Will we have a democracy in 2025 or a dictatorship?
We are one vote either way.
There are times in life when we must put aside our own beliefs and do what must be done for the betterment of all of us and our way of life, such as having unions, free speech, healthcare, Social Security/Medicare in retirement and good education for all.
If Project 2025 and Agenda 47 go into effect, all bets are off. Project 2025 is a 920-page mandate for leadership that Trump’s handlers want to become law. All of this will be done at their discretion and we will not be able to go to the streets to protest and if we do, we will be shot like Trump wanted to do to protesters when he was in office.
Project 2025 would include firing all Department of State heads by the end of the day on Jan. 20, 2025. Senior State Department appointment leaders will be acting roles so they won’t need Senate confirmation. The plan is a collection of policy transition plans should Trump succeed in stealing the election again, as he did against Hillary Clinton.
“It is not enough for conservatives to win elections,” the project’s website states. “If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on day one of the next conservative administration. This is the goal of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project.”
The document outlines policy changes more to Trump and the GOP’s abusive and cruel natures, like attacks on immigration, education and economic plans.
Agenda 47, named as such because Trump thinks he's going to win against President Biden, is Trump’s fevered dream. It calls for formal policy plans. According to the Trump campaign, it is "the only official comprehensive and detailed look at what President Trump will do when he returns to the White House.” Look at Trump’s campaign website for a series of videos with Trump outlining each proposal.
The plans include constructing "freedom cities" on empty federal land, investing inflating car manufacturing, encouraging a baby boom with baby bonuses—presumedly white babies, establishing protectionists trade policies, and more than forty others. Seventeen of the policies that Trump says he wants to implement if elected will require Congressional approval, but Trump is not one to follow the rules. He has some controversial plans, such as ending birthright citizenship, which ironically four of his children could conceivably be labelled.
Many of the proposals are contentious. One Agenda 47 proposal would impose the death penalty on drug dealers and human traffickers, and organizations like the Mexican cartels placed on the U.S. Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
This is the time unions must come together to win this election and if we don’t win then we should start looking at what life will be like if these two proposals are implemented. We will lose all the progress this country has made.
Most all radio stations will be Christian propaganda, there will be no Homeland security, no Federal Bureau of Investigation as we have now.
This assault on democracy by the Trump people is real and some of the things have already been checked off their list, like abortion and buying the Supreme Court.
The only way to check the anti-union GOP is for all unions and their families to vote for people who supports workers—all workers—union and nonunion and their families. Also, the retired people, especially those on Social Security and State Disability Insurance.
We can’t allow Trump or the GOP to destroy the progress this country has made for the betterment of all people, not just rich Republicans.
In 2012 more than a quarter of all political contributions came from just 30,000 people who represented the 1 percent of the 1 percent, 90 percent who spent the most won. Today, we are an experiment in either a democracy, which started in 1787 or an oligarchy, which is winning. The nonunion people, like Trump and Musk, have most all the tools in their pockets to destroy our unions. They have money, they have the courts, they have law enforcement, they have the media, and 50 percent of workers that don’t know this don’t know the history of the working class people. This is the perfect storm to lose all the gains workers have made whether they’re union or not, even our Social Security and Medicare, and the Affordable Care Act. So, now we will have to go way back to the late 1920s and ‘30s and dig up the old labor party books. One book, written in 1964, has the information, The Rebel Voices, an IWW Anthology by Joyce L. Kornbluh, educator, activist, and advocate. The history of our labor...
