Donald Trump's acolytes are preparing for a potential second Trump administration. Former and current Trump aides have a radical 920-page plan--Project 2025--with a long list of executive actions to be implemented immediately upon taking office--actions affecting Americans' everyday lives.
Before you cast your vote this November, consider how your values square with Project 2025.
Do you want:
-- Climate protections?
-- Social Security and Medicare when you're eligible?
-- Affordable health care of your choice?
-- Free, public education?
-- Federal agencies staffed by trained experts?
-- Free services provided by federal agencies, such as weather reports?
-- Temporary food assistance should you experience hardship, such as job loss or housing loss from a natural disaster?
-- Personal freedom to: read any book you want; plan your family, with access to contraceptives, IVF and emergency pregnancy care; marry the person you love; obtain needed health care (including reproductive and gender-related care); practice the religion of your choice (or no religion); peacefully protest injustice?
-- Economic justice through a fair tax system?
-- Worker protections, including fair wages, union rights and child labor laws?
If you answered "yes" to any question, you'll be seriously hurt by a future Trump administration. Not only will Trump discard precious individual freedoms, he'll totally control independent agencies. With SCOTUS recently granting him broad immunity, he has the power of a king, free from Congressional oversight--a terrifying proposition for a perennial self-dealer! Don't let that happen!
