‘Project 2025’: Trump & Radical Right Wing Republicans Plan to turn the United States into a Fascist Dictatorship

 

 

 

Republicans want to end Democracy and turn the United States into a Fascist Dictatorship similar to Viktor Orbán’s Hungary and Putin’s Russia using plans outlined in ‘Project 2025’

Authoritarian expert breaks down dangers of Project 2025

Ruth Ben-Ghiat, Professor of history and scholar of authoritarianism, speaks to Ali Velshi about Project 2025’s plans to consolidate power if Trump wins the presidency in 2025, including who’s on their hypothetical list of pre-screened loyalists to join the Trump administration, and why their plan to abolish federal agencies is so uniquely dangerous to democracy.

 

Representative Gerry Connolly explains how Trump and his cronies intend to “terminate rules, regulations & articles, even those in the Constitution”, invoke the “Insurrection Act” & declare “Martial Law” to Quash Protests, use “Shock Troops” to take over the government, replace 50,000 Federal Employees with Trump loyalists, eliminate Freedom of Speech and shut down media outlets which have been critical of him.

Trump believes a President should have absolute “Presidential Immunity” to the extent he could order SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent and be immune to criminal prosecution. He’s promised to ‘root out’ those who he thinks are ‘communists, marxists and ‘the radical left’. This means anyone who opposes him.

Trump’s statements prove he intends to violate his Oath of Office, the United States Constitution and Citizens rights. Trump has proven to be a lawless pathological liar, narcissistic psychopath and a clear & present danger which the RNC is recklessly unleashing onto the American public by enabling, sponsoring and promoting on they’re ticket.

Hard-Right Republicans want to replace democracy: Anti-Trump conservative

“Democracy is hard work and they want a shortcut to achieve their craven policy ends without doing the work,” Rick Wilson told Newsweek.

Per the above article: “Some on the far-right, including within the Republican Party, are seeking to “replace democracy” with a system that “they alone benefit from,” according to a leading anti-Trump conservative.

Rick Wilson, a former GOP media consultant who co-founded The Lincoln Project, a conservative campaign group opposed to Donald Trump, told Newsweek when asked why some conservatives have been sympathetic towards Vladimir Putin’s authoritarian regime.

They want to put the control of all the people in the hands of a government that reflects their own ideological bias. It’s easy to see why they would want to replace democracy with a system that allows that they alone benefit from.”

 

 

Trump says members of Jan. 6 Select Committee should go to jail

Under Republicans “Project 2025” plans, Trump could order his Attorney General to arrest and prosecute anyone for no reason at all. Trump even mentioned this in the above video saying if he had a political rival who was doing well and “beating me very badly I’d say go down and Indict them”. “That means that if I win and somebody wants to run against me, I call my attorney general, I say listen, indict him”.

Glen Beck asks Trump in the above video “if you’re president again, will you lock people up? The answer is you have no choice… because they’re doing it to us”.

This proves Trump is a lawless THUG who plans to “Lock Up” opponents out of spite and retribution if he gets back into the White House.

 

Trump team argues assassination of rivals is covered by presidential immunity

Trump believes he should have Presidential Immunity to do anything he wants. On Jan. 9, 2024, Trump’s legal team argued to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals that a President should be able to order SEAL Team Six to kill a political opponent and be immune to criminal prosecution.

 

Trump’s attorney argues to the Supreme Court that he should have the authority to have absolute immunity to do anything he wants, including having a political opponent murdered

 

Trump posted & stated on 11/11/2023; ”We pledge to you that we will root out the communists, Marxists, fascists and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country that lie and steal and cheat on elections”.

 

In response to outrage over Trump’s ‘vermin’ comment, his campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung stated about Trump opponents; “their entire existence will be crushed when President Trump returns to the White House.”

 

March 28, 2024 Steve Bannon stated: “After we’ve won, the Accountability Project’s going to start and it’s going to be thorough this time. It’s going to be they’re going to be in prison”.

 

Clip of Steve Bannon behaving like a TERRORIST saying; ‘we mock your fear, we want your fear’. We want you to be afraid because we are going to be coming after those who oppose Donald Trump and he will be imbued with authority to punish you.

 

Radical Right Winger Mike Davis, who Trump might make his Attorney General has stated he’d pardon all of the January 6 rioters, toss opponents in ‘the gulag’ and caging migrant kids would be glorious.

Below is the post Davis referenced in the above video about putting Professor of History, Ruth Ben-Ghiat in the “Gulag”. Her crime? Being critical of Trump and calling him out for his Autocrat, Authoritarian, Fascist behavior which she claims is similar to Hitler & Mussolini.

 

 

Donald Trump ally lists “potential targets” of investigation

Mike Davis, who has come under scrutiny from the Biden campaign, raised concerns over a new report about anti-Trump analysts.

Per the above article from 4/24/2024: “Mike Davis, an ally to former President Donald Trump, has listed several legal analysts as “potential targets” for investigation if Trump beats President Joe Biden in the November presidential election. According to the article, published Tuesday, the discussions occur weekly and allow the pundits to “intellectually stress-test” Trump’s legal arguments.

Davis highlighted a passage that listed several alleged regular participants—conservative commentator Bill Kristol, Harvard law professor Laurence Tribe, former White House counsel John Dean, conservative lawyer George Conway, MSNBC legal analyst Andrew Weissman, and CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin.

“Potential targets of the Trump 47 Justice Department’s criminal probe of Biden Democrats’ criminal conspiracy against Trump,” Davis wrote, responding to the article.

