My parents of the WW11 generation always feared that the Republicans would try to erase the New Deal completely, leave the UN, etc. I think the scope of Project 2025 would have stunned them, as it did anyone who paid attention.

As horrific and complex as the Epstein mess is - trafficking and money laundering
possibly espionage in addition to the sexual abuse and rape of over 1000 young girls and the protection of the perpetrators of these crimes - the breadth and depth of
what the Trump regime has thus far enacted, not to mention their future designs, will destroy the US.

The rebuild and any restoration of trust will
take ages, if elections are allowed to be free and fair.
Project 2025 was decades in the making and we are on the brink.
