this nation began as an experiment in democracy, where power was no longer to be found in the hands of a sovereign theocratic ruler.with the SCOTUS immunity ruling earlier this week, one of the last guardrails against possible tyranny in this country has fallen. Trump’s own words of what he will do with a 2nd term aligned with his adoption of Project 2025, if elected, puts this country in grave threat of authoritarianism and theocracy.

i’ve practiced my patriotism today by reading up on Project 2025 and its danger to our democracy. it is my strong suggestion that each of you do the same.

Project 2025 is a policy agenda document created by The Heritage Foundation whose President, Kevin Roberts, said earlier this week, “We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” they wish for and are working toward a Christian Nationalist theocratic state with an authoritarian leader. there’s nothing Christ-like about this. Project 2025 is a 900+ page book with detailed plans for every aspect of our government, from agenda and policy to loyalist staffing and consolidation of power with the President, with goals of targeting political enemies (including protestors), immigrants, LGBTQ+ people, abortion/contraception, women’s use of abortion and conception along with those who provide or assist, through use of Homeland Security and military on civilians on domestic soil along with use of other agencies, and plans to get rid of the Dept. of Education. Project 2025 is public and you can access at project2025.org

Protect Democracy is pushing back and has made available their own document which breaks down the threats of Project 2025 clearly, with ways to respond. You can access at authoritarianplaybook2025.org

In addition, here are two recent articles outlining the threat:

i understand that this may be overwhelming, so read as you can with self-care in mind. however, we also must stay informed, so we can relate and act accordingly. 

may democracy prevail!
