Trump traumatizes Americans
Channel your fear and anger.
Constitutional Crisis in progress
How to expose the not-so-quiet project 2025 coup.
Find and fill the media deserts.
How to Notes I took from a FB live-stream with noted historian and Boston College professor, Heather Cox Richardson.
How did we get here?
Shutting down funding to create chaos and cause fear and upset is Steve Bannon’s firehose method of shocking people.
Or as Russell Vought is quoted as saying, “traumatize Americans” and take over.
My take: When 89 million eligible voters stay home. We get a dictator-wanna-bee.
When voter suppression is in full swing.
When ballot boxes are blown up at polling places.
When gerry-mandering is rampant.
Right wing extremists found their patsy.
Trump. Greedy. Wants to stay out of prison. Craves adulation. Chaos creator.
Not really playing with a full deck
Trump and his Project 2025 Agenda 47 creators, Russell Vought, JD Vance and others have started a direct attack on democracy.
No matter what lie trump may tell:
Trump does not have a mandate.
No majority.
No landslide. No super majority.
You may ask yourself, “Who the hell are they to Undermine Civil Service that has been law since 1883?”
Who the hell are they to dismantle the United States Constitution?
The Heritage Foundation architects of Project 2025/Agenda are following Viktor Orban’s Hungary playbook that overturned democracy in Hungary and created a Christian Nationalist state.
The goal: get rid of independent civil service, military, justice departments and arts funding, education, health and much more have it all report to trump.
All illegal.
The purge is have only trump loyalists in positions of power.
How do you want your tax dollars spent?
To what end?
According to chatGpt the word to Privatization appears numerous times in the 900+ page Project 2025 mandate for leadership tome.
The plan.
Destabilize America.
Privatization: pour your cash into the pockets of the bilking billionaires. Pay for tax cuts to billionaires make Americans poorer while paying more.
Create a Christian Nationalist government. Get rid of secular government.
You know – one of the reasons America was formed, separation of church and state and all.
Just so you know: 60% of Americans do NOT want advice from billionaires like Elon Musk deciding on how to run the country.
So what can you do?
Find the media deserts.
Flood with information that is not reaching people
What do you care deeply about?
Say, hey hang on a minute-push on these ideas.
Show up at elected officials offices.
Calls especially to Republicans but to all Senators to uphold their oath to protect the Constitution.
Remind lawmakers they passed a law in 2022 to prevent presidents from firing Inspectors’ General whose job it is to oversee ethical disbursement of funds for programs.
Think local. Focus at the state level.
Wisconsin. North Carolina.
And local and special elections get involved.
We cannot be silent.
Support and speak to the new news media outlets.
(Jim Acosta just moved to substack.)
Use social media. Think out of the box
Online news outlets.
Podcasts. Tiktok. You tube.
Join groups who are active don’t go it alone. There is strength in numbers
Here’s a few things to talk about.
How are MY tax dollars being spent?
You do not support the pardon of 1500 criminals who took part in an insurrection attacking police officers with tasers, flagpoles, chains? Say so loud and clear.
Extreme Tax breaks and privatization to subsidize billionaires.
Pick institutions you care about:
All of them are under siege by the administration and its right wing extremist enablers.
Did you know the OAS is the world’s oldest organization to implement democracy, peace and human rights.
What about the Civil Service?
Do you really want our civil service that started in 1883 to report to trump and only trum
Non-partisan civilian employees who work for federal state and local governments.
Stopped funding to:
Police. Fire-fighters.
Department of defense now led by an accused rapist and known alcoholic loyal to trump.
the Judiciary?.
Medicaid where over 72 million people are enrolled especially senior citizens in nursing homes and low income families.
Civilians who Protect national security, national parks monitor human rights.
Do you care about:
National Weather service?
The arts?
PBS and NPR?
Libraries?
Museums?
Cancer research?
Child healthcare?
Education?
The environment?
Trump pulled America out of the Paris Accords.
Time to take back the conversation.
change the narrative call them out.
Take the power from a dictator as his league of Heritage Foundation right wing extremists are pushing full speed ahead. The Project 2025 creators are out to destroy our secular government.
Restructure and destroy our constitutional system.
Prioritizing tax cuts and privatization.
Do you really want to live in an autocratic Christian Nationalist society?
Then
Let’s get Loud.
Now.
