albaby1: But again....this is why Democrats won't be able to run an effective "Project 2025" campaign against Trump.

Seriously?

Here's what his running mate, J.D. Vance, said before Trump announced he was running: “I think Trump is going to run again in 2024. I think that what Trump should do, if I was giving him one piece of advice: Fire every single midlevel bureaucrat, every civil servant in the administrative state, replace them with our people.’”

Right there in ‘Project 2025’ is that very proposal, to reclassify hundreds of federal bureaucrats as political appointees, and switch them out with more ideologically aligned replacements in the first hundred days of a second Trump presidency.

While tying Trump and Vance to Project 2025 may not be the best approach against them, it's still one that shouldn't be abandoned.

Vance has also said that Trump should ignore the courts, that when the courts stop you to “stand before the country, and say: ‘the chief justice has made his ruling. Now let him enforce it.’”

Trump himself is on record saying he would terminate the Constitution.

Now here in the Midwest where we live, that sure sounds like naked authoritarianism.

But then what else would one expect from the Trump-Vance-Putin ticket?
