Idiots like you can’t distinguish between Agenda 47 and Project 45.

They aren’t the same regardless of how hard you cry, dumfuk.

^ not a spec of truth in your paranoid delusional efforts.

Reality is much less offensive. Reality recognizes that Agenda 47 is designed with the Constitution in mind for the purpose of getting us all back to it.

As item after item of Project 2025 is completed, they'll keep denying it.

That's a pretty freakin' safe bet.

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."

Sounds ominous to me! What do you think?

If Ruth Ben-Ghiat thinks Project 2025, which Trump had/has nothing to do with but has far more good ideas than bad in it promotes anything resembling Putin's Russia. . .

. . .if she thinks the current woke DEI obsessed government is a 'meritocratic democracy'. . .

she had never read Project 2025, paid absolutely no attention to President Trump's first term in office, and has no clue what meritocracy is. She is absolutely no expert but is just promoting herself to sell more books.
