    Of course it does.

    The broad point of Project 2025 is to eliminate anything and everything that provides any measurable benefit to the common people and/or in any way impedes the wealthy and the corporations doing absolutely whatever they want to do, no matter how much harm it might cause to people. That’s the exact reason that so much of it focuses on eliminating or at least neutering government agencies - the goal is to make it so that corporations and the wealthy few face no constraints and no consequences - so that they have free rein to rob and pillage and rape and destroy.

    And it’s not only the playbook Trimp will follow, but the reason that billionaires like Musk and Thiel are backing Trump. They aren’t really backing Trump per se - they’re backing Project 2025.

      Also notice the language. climate change is “alarmist” and a “hoax”. When you look at countries like Russia you can see that this kind of language can be easily turned into climate activist becoming “foreign agents” hurtung the US with “false news” and “missinformation”. Hence they clearly have to be arrested. Obviously this is down the line, but it is not hard to find right wing comments about killing, arresting and otherwise removing leftist.

      We already see that being talked about with “anti white racism” and the FBI supposed to be used to counter that, after the FBI would be palced directly under Trump, who is above the law as president. You get the picture.

      I was just wondering “why ignore climate change and censor any references to it? What’s the point?” You’ve answered that question quite nicely.

      those goals aren’t anything new from P25, conservatives have been doing that forever. What P25 is doing is laying out a specific plan to purge career govt staffers who have been somewhat protected from partisanship to this point.
