The language of the linked article by Mr Barrington Salmon may seem to veer into conspiracy territory at times…if it wasn’t so well-documented. At the risk of “yelling into a echo chamber”…
“The actions of liberal politicians in Washington have created a desperate need and unique opportunity for conservatives to start undoing the damage the Left has wrought and build a better country for all Americans in 2025,” the Project 2025 manifesto said. “It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on day one of the next conservative administration.”
Meyerson, editor-at-large at The American Prospect, said far-right conservatives and The Heritage Foundation have an extensive enemies’ list that includes “welfare recipients, lazy and liberal civil servants, anti-business regulators, environmentalists, and union bosses, “scientists, woke bureaucrats, woke educators, woke diplomats, woke generals and admirals, woke G-men, and anyone who doesn’t indulge the next Republican president’s every whim (an adaptation to the likelihood of a Trump nomination),” in the commentary titled, “The Far Right Has a Plan to Remake America. They Even Wrote It Down.”
America is at an inflection point, vacillating on a knife’s edge because of Trump, who has tapped into a deep reservoir of grievance, hatred and resentment plans that will be fully unleashed in a second term. Trump’s incendiary rhetoric – mirroring Hitler and Mussolini – is convincing observers that he’s a fascist, to add to his authoritarian bent.

There is no more neutrality in the world. You either have to be part of the solution, or you’re going to be part of the problem.
Vote against this but remember to have a plan b that doesn’t involve living the US.
When Putin took over Russia and turned it into him getting 99% of the votes every election, most people of Russia did not leave. When Putin cracked down on journalists, free speech, and gay/queer people, hell even his own oligarchs aren’t safe next to a Russian window, most people of Russia did not leave. When Russia invaded Ukraine, the first and second time, most people of Russia did not leave.
Have Russians bought the Kremlin propaganda hook, line and sinker? What does it take for a citizen to say enough is enough before they leave their country? Do Russians lack the means to afford the ability to leave their homeland, potentially forever from friends, and generations of families? Unfortunately, most people whether it’s Russia or the US, simply do not have the means, the finances, the connections, or the resources to leave. A minority of us will have access to this luxury, but for a majority of us, we are simply fucking stuck. And in case it’s not clear, I do not support Russia, I hope the Putin regime collapses sooner than later.
Funny thing is Republican states are more dependent on the Federal Government than Democrat states. So they are going to stop themselves? https://www.governing.com/finance/are-republican-states-more-federally-dependent.html
Well not those people of course, those are the good people.
What they meant was brown/gay people. And that’s just to start with.
I believe that people will do the right thing and vote against fascism and for democracy. There is no plan b for me.
Also, as far as emigration is concerned, it is important to remember that dictatorships like Russia, China, and North Korea are all waiting for a second Trump term to invade NATO members of Europe, Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific, and South Korea respectively. Regions of the world that seem safe now may soon be at war.
This is not intended to discourage anyone from moving. If you have a safe place to go, don’t let me stop you. But it’s important to remember that a second Trump term will have wide reaching consequences beyond the United States.
How can you vote against something that has already been getting enacted for the last few presidential terms. This shift started with Bill Clinton, it’s just until recently it got a name.
You vote Biden and not Trump. You then keep working to make the system and world better.
Please explain. What exactly has been enacted? A rightwing authoritarian state?
What? Again, please explain. What “shift” started with Clinton? What is this name of which you speak?
Go back about 30 years and research DLC and 3rd way democrats. The entire shift to the right started with Bill Clinton at that point.
It’s always been a right-wing authoritarian state, when Trump was locking up protesters during the George Floyd protests, Democrats correctly called him out for it. But were strangely silent while protesters protesting against mass genocide in Gaza are also getting arrested, losing their jobs, while ignoring that he further funded Israel and completely bypassed Congress to get them more weapons. Sounds very authoritarian to me.