It remained unclear, however, what these legal analysts would specifically be investigated for, as the Politico article did not raise concerns about any crimes—only that the regular meetings could lead to “groupthink” or feed into concerns “damaging perceptions” about the media.

Davis came under scrutiny from the Biden campaign on Tuesday after it posted a clip to X of him being interviewed by conservative commentator Benny Johnson, discussing the possibility of being Trump’s attorney general.

During my three-week reign of terror as Trump acting attorney general, before I get chased out of town with my Trump pardon, I will reign hell on Washington, D.C.,” he said.

In a follow-up post, Davis wrote that he is “not going to serve as AG” and “can’t get confirmed.” He also disputed a separate post from the Biden campaign accusing him of saying there will be consequences for Americans who do not support Trump.

As Trump has faced legal investigations at federal, state and local levels, some Republicans have called for investigations into Democrats and the Biden administration, accusing the president of being behind Trump’s prosecutions, though these claims have not been proven.

Trump has described himself to his voters as their “retribution” on the campaign trail”.

 

Kash Patel, who may be a member of Trump’s lawless, fascist “administration of terror”, recently stated; “We will go out and find the conspirators, not just in government but in the media,” Patel said. “Yes, we’re going to come after the people in the media who lied about American citizens, who helped Joe Biden rig presidential elections — we’re going to come after you.

 

Trump Henchman Steve Bannon wants “SHOCK TROOPS” to take over the Government

 

On “The View” (Dec 6, 2023) co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who served as White House Director of Strategic Communications for Trump, claimed he wanted to have a member of his own staff ‘executed’ for leaking a story about him going to the bunker during the George Floyd protests.

Trump’s new autocratic plan exposed? Alarms over ‘radical second term’ plots

In a new report, The Associated Press details Donald Trump’s repeated “hints” of an “expanded role” for the military and the lack of “guardrails” to restrain him.

 

If a Republican wins the Presidential election in 2024, they’re planning to implement “Project 2025” which would give their leader the power of a Dictator.

As stated by wikipedia; “Project 2025 seeks to place the entire Executive Branch of the U.S. federal government under direct presidential control, eliminating the independence of the Department of Justice, Federal Communications Commission, Federal Trade Commission and other agencies. To reshape the Executive Branch of the U.S. federal government in the event of a Republican victory in the 2024 United States presidential election. Established in 2022, the project seeks to recruit thousands to come to Washington, D.C., to replace existing employees to restructure the Executive Branch of the federal government as to further the agenda and policies of Donald Trump. The plan would perform a quick takeover of the entire U.S. federal government under a maximalist version of the unitary executive theory – a theory proposing the president of the United States have absolute power of the executive branch – upon inauguration”.

“The development of the plan is led by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative U.S. think tank. It includes widespread changes across the entire government, particularly with regard to economic policy and the role of the federal government and federal agencies”. [en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025]

 

Trump is a Wanna-be Dictator who plans to become a Dictator if Elected in 2024.

Trump’s insane statements prove he intends to violate his Oath of Office, the United States Constitution and Citizens Rights on DAY ONE. His claiming he’s only going to be a Dictator for ONE DAY is BULLSHIT. Let’s not forget how Fact Checkers found Trump LIED over 30,000 times while President, so he has no credibility. He did everything possible to stay in office after he lost in 2020. If he gets back in the White House in 2024, he isn’t leaving… he’s made it clear; he wants to be a DICTATOR FOR LIFE. Under Trump’s rule, the United States could become like Russia where dissenters are arrested, locked up and executed.

Trump and allies plot revenge, DOJ control in second term

“Trump and his allies have begun mapping out specific plans for using the federal government to punish critics and opponents should he win a second term, with the former president naming individuals he wants to investigate or prosecute and his associates drafting plans to potentially invoke the Insurrection Act on his first day in office to allow him to deploy the military against civil demonstrations.

In private, Trump has told advisers and friends in recent months that he wants the Justice Department to investigate onetime officials and allies who have become critical of his time in office, including his former chief of staff, John F. Kelly, and former attorney general William P. Barr, as well as his ex-attorney Ty Cobb and former Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Gen. Mark A. Milley, according to people who have talked to him, who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to describe private conversations. Trump has also talked of prosecuting officials at the FBI and Justice Department, a person familiar with the matter said.

In public, Trump has vowed to appoint a special prosecutor to “go after” President Biden and his family. The former president has frequently made corruption accusations against them that are not supported by available evidence.

To facilitate Trump’s ability to direct Justice Department actions, his associates have been drafting plans to dispense with 50 years of policy and practice intended to shield criminal prosecutions from political considerations. Critics have called such ideas dangerous and unconstitutional.

“It would resemble a banana republic if people came into office and started going after their opponents” said Saikrishna Prakash, a constitutional law professor at the University of Virginia who studies executive power”. [source: washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/11/05/trump-revenge-second-term]

 

How Wannabe Dictators become REAL Dictators

 

In an interview with Andy Borowitz from The New Yorker on May 9, 2018, Trump Stated about the United States Constitution; “I’ve seen a lot of bad deals in my life, but this Constitution is a total mess. We need to tear it up and start over. The first thing we do when we pull out of the Constitution is get rid of two of those branches. He also called the First Amendment “something that really has to go. No one in his right mind would put something like that in a Constitution. Russia doesn’t have it. North Korea doesn’t have it. All the best countries don’t have it.”

 

On November 29 2023, Trump stated that he wants the ‘Federal Government to come down Hard on MSNBC’ for its criticism of him.

Trump & his crony’s statements prove he intends to violate his Oath of Office, the United States Constitution and Citizens Rights on DAY ONE. His claiming he’s only going to be a Dictator for ONE DAY is BS.
