'Essence of authoritarianism': Expert warns 'Project 2025' would create a Trump 'autocracy'

[martybegan]

No one is forcing me to get rid of my gas powered SUV or my 1/4 ton pickup

But they want to stop you from buying a new one in 2030, or making the efficiency standards so high that manufacturers can't make new ones without massive fines.

Deny that, bitch-breath.

They have laws on the books. You know that, right?

To ban my SUV and pickup??

For someone who doesn’t trust the government you sure want to use the force of government here

Except for massive taxation from government to pay for irresponsible ways.

To prevent you from buying a new one dipshit.

 

[Weatherman2020]

That is what MAGAs want. An end to US democracy and an authoritarian state headed by a strongman. Just listen to CPAC. It is all there.

Arrest your political opponents and charge them with crimes no one has ever been charged with to save Democracy!

Not yet. Some leftist states want to stop the possibility of buying a new one.

One State. California. In 2035 not 2030

The Heritage Foundation — a well-funded, influential far-right group in Washington, DC — has been quietly vetting tens of thousands of arch-conservative acolytes to staff up the federal government under the next Republican administration as part of its "Project 2025" presidential transition plan. One scholar of authoritarian movements around the globe is sounding the alarm over what that would mean should former President Donald Trump win a second term in the White House.

During a Saturday segment on MSNBC, New York University professor Ruth Ben-Ghiat told host Ali Velshi that Project 2025 would effectively transform American government from a meritocratic democracy to a regime resembling Vladimir Putin's Russia. She pointed to Heritage's calls to eliminate numerous government agencies that serve as checks on the executive branch as merely one example.

"The essence of authoritarianism is removing restraints on the leader and making him immune from prosecution by domesticating government," Ben-Ghiat said. "And so some of what Project 2025 proposes, like abolishing the DOJ and the FBI is designed for that end, to make it impossible to prosecute Trump and allow him to commit crimes with impunity."

Trump: I'll appoint Supreme Court justices to overturn Roe ...​

Oct 19, 2016 — Trump says he wants abortion legality to be decided by individual states, while Clinton vows to defend abortion rights.



Then they all lied about their intentions at their confirmation hearings.

After conservatives consolidated their supermajority on the Supreme Court with Neil M. Gorsuch, Brett M. Kavanaugh and Amy Coney Barrett, many legal experts thought it all but certain that Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark decision protecting a person’s right to an abortion, was doomed to fall.

Yet statements made by the trio of justices during their respective confirmation hearings suggested that they would, if confirmed, honor precedent or not reconsider matters thought to be so-called settled law (and Roe is frequently cited as such).

You think the left would do any different? That’s my point, it’s a game, it sucks, but it’s the game we have..where scotus judges are appointed based on their political leanings, not necessarily their fealty to the law.

Been that way for awhile now

A Trump autocracy? Just now much longer do you expect HIM to have all his marbles or still be on this side of the ground?
