Deep dives
Project 2025 vs Agenda 47
Project 2025 aims to fundamentally destroy the federal government, while Agenda 47 plans to reshape the country into an unrecognizable form. Trump's personal plan, Agenda 47 involves a clear authoritarian agenda and seeks to replace federal workers with GOP loyalists. The plan includes dismantling the administrative state and purging federal employees.
Immigration Focus
Agenda 47 includes mass deportation efforts, targeting undocumented immigrants, ending birthright citizenship, and deploying National Guard and police against immigrants. Trump plans the largest domestic deportation operation in American history, revoking visas based on political views, and implementing ideological screenings for immigrants.
Education and International Policy
Trump aims to shut down the Department of Education, promote 'patriotic values' in education, and create an 'American academy' funded by suing universities. Internationally, Trump plans to reassess America's participation in NATO, demanding payment for protection and creating a transactional foreign policy approach, aligning with authoritarian leaders.
Military and Prosecution
Trump's plan involves using the military as a mercenary force, alarming threats against officials like General Mark Milley, purging those who oppose his agenda. His transactional foreign policy threatens NATO alliances and aligns with authoritarian leaders. Education reform includes imposing 'patriotic education,' persecuting universities, and creating a system separate from post-World War II principles.
Authoritarian Alignment and Global Influence
Trump's alignment with authoritarian leaders like Orban and his transactional foreign policy approach threaten traditional diplomatic values. His plan involves leveraging the military for hire, encouraging authoritarian actions if NATO countries do not pay. This shift towards transactional foreign policy deviates from the post-World War II era ideals on which NATO was founded.
Trump's Far-Right Authoritarian Foreign Policy
Trump's far-right authoritarian foreign policy poses a threat to various regions, including the Middle East and Ukraine. He has shown inclination towards aggressive tactics like allowing Putin to dominate Ukraine and potentially supporting extreme actions in Gaza. This aggressive stance, if continued, could worsen human rights violations and diplomatic tensions under Trump's leadership.
Environmental and Social Policies Under Trump's Administration
Trump's policies on the environment and social programs reveal a stark contrast with Biden's approach. His agenda includes expanding oil drilling, rolling back environmental protections, and neglecting climate change efforts. Additionally, his plans to restrict gender-affirming care and introduce restrictive gender policies could severely impact vulnerable communities. The proposed actions, such as dismantling the Affordable Care Act and targeting marginalized groups, highlight a concerning disregard for human rights and environmental preservation in Trump's agenda.
There is a clear and planned takeover of the American government by people who no longer want to work under a functioning democracy but some form of authoritarian, kleptocratic, theocracy and the Republican Party are on board for all of it. If you don’t know about Project 2025 go back and listen to the top of the year show, but this episode is all about the other half of the plan - something called Agenda 47, which is really Donald Trump’s personal plan. Now that he is the official Republican nominee for President of the United States we need to fully understand exactly what he plans to do. Trump has a dystopian nightmare planned for us and the sooner we understand the gravity of the situation the better prepared we’ll be to truly counter it.
