Project 2025 (and its auxiliary Trump’s “Agenda 47”) are a plan by right-wing extremists and other authoritarians to end America’s multiracial democracy and to replace it with a White Christian nationalist plutocracy.

A conspiracy is a plan by two or more people operating in private to advance their interests and goals above those of some other person(s) — or in this context the American people. Project 2025 is not a conspiracyThese plans are exhaustively detailed in a book titled “Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise” and are regularly discussed at conferences, in interviews, and in other public forums. Project 2025 and its related plans, like Agenda 47, were not hatched overnight. As author and journalist Anne Nelson and other experts have been extensively documenting, Project 2025 and the other right-wing extremists’ and neofascists’ plans to end America’s multiracial democracy have been years and decades in development

    The argument that Hillary is responsible for Trump is pretty ridiculous.

    Yes, but no. Her campaign and the DNC actively worked to elevate Trump in hopes that he’d be unelectable so that they wouldn’t have to compromise with the Left. The “pied piper” tactic that the Dems are now continually using is extremely high risk but they would rather see fascism than leftward movement.
