I've been
somewhat restrained lately with my anti-Trump rants. I hate the guy,
plain and simple, and that is not a word I bandy about. I hate his
unethical business practices, the absence of taking responsibility
for his actions, and his constant blatant lying. I am not alone, of
course.
I've chased off about a thousand people
from my friends list, presumably all Trump stupporters, and those
left either agree with me or respect my opinions if they disagree.
No, I have nothing more to add to the
Trump train wreck. I am more interested in how he will run his
presidential campaign and what he will do if re-elected. And that, my
friends, is a distinct possibility we have to face. For some strange,
bizarre reason, Joe Biden has decided that he needs four more years.
He should have stepped aside and let someone younger run, but he
didn't. So Bob's your uncle.
Trump and Project 2025 (a right-wing
think tank) are figuring out how to shove their brand of conservatism
down our collective throats. Project 2025 intends to redesign our
republic. Trump is intent on revenge.
First up, naturally, is pardoning
himself. That's a given. It should never be allowed constitutionally,
but our forefathers never considered such a thing as possible. Next,
pardons for all of the January 6th traitors. That's a given too.
Then he will set his sights on his
enemies, Jack Smith being at the top of his list. Trump has been
planning a truly weaponized Department of Justice including an
"Office of Election Integrity" that will investigate
elections Republicans lost and look for those "11,780 votes",
if you know what I mean.
Trump's motives are all retaliatory to
punish anyone who dared to oppose him or punish him for his crimes.
His presidency will be one of intimidation and fear. He will purge
our government of anyone who disagrees with him. He will undo the
work of grand juries.
Trump is working closely with right
wing think tanks such as America First Legal, Project 2025, and the
Center for Renewing America. It is important to take these
organizations seriously, and they are happy to tell you what their
agenda is.
The Project for a New American Century
laid out plans for the invasion of Iraq in the 1990s to protect US
oil interests. Signatory members of the PNAC such as Dick Cheney,
Alan Wolfowitz, John Bolton, and Donald Rumsfeld went on to serve in
George Bush's administration and, of course, we invaded Iraq under
the false pretense of WMDs. WMDs that did not exist, and the Bush
administration knew they didn't exist. But that was the plan of the
PNAC.
It all sounds like a bad movie, doesn't
it?
Pay attention to the political
machinery behind the curtain. Both the Trump and DeSantis campaigns
are fascist movements, and they are telling you exactly what their
political goals are. Only Joe Biden and our Constitution presently
stands between us and them.
