I usually don’t like these kinds of analogies, but Rachel has a point here, especially if you read that crackpot stuff over at Heritage.

@RadioFreeTom @Will_Bunch You’re a little late to this but welcome.
@RadioFreeTom @HC_Richardson Project 2025 is the only written platform the GOP has had since 2016, it’s a mistake to not take it seriously with or without Trump as nominee. And SCOTUS originalists are creating a supportive legal backdrop for eliminating agency independence.
@RadioFreeTom There's an element in the GOP that is absolutely going for RW authoritarianism, and hardly anyone in the rest of the GOP is speaking out or pushing back in a meaningful way (i.e. in public).
@RadioFreeTom I feel like the Republicans must know that their future prospects under a democratic system may not be good, so they’re going all-in on overthrowing it and installing themselves as a permanent ruling minority while they can still get away with it.
@RadioFreeTom I don’t like these types of analogies either & I’ve always thought they are extreme but I visited the Holocaust Museum recently & last night I watched Ordinary Men: The Forgotten Holocaust & I definitely kept thinking about people today being indoctrinated so easily.
@RadioFreeTom They are using the same playbook. This should not be surprising.
@RadioFreeTom I heard that was one of the first things that a second Trump administration would do. It was one of the final things he did in office but Biden undid.
@RadioFreeTom & @RachelBitecofer Biden is taking it very seriously and trying to shore up protections for civil servants so Trump’s Schedule F wishlist of firings and MAGA replacements can be stop. As we speak pro MAGA Schedule F designers are fighting with Biden Admin.
@RadioFreeTom The biggest reason Ivanka is not a huge defense contractor is civil service protections. You can bet a replacement civilian staff beholden to Donald will do whatever he tells them. Tuberville is holding the senior military positions open for Trump appointments.
