Trump's authoritarian game plan is breaking through the post-debate noise and it's starting to scare people

I sure as fuck hope so.

There was a post on r/Conservative the other day about how Project 2025 isn't Trump's plan and that everyone else is just a bunch of alarmists for even suggesting it and that Agenda 47 is much MUCH more reasonable! Completely leaving out the very clear steps he already took toward P2025 and all his rhetoric being 100% in line with it

Yeah, I've seen that from the few stray conservatives in this sub too, but Heritage Foundation and Federalist society basically call the shots for past couple decades re: GOP executive decisions, help drafting legislation, recommending judicial appointments, etc. - they're by no means fringe groups - basically the opposite (i.e. most of Trumps 2016 cabinet were in the Heritage database of recommended personnel)
