Project 2025, to be activated by Trump regime appointees, is how Christian nationalists plan to take over the government. Much evil has been done in the name of religion to gain political and economic power. That is not new to human history, sadly. https://kettering.org/project-2025-the-blueprint-for-christian-nationalist-regime-change/
Project 2025 comes perilously close to violating the First Amendment. Instead of Congress being forbidden to establish laws, (" The First Amendment of the United States Constitution's wording on religion ( "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof"), the executive branch would do it de facto by executive orders and administrative rewrites.
Added 12/8/2024: Project 2025 also comes close to revving up racial tensions. The extent to which everyone blames racism for any policy disagreement is not surprising because racism is what drives the influential faction at MAGA as it also drives the fear on the left that the oppression they fought against in the civil rights movement is now in jeopardy.....The anti-DEI laced throughout Project 2025 is evidence that MAGA's hands are not clean.. The document now being activated with the Trump appointments is viewed by many, including me. as a plan perpetuated by and for white Christian nationalists who want to impose their unpopular policies on the majority, whether those of us with policy disagreements want them or not. They are doing this with subterfuge, executive orders, and appointing loyalists to their cause in place of civil servants to avoid taking their plans to court or Congress. It is a sneak attack on civil rights that will foment a backlash. Trump and Project 2025 plan to turn civil rights law against the vulnerable | Vox
Jesus brought a new message. The Golden Rule had always been part of the Jewish theology. Jesus, a rabbi, gave it a new and stronger emphasis in his sermons. He advocated peace, turning the other cheek, treating your neighbor as yourself, forgiveness, rendering unto Caesar, etc., and blessed those, the least of these, in the Beatitudes list. The current evangelical movement now preaches the opposite. It regales in cruelty (immigration family separation) and condemnation of others and uses politics as an instrument to spread their values that have little to do with Christ's teachings. White nationalists work under the banner of Christianity. Per some, Christian nationalists and White Christian Nationalists are the same In Project 2025, affirmative action has become a dirty word in an anti-DEI (diversity, equity, inclusion) crusade. In the 2024 presidential campaign, Kamala Harris was attacked as a beneficiary of DEI policies, inferring she, a person of her races and gender, could only have risen to her positions thanks to DEI.,,racist dog whistles if there ever were.

On the horizon is a long list of unpopular public policies that the Trump administration will try to implement. Many of those unpopular policies will be an unpleasant surprise because Project 2025's strategy and activation plans were ignored or because their media sources failed to report them or dismissed them as just jokes or wish lists. https://open.substack.com/pub/
