If you want to see Trump’s and the MAGA vision of the future supported by Congressman Finstad, state Sen. Dornink and state Rep. Bennett, just look at what Victor Orban has done to Hungary. Orban’s fascist society is Project 2025.
The first try to implement a Project 2025 agenda was soundly rejected in 1964 when GOP presidential candidate Barry Goldwater lost the electoral vote 486 to 52 and popular vote 61.1% to 38.5%. This was because Goldwater openly ran on ending Social Security, to end civil rights, to create a flat tax, to undermine public education, to end all government protections by way of federal regulations and reversing the Brown v. Board of Education unanimous Supreme Court decision that ended segregation in public schools. Goldwater ran on states should each decide whether or not public schools should be segregated in their individual states.
Today’s Project 2025 is much worse than 1964’s project agenda especially because of it’s stealth planning by home grown terrorists to overthrow democracy.
The MAGA’s have already executed two “successful” Project 2025 agendas in Chile and Hungary. Both are the templates/archetypes being executed now in America. The Chile story is explained in chapter 10 (14 pages) of professor Nancy McLean’s book, “Democracy in Chains.” In Chile, MAGA executed a far right-wing constitution with locks and bolts over the Chilean people.
Trump promotes Victor Orban’s fascists ideas. Orban addressed the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Texas. Tucker Carlson acted as the host for a CPAC meeting in fascist-controlled Hungary, During the CPAC meeting in Hungary, Orban said:
“Hungary is actually an incubator where experiments are done on the future of conservative policies. Hungary is the place where we didn’t just talk about defeating the progressives and liberals and causing a conservative Christian political turn, but we actually did it.”
Media Matters website is a good place for you to educate yourself about Project 2025. There is an easy outline/summary and much more to review before you vote.
Vote for the Democratic Farmer Labor Party candidates who are all protecting our freedom to live in a democracy.
