Project 2025 is a fever dream wish list of the Heritage Foundation. Some of the things on it will get implemented ... Eliminating the traditional - but not statutorily required - independents of DOJ and the law enforcement agencies is certainly something he has a keen interest in doing, with or without Heritage.

You say that like it's no big deal. So Trump will just weaponize the DOJ, using it to harass and potentially jail his political enemies. And implementing schedule F is just a political choice, like taxation and foreign policy.

No. Those are huge steps away from democracy towards autocracy and fascism. Combine that with the uncertainty resulting from the recent USSC decision on Presidential immunity, and we could end up with some serious damage done to the country. It's no longer "all men are created equal." It becomes George Orwell's "some are more equal than others."

Once you go down that path, its very hard to reverse course.
