt the work will continue. He stated, “Our collective efforts to build a personnel apparatus for policymakers at all levels – federal, state and local – will continue.”
Until now it appeared the focus was just on Washington. However, this comment should set off an alarm from city councils to governor’s offices. Remember it takes committed people to implement. They will not give up until all ideas in the 925-page document have been implemented.
Here are just a few examples of what to expect from Project 2025.
*BAN abortion and contraception nationwide.
*Weaponize the Department of Justice to go after political enemies.
*Strip millions of Americans of their healthcare coverage and privatize Medicare.
*Maintain a biblically based, social science-reinforced definition of marriage and family.
*Target Diversity, Equity and Inclusions (DEI) in higher education and government.
*Eliminate or reform dietary guidelines published by USDA for 40 years.
*Proposed large-scale immigration raids and deportations.
All of us need to get involved in the 2024 presidential election to keep our country from returning to the dark ages.
