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.

    I think people need to realize this is more prevalent within the conservative religious circles than they realize. Beyond the extremes of the rapture that’s been coming any day for decades, they want set their world right once and for all.

    When they throw around terms like battleready there’s a outcome where they get to kick in the heads of those they don’t like and don’t want to exist without due process.

    They are going to end all that is wrong around them with brute force and finally do what those corrupt politicians, justices, police, and government workers won’t do.

    They want to bypass anything that complicates their mob punishment. Trump keeps feeding these types as it’s useful for him to have them rattled and ready to go. The group think will not allow those stung by him to speak their truths against him. It’s not allowed.

    He is the messiah chosen by God. You know the thrice married, adulterer with porn stars while the wives were pregnant role model the religious right have been looking for all this time.

    Thank God they found him to help God save the day. God the almighty and all powerful needs a orange colored grifter loser to help God out on the mission.

    Now, please correct me if I am wrong, but as a non American, it seems funny to me that one of the points of gun ownership is/was in case of resisting a tyrannical government. And from where I am sitting, it sure does look like angry orange man is getting away with a lot of things that us non orange people would definitely be locked away for.

    It seems to me that the judicial system over there is compromised and that’s the beginning of the slippery slope.

      Yeah, that’s what people say. But those people also tend to worship cops. The fact is that they can’t wait to help the cops murder their “radical left” (and immigrant) neighbors.

      As shitty as that is, and it is shitty, their aren’t enough people raking the threat seriously. And I don’t mean by voting harder for Joe, I mean preparing to protect themselves and their neighbors.
