The Federalist Society and The Heritage Foundation have been working toward this since the early '80s, and their goal is essentially to establish a minority white rule in perpetuity - a sort of American Apartheid if you will.
I'm becoming ever more increasingly anxious as everything plays out like it is doing on a daily basis now. It also doesn't help that I'm reading Sarah Kendzior's superb book, Hiding In Plain Sight. It's about the political-economic and geo-political climate that led up to the installation of he who shall not be named here. But the overall aim of these folks is to establish authoritarian rule to ensure their aims. Truly, if you think about it and remember the period post-FDR, the goal of the rethugs (and white evangelicals) was to tear down all the institutions and programs that were enacted to combat the great depression; i.e., wipe out the social safety net programs such as Social Security (especially Social Security and later, Medicare). The wealthy elites and corporatists don't give a continental shit about anyone but their ilk. The rest of us are around to serve them and then die, the sooner the better. Oh, and they couldn't care less about the planet. It's simply around to be exploited and stripped for parts or hunted down.
