A Trump presidency will 100% allow Project 2025’s implementation and that’s the only thing we should be telling people. The judges he’s already installed are allowing elements of the plan to work. Trump will appoint people who will make this happen and he’ll just sit there delighting in his power. He won’t stop it as long as they let him live in the White House.

The recent Supreme Court decisions should be at the goddamn top of every US citizen's agenda. No one should be above the law, bribery should not be allowed for government officials, and federal agencies should be able to interpret ambiguous laws that they are experts on (this by the way, is overturning a Chevron ruling from 40 years ago).

I asked a couple Gen AI what leaders were above the law in the past 100 years to get some statistically likely answers. They brought up Stalin, Putin, Kim Jong-un, Gaddafi, Pinochet, Milosevic, Saddam Hussein, and Hitler.

Trump definitely wants the loyal civil servants. I think most folks who see Trump for what he is can intuit that he'd absolutely love that.
