"We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be."
WOW!!
This is a claim made on July 2nd by Kevin Roberts, president of The Heritage Foundation. Roberts also wrote the introduction to the ultra-conservative manifesto Project 2025, a mandate outlining their plans to dismantle and then restructure the federal government. These plans include eliminating large amounts of nonpartisan federal employees whose jobs are to guarantee the safety of our foods and medicines. Additionally, other federal employees who safeguard our environmental and national security along with our transportation systems will see their jobs eliminated as well.
A national alarm has finally gone out about what this group of anti-democracy, anti-LGBTQ, anti-abortion, anti-public schools, anti-marriage equality and restrictions on divorce Christian Nationalists have in mind for our country should our democracy fall in November.
Enter stopthecoup2025.org. Organized in January 2024, this group’s main goal is to educate as many people as possible before the Nov. election as to the Heritage Foundation and Christian Nationalist plans for America. They too, have broken down the manifesto’s chapters and explain exactly how each government department will be changed, absorbed into other departments or eliminated altogether.
Stopthecoup2025 lists the seven strategies to divide and conquer. These are all actions American citizens have repeatedly been subjected to whether it’s through social media or the news media itself:
- Creating false conflicts and oppositions
- Gaslighting
- Bias – Demonizing specific groups of people
- Appropriating universal concepts
- The double standard
- Relentless repetition of buzzwords
- Old fashioned hypocrisy
Stopthecoup2025 describes itself as “a public education and mobilization campaign.” They acknowledge that if implemented the manifesto will “affect every sector of our society, including, but not limited to, labor, gender, immigration, racial equality, climate media, religious freedom, education and reproductive health.” We have already seen signs of that happening.
Stopthecoup has the backing of such groups as “Center for Progressive Reform,” “Chromatic Black,” “Council for Global Equality,” “Freedom from Religion Foundation,” “Reclaim Pride Coalition,” and “Rise and Resist” along with many more.
Here they list their plans to help preserve our democracy.
We can do this, we can preserve our democracy in November and beyond!
