diversity, equality was a shared goal, and inclusion was a moral imperative.

It's a significant portion of the US population he aligns with. America's always been shitty. tRUMP has just dragged it out into the sunlight.

And theater to hide the massive corruption. All blended with the obergruppenfuhrer Vought’s desire to destroy real education in America, because he knows education is the greatest threat to his fascist Christian Nationalist dreams.

... the cabal behind Project 2025, and the entire Heritage Foundation, will have a lot to answer for. The magnitude of their evil can only be calculated in astronomical terms.
Germany outlawed the Nazi Party. Given their long history of blatant treachery, the Republican Party deserves the same fate, and the Heritage Foundation should join them. There are limits to the concept of Free Speech. What they have done is far, far worse than screeching "FIRE!" in a crowded theater.

... that such a strategy presupposes the eventual failure of the entire scheme. They just don't want to wind up sharing the fate of Mussolini or Ceaușescu, which is what most of them would deserve, especially Vought and that snake, Stephen Miller..
