I am and hope to always be the type of person who never jumps to a conclusion on important matters without knowing the facts. To that end, I felt like I didn't know enough about what Project 2025 is to make an informed decision about whether I should or should not agree with it. So, I went to the website ( https://www.project2025.org/ ) and read (and am still reading). I encourage all of you to do the same!! Don't depend on what someone else tells you about it, not the news, your friends, your family, or anyone else. Go and look for yourself. You NEED to know!! I say this not just to Americans, but to people in other countries as well so that you can be clear about what the Project is, as well as what it plans to do.
I'm not here to sway anyone's opinion. I will just say that this quote from the website's policy page sent chills through me: "Our goal is to assemble an army of aligned, vetted, trained, and prepared conservatives to go to work on Day One to deconstruct the Administrative State."
As someone who loves America (flaws and all), that statement frightens me. It wouldn't matter if the ones saying that were liberals, I would oppose this with every ounce of my being. It's my strong opinion that "deconstruct the Administrative State" to install "aligned" people in every significant decision-making position equates to authoritarianism! This country has a lot of things wrong with it, a ton of improvements that need to be made, corrections, apologies, and work to do, but democracy is one thing it has right. You can't just toss it aside just cause it's not going the way you want it to go in the moment. That is how a spoiled child behaves.
This whole thing is scary and infuriating all at the same time.
