Project 2025 proponents: They're extremist radicals, not conservatives!

In the past, Conservatives had constructive ideas, discussed them rationally, and compromised to do what was good for Americans and move the country forward. Today, Conservatism as a constructive force in America is dead. It began to die with the Tea Party in 2009 and was bludgeoned to death in 2016 when Donald J. Trump became POTUS. 

William F. Buckley Jr. was both a Conservative and a Libertarian. He is recognized as one of the most influential people in American conservative politics. He founded the National Review, which was the standard-bearer of American conservatism.

Until 2009, the National Review excluded people, ideas, or groups unworthy of the Conservative label. The Review denounced Ayn Rand, the John Birch Society, racists, white supremacists, and anti-Semites. Conservatism then connoted a reasoned, constructive counter-point to liberalism—working together, America progressed toward establishing a more perfect union.

If elected, Trump’s agenda will be based on The Heritage Foundation's Project 2025. Trump and Project 2025 supporters hide under the label "conservative", but they are not Conservatives—they are psychotic radicals spreading irrational fear and paranoia throughout America, often through completely fictional conspiracy theories.  They are just small-minded devotees of a man-child wannabe dictator.

Their goal is to undermine our democracy (sedition) and devolve it from a more perfect union to an unregulated predatory corporatocracy (profit regardless of consequences), with theocratic (racist Christian nationalism) and oligarchic (billionaire class) oversight.  This means you and I will vote in farce elections like in Russia or North Korea. We will lose basic protections under the law, such as clean air, water, and food, regulation of toxic chemicals, Social Security, due process, free speech, free press, and much more.

If William F. Buckley were alive, likely he'd call these radicals anti-Americans, racists, white supremacists, and anti-Semites. He’d probably encourage voting for Democrats (as is Liz Cheney, George Conway, Adam Kinzinger, The Lincoln Project members, and many other legitimate Conservatives).

What will it take to retain our freedoms and strengthen our democracy in 2024? It’s actually quite simple: Americans must vote en masse for Democrats, federal and state, up and down ballot in 2024!

This is not about partisanship. It’s about saving our way of life, our democracy, and the rule of law under the U.S. Constitution.
