Before Trump took (well, LIED about) the oath of office I pointed out, essentially, what was going to be happening. Does that make me a “prophet?” Absolutely NOT! What that means is I read MUCH of “Project 2025.” Along with (f)Elon Musk and Russel Vought Trump is being directed by them as to how their manifesto is going to play out. Most people, including MOST of those who voted for Trump were unable to even imagine what was laying in store. What I said was Trump was going to “flood the zone” with so many executive orders that “we the people” would be “chasing our tails” while Trump and his sycophants are succeeding in doing “stuff” “over here” while we are looking “over there” instead of at what is really the objective.

The first example which comes to mind is Trump’s attempt to take over the Postal Service. Here’s what many are missing here. This is a key ingredient in the republicans objective of causing our “free and fair” elections to resemble those in Russia. Trump and his supporters are already planning for a THIRD term in 2028. While “we the people” are (justifiably) focused on (f)Elon Musk, as he has boasted, taking a “chain saw” to the federal bureaucracy I believe the Project 2025 puppeteers are setting up a back door way to undermine the elections so many of us have depended on our entire lives – I voted for the first time in 1968 – I could NEVER have imagined the American people would vote for a FELON to be our (so-called) president.

Here’s another “red flag” for those of us who actually believe in our democratic republic. Comcast is spinning off MSNBC into its own entity. If you don’t pay attention to the ratings of cable news outlets, aside from the MAGA cult members who are loyal to the propaganda spewing Fox “news” MSNBC has the second highest audience numbers. Rachel Maddow is number one in her time slot, but Fox dominates the ratings. (A sad reality for America) Here’s my point – I’m worried that Musk will simply buy MSNBC for “whatever” and, in essence, shut it down or replace its commentators with those who share his fascist (apartheid) beliefs. The reality for “we the people” is that 90% of the media is dominated by right wing corporate platforms. Should Musk actually do this then that number will be close to 100%. That’s the fascist’s fever dream.

Both of these two issues are “flying under the radar.” One of the main objectives of anyone attempting to turn a “democracy” into a fascist state is to gain full control of the media. Musk demonstrated the value of owning a social media platform when he “Invested” close to $300 MILLION along with a FLOOD of misinformation on his Xtwitter social media app and turned the polling toward Trump in the final couple of months of the campaign. Now he’s using his role as our UNELECTED co-president into eviscerating our non-partisan public bureaucracy – actually CLOSING departments which were involved in investigating his businesses.

I believe there’s a full throated effort on behalf of those behind Project 2025 to FIX the upcoming “elections” in a way which will make them simply a an exercise in supporting the republican’s “permanent republican ‘majority.'” I keep listening to the “experts” attempting to understand what is actually happening and what can be done about it. The problem, for me, is what I hear is a different version of what I’ve witnessed from democrats for the past 40 years. Yes, the democrats know how to govern. NO, they have no idea how to fight against the fascist republicans. (More on that in a bit)

As I always say – with republicans there’s always MORE – OK, I know I just wrote that, but…. Where to start? If you’ve read this far I’m guessing none of this is new. But, just spend a little time thinking about what is happening to our military. Of course, first it was the confirming of Pete Hegseth, a Fox “news” weekend host, as the Secretary of Defense. Hegseth has been reported to be a public drunk and an abuser of women – NOT what MOST people would think you’d see on the resume of someone aspiring for such an important position. But, sure enough, now that Hegseth is the Secretary of Defense all hell is breaking out. (Is this what the Trump administration means by choosing people based on merit?)

I won’t get into the rabble which has come from Hegseth’s mouth at this point, but there’s plenty of other indicators that indicate “we the people” are facing something which hasn’t happened before in modern (since WW II) America. First, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff for the miliary – Gen. Charles “CQ” Brown – was fired – because he’s “woke.” I’ve told you before, if you’ve been here, just substitute the word “Black” for “woke” and you’ll get the REAL meaning. (We can thank Huddie Ledbetter – ie Leadbelly for that term) The new head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff is a Trump loyalist. He goes by “razin Caine.” Apparently, that’s what they mean by “merit.”

The head of the Navy was a WOMAN – Admiral Lisa Franchetti – a 30 year veteran of virtually every level of serving in our Naval force, Hegseth called Franchetti a “DEI hire” in his 2024 book, in which he wrote: “If naval operations suffer, at least we can hold our heads high. Because at least we have another first! The first female member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — hooray.” Once again, is this really our new “merit” system?

You can look at one department after another and you see the same thing. People being fired at random by either Trump appointees or directly by (f)Elon Musk and the DAMAGE to our nation is becoming more IMMENSE by the day. Of course, using the ignoramus form of cutting jobs Trump and Musk (and their appointees) are impacting the lives of actual Trump supporters. Me, knowing the republican members of Congress are such cowards they can’t be depended on to put this to a stop, I’ve been watching Bernie Sanders who I believe has the solution to this problem – and, possibly, if it’s not already too late, the problem of the FIXED upcoming elections. (Remember, one of the KEY strategies of republicans is PROJECTION. So when Trump says the elections are “fixed” you need to understand that’s his objective. “Blame your opponent for that which you are, yourself, GUILTY.” Straight from Mein Kampf!)

So, back to Bernie Sanders – a great politician who has been “written off” by many in the beltway – as a “socialist.” (Prediction: he’s going to be looking better by the day) Senator Sanders is traveling across the country to RED districts and holding the “Town Halls” those republican voters AREN’T getting from their Representatives and Senators. And, if you get a chance, check our some of the results. (You can check it out HERE) More and more Trump voters are becoming ANGRY because they had no idea Trump and Musk would be coming after them. Yes, that’s a sad state of affairs, but, regardless – it’s time to hear from these people and, apparently, it will require democrats to give them a voice. Democrats who want to make a difference SHOULD be spreading out all over the RED districts in America – especially those of vulnerable republican candidates – and holding town halls. Give these Americans who live on Fox “news,” “Newsmax,” and other right wing outlets a chance to voice their displeasure – because it exists and these people need to understand it’s the democrats who hear them.

Final Thought: This takeover of the American government by fascists is happening VERY quickly. While democrats are arguing amongst themselves about what they should be doing Trump and (f)Elon are busy staying one step ahead. The barrage of ILLEGAL acts are a front for what I believe is the real plan – and, that is to complete the job of undermining our “free and fair” elections. I hear democrats talking about all the voters from 2020 who stayed home – and, I have to wonder, is that really the “end of the story?” I keep remembering the guy in Wisconsin who, after Ron Johnson was re-elected to the Senate in 2022 bragging that republicans prevented enough inner city voters from Milwaukee and Madison to make the difference in the election – he did this publicly. Now, (f)Elon is dumping MILLIONS into Wisconsin to back a right wing judge who, if he wins, will turn their court to the right. Here’s what I’m wondering: How many people were blocked from voting in 2024 and did it have an effect on the outcome? In other words: Were these voters apathetic or victims of voter suppression? Stay tuned….
