With an announcement on X earlier this week, "WE ARE DECLARING WAR ON THE DEEP STATE, a conservative project aligned with both Donald Trump and Project 2025 which is creating a roadmap to gut the government if Trump is re-elected is preparing to "name and shame" civil servants they believe won't be loyal to the now convicted felon ex-president.
According to a report from the Guardian, with financial assistance from the Heritage Foundation, "Project Sovereignty 2025" is going to make life miserable for government workers who will likely face threats of violence as accusations fly with their names attached.
"The group behind the list is the American Accountability Foundation (AAF), which was founded in 2020 and describes its mission as 'working non-stop to expose the lefts secrets and hold Biden accountable'" reports the Guardian's Tess Owen, while also noting a profile by the New Yorker labeled AFF a "slime machine.

Trump is going to destroy this Country just for revenge. What's even scarier is that tens of millions of people support him & will continue to do so no matter what he does & if that means blowing the whole thing up, so be it. Until he comes for them. And he will because he's a sociopath.
