Project 2025 and the Woke Threat
This chapter explores the radical perspective of Project 2025, emphasizing concerns about 'wokeism' infiltrating American society and labeling various citizens as threats. It critically examines a memo suggesting cuts to federal grants, framing them as associated with a 'Marxist' agenda, ultimately arguing that such rhetoric alienates beneficiaries of social programs. The discussion also highlights the potential economic impacts of these proposed cuts on the very supporters of radical political figures and the underlying vulnerabilities within authoritarian tendencies.
