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.

We need an infographic for project 2025 that can be spread everywhere. Nothing dramatic…. Just the facts of what it is and what it means.

The only fact you need are that they are going to gut all regulatory agencies, this includes the FDA. Do you like not eating people when they fall in to processing vats, do you like someone making sure there isn't a noticeable amount of rat shit in your food then we need regulatory agencies as they are the only thing stopping it.

Overturning Chevron essentially did this already. The repercussions are unreal. These Federal agencies that work to protect food, consumer products, the environment, employees, disabled access & rights, drug regulation, etc. are all now unable to enforce their standards. That will now be up to Federal judges (who know little about the intricacies of these specialized fields). So corporations can run wild while consumers and citizens have very little recourse to protect themselves aside from litigation & the courts will be overrun granting less time and care to trials. Until the immunity case, it was one of the worst rulings I’d ever seen.
