Have you heard of Project 2025?

A Trump presidency would be tragic for this country, but it would be interesting to watch it unfold.

Some think the damage would damage to the government, the economy, and people's lives would be irreparable. If things go as they plan; then yes on the micro level.

Don't tell me they won't get the necessary cooperation from Congress and the Courts. They have planned for that.

They  plan to take over the executive branch and eliminate some departments. That's where they might be biting off more than they can chew.

I have to think they would like need grass roots cooperation of the military and law enforcement

Their plan for Operation Wet Back part 2 is totally insane. There is a reason we have deportation hearings.

Anyone who looks remotely Latino or Middle Eastern should be very concerned, including citizens and permanent residents.

At some point, if Trump was actually able to identify say, 3 million illegals, and order them deported - he would actually need the manpower to make that happen, and that doesn't exist. If they wanted to hire more manpower, the money doesn't exist. And by crashing the economy in trying to do so, would make the money issue even more acute.

Scale matters.

That isn't true, but it is a different subject. Trump and his MAGA allies believe his Presidency failed to achieve its goals. That is the reason for Project 2025.

They believe it failed not only because Congress and the Courts were against him, but also many of his of own advisors and most of the executive branch.

The plan is to ignore the congress and the courts, and rule as a unitary executive. That would involve a major overhaul of the executive branch to ensure internal loyalty.

The plan is hit the ground running and have things operational before anyone knows what hit them.

The left is complicit in this because they have become excessively concerned with things like identity politics and social diversity or nonsense like pronouns and speech codes. They have ethnic, social, and racial diversity, but no diversity of views.
Jackasses like Trump say things the left says you can't say and that has a sort of juvenile appeal.

https://chicago.suntimes.com/the-watchdogs/2024/06/07/brandon-johnson-hair-care-makeup-campaign-spending-palatine

Mayor’s pricey hair and makeup: In one year, Brandon Johnson's campaign has spent $30K on grooming
Johnson is “mayor 24-7,” a spokesman says. “Appearances matter.” Most of his spending went to a South Side makeup artist, and a West Side barbershop was paid $4,000.

A true "man of the people." He's some "progressive"...

Now he has something in common with Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders.

As in laughable because it is predictable what would happen when he left the border open and all the other bullshit you left Chicago due to yet still support.

I didn’t want to leave Chicago.

"He commented more than once that, 'You know, Hitler did some good things, too,'" Kelly recalled to The Times. Kelly said he would usually quash the conversation by saying "nothing (Hitler) did, you could argue, was good," but that Trump would occasionally bring up the topic again.

But, for your child, in the end you did. Which is commendable.

Have you heard of Project 2021-2025 ?

A Biden presidency would be tragic for this country, as evidenced by abysmal approval ratings.

Don't tell me they won't get the necessary cooperation from Congress and the Courts. They have planned for that.

They plan to take over the executive branch and weaponize some departments. That's where they might be biting off more than they can chew.

I have to think they would like to incorporate DEI into the military and defund law enforcement.

Their plan for Operation Wet Back part 2 is totally insane. There is a reason we have borders and deportation hearings.

Anyone who looks remotely Latino or Middle Eastern should be very concerned, including citizens and permanent residents. Those on the lower tiers of socio-economic status will be hurt most by inflation, loss of employment opportunities and urban crime.

And 6 out of 10 disagree with Biden Operation Wetback.

Inflation and immigration.

Both greatly exaggerated.
The rest is right wing is pretty much right wing propaganda.

Republicans are currently better spinning and scaring people, yet Trump's approval isn't much better than sleepy Joe's.

Biden is politically center right, and by the numbers has done a solid job.

Cognitively, he has the stutter, but is more coherent than Trump.

Biden does have trouble keeping the chronology of past events straight when speaking off the cuff. That happens when we get older.

Joe is not Mr. Right, but he is Mr. Right Now.

Trump represents  the alt - right, ultra-nationalist, populist wing of the Republicans. He / they admit he failed his first time around and have an actual plan, not a parody, to correct that.

I don't believe they can succeed in extralegally ejecting 15 million allegedly illegals, but I believe they will try and it could get ugly.

That is only part of their plan.

“His speeches are all loaded with stuff he’s going to do,” he says. “It may not be high rhetoric, but substance-wise it’s there, and people should understand these things are being worked on and developed. And those policies will be implemented.” -- Steve Bannon


"Members of the traditional Republican ruling class have either accepted him as their standard-bearer or they have been sidelined. They are in a much weaker position to set the same kinds of institutional and policy guardrails around a second Trump administration compared with the first."

...
   
"One of Trump’s top goals is to purge the civil service of what he calls “rogue bureaucrats” — a dramatic culling of the federal government and the legal system intended to remove individuals who are unsympathetic to him and his agenda. [Stephen] Miller would be expected to play a big hand in this along with Matt Whitaker
...
Miller is also the architect of Trump’s plans to close down the US border with Mexico, and round up undocumented immigrants in the US to deport them back to their home countries, using the military if necessary to detain them

...

On trade, Trump plans to renew his trade wars — floating the idea of introducing a 10 per cent across-the-board tariff on imported goods, a 60 per cent tariff on Chinese goods, as well as a separate levy ...
