Conservatives Plot To Dismantle US Government, Replace With Trump's Vision

With more than a year to go before the 2024 election, a constellation of conservative organizations is preparing for a possible second White House term for Donald Trump, recruiting thousands of Americans to come to Washington on a mission to dismantle the federal government and replace it with a vision closer to his own.

Led by the long-established Heritage Foundation think tank and fueled by former Trump administration officials, the far-reaching effort is essentially a government-in-waiting for the former president’s second term — or any candidate who aligns with their ideals and can defeat President Joe Biden in 2024.

With a nearly 1,000-page “Project 2025” handbook and an “army” of Americans, the idea is to have the civic infrastructure in place on Day One to commandeer, reshape and do away with what Republicans deride as the “deep state” bureaucracy, in part by firing as many as 50,000 federal workers.

“We need to flood the zone with conservatives,” said Paul Dans, director of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project and a former Trump administration official who speaks with historical flourish about the undertaking.

“This is a clarion call to come to Washington,” he said. “People need to lay down their tools, and step aside from their professional life and say, ‘This is my lifetime moment to serve.’”

“The president Day One will be a wrecking ball for the administrative state,” said Russ Vought, a former Trump administration official involved in the effort who is now president at the conservative Center for Renewing America.

I've had enough with my mom. She's gone FULL INSANE. This isn't just "opinions" anymore. She thinks, "If you support Ukraine you support child trafficking" as if there's literally no other reason to support Ukraine. This is the worst thing I've ever seen my mom post. She even hates the entire Black Lives Matter movement, and told me "All lives matter, not just Black ones" and she's literally missed the point. Her husband is also pretty racist to most Asians, I've recalled him asking his son, "What do you think you are? An oriental Asian?" I remember him also banning me from attending a BLM protest in 2020.

I get not liking Zelensky, he's as crooked as one can be. But EVEN my HUGE Republican-leaning boss (who is ALSO a Trump supporter)

has told me to put support in Ukraine on his business page, a year or two ago.

She doesn't have to like Ukraine, that's her opinion. BUT. Every country is not innocent, how the USA and Mexico's ICE treats caged children is equally bad!

She's always being negative, I'm sorry but with a mother like that there's almost no way I can ever resonate with her anymore. This is my final straw with my mom's side of the family. I no longer see myself as remotely Armenian. My whole culture has followed the white rabbit.

I don't even mind being anti-Ukraine, but people post this stuff as an excuse to indirectly support Russia's dictator who embraces even worse values and stabs or at best imprisons citizens who criticize him. When I had a therapist, I told him I used to support Putin to be cool and stand out in high school, and he was nearly pissed off.

At this point I'm really thinking about blocking my mom on Instagram so I don't have to deal with her radical beliefs.

White Woman Whose Accusation Led To Emmett Till Lynching Dead At 88

The white woman who accused Black teenager Emmett Till of making improper advances before he was lynched in Mississippi in 1955 has died in hospice care in Louisiana, a coroner’s report shows. Carolyn Bryant Donham was 88.
Donham died Tuesday night in Westlake, Louisiana, according to a death report filed Thursday in Calcasieu Parish Coroner’s Office in Louisiana.

Till’s kidnapping and killing became a catalyst for the civil rights movement when his mother insisted on an open-casket funeral in their hometown of Chicago after his brutalized body was pulled from a river in Mississippi. Jet magazine published photos.
Till traveled from Chicago to visit relatives in Mississippi in August 1955. Donham — then named Carolyn Bryant — accused him of making improper advances on her at a grocery store in the small community of Money. The Rev. Wheeler Parker, a cousin of Till who was there, has said 14-year-old Till whistled at the woman, an act that flew in the face of Mississippi’s racist social codes of the era.

Evidence indicates a woman identified Till to her then-husband Roy Bryant and his half-brother J. W. Milam, who killed the teenager. An all-white jury acquitted the two white men in the killing, but the men later confessed in an interview with Look magazine.

In an unpublished memoir obtained by The Associated Press in 2022, Donham said she was unaware of what would happen to the 14-year-old Till. Donham was 21 at the time.
The contents of the 99-page manuscript, titled “I am More Than A Wolf Whistle,” were first reported by the Mississippi Center for Investigative Reporting. Historian and author Timothy Tyson of Durham, who said he obtained a copy from Donham while interviewing her in 2008, provided a copy to the AP.
