Believe the Autocrat: He Means What He Says
From the New York Times, September 7, 2024:
Trump’s Bold Promises
Former President Donald J. Trump vowed to vastly reshape the federal bureaucracy on Saturday in a wide-ranging, often unfocused speech at a rally in Wisconsin.
He pledged to ultimately eliminate the Department of Education, redirect the efforts of the Justice Department, and fire civil servants charged with carrying out Biden administration policies that he disagreed with.
Concentrating Power in the White House
Many of the proposals in Mr. Trump’s speech align with plans reported by The New York Times to conduct a broad expansion of presidential power over government, and to effectively concentrate more authority within the White House, if he wins in November.
And many of his pledges dovetailed with the stated goals and proposals of Project 2025, an effort by a group of conservative organizations to develop policies for the next Republican president.
Understanding the Plan
Even the New York Times is now acknowledging what people on this site and elsewhere have been saying over and over again.
This is the plan. It’s his plan, and it will be implemented if he’s put back into office.
Think About the Future
People in this country need to think long and hard about what that means for any future they might imagine themselves living in. Not just their futures, but the futures of their children.
It is not pretty. It is not escapable. It is a horror, a blueprint for the destruction of this country.
Final Thoughts
Not sure what else I can say that hasn’t already been said.
