Project 2025: The Radical Conservative Plan to Reshape America Under Trump | WSJ (youtube.com)
The Heritage Foundation. The manual a (R) 'government in waiting.'
Vs the administrative ‘deep’ state, to remove ‘radical leftist’ administrators, turn FBI into a political task force accountable to the pres. FBI has never been run by a Dem. The pres should be the one directing the DoJ even if that means he won't be investigated (will they attack pres' political enemies?). Trump emphases loyalty. Applicants will complete an online course in Conservative values. We want competant people to be 'prepared for the specific job that they will have.' Closing border, mass deportation project. Pres will have more powers than previous presidents. These policies will attract lawsuits because Congress must approve changes to agencies. Dictator's dream. ‘Woke’ and ‘radical’ words appear several times. Block gender surgury for younger people.

The new Republican party that Trump has shaped in his image. Many older Republicans no longer feel it's recognizeable.
Trump nominated JD Vance for VP. Vance in 2016 during the fame for his memoir was a Conservative but against Trump, but during his Senate campaign in 2021, he started supporting Trump. Maybe there are some people who don't like Trump but support him only because his policies are the ones they want. The pick prefers white working class appeal to minority race appeal. Vance is 39.

The Left no longer talks about government agencies as they used to. That's now considered Trump's take on the Deep State. Maybe Leftists will take a bit of an issue with the DHS if they're too hard on migrants. They don't talk about it. Greenald used to be of the Left and since Trump is now sort of of the Trump Right. Free Speech now codes as a fascist value. Neocons used to be a sort of enemy of Leftists and now leading Leftists are neocons. So when people say to Greenwald ‘Why did you change?’ ... Left Liberalism and the values and actions that had defined it changed. Conservatives now appreciate Greenwald's free speech advocacy and criticism of the Deep State, and there is a new alliance, new allies.
ACLU came out of the communist prejudice, causing people to not be able to pursue their careers because they were communists. ... Skokie caused ACLU's supporters to cut off funding etc. ... ACLU started going after Trump and millions of dollars flooded in. ACLU also became staffed with people who didn't seem to even really know what the organization was famous for (things like Skokie) and when the ACLU did a defense of white nationalists, there was an uproar among their staff who were doing LGBQ and immigrant things and they were like ‘Why are we defending white nationalists and their free speech rights?!', after which the ALCU put out a statement saying in the future they were going to weigh free speech rights versus societal harms.
