Introduction by dmorista: Molly Jong-Fast is a liberal writer, at Vanity Fair, and produces a blog, Fast Politics with Molly Jong-Fast. She has been releasing YouTube interviews with various writers, professors, attorneys, and politicians about the extreme-right wing Project 2025 that the Heritage-foundation and Donald Trump's advisors have been preparing and already acting upon. This series is Project 2025 A Warning, and here are three recent episodes from that series.
In Item 1)., “Project 2025: The Plan To Take Over The Courts ….”, Whitehouse and Jong-Fast discuss issues relating to the U.S. Supreme Court, the U.S. Federal Courts, and State Courts. Whitehouse notes that the Supreme Court has been seized and is now a blatant far-right tool in the reactionary Republicans' campaign to impose a harsh Far-Right Religious / Corporate Dictatorship on the U.S. Whitehouse discussed Dark Money controlled by creepy Far-Right Billionaires that is corrupting and destroying the institutions of the country. Whitehouse has long been a solid advocate for socioeconomic justice and environmental protection. Whitehouse notes that the only part of the political system that is still functioning are Jury Trials of Trump and other figures on the far-right where Americans get to register their dissatisfaction with how the institutions of the nation are reacting to these developments.
In Item 2)., “Project 2025: The Plan To DESTROY ….” Jong-Fast discusses abortion and reproductive health care issues with Law Professor from U.C. Davis, Mary Ziegler. Ziegler analyses the actions of the forced-pregnancy / forced-birth movement going back to the mid 1800s and the Comstock Act. Ziegler is an authority on the legal aspects of the initiatives and laws passed by the forced-pregnancy / forced-birth movement'
In Item 3)., “Project 2025: Trump’s Second Term ….”, Jong-Fast talks with Georgetown University history professor Thomas Zimmer about the wide implications and political aspects of Project 2025. Zimmer notes that it has been widely discussed that a second Trump Regime would put some efforts into dismantling some operations of what they term as “The Administrative State”; however just as important would be the weaponizing and expansion of many departments of the government to attack the perceived “U.S. Left”. And as Zimmer points out this would not be limited actual leftists, but would include anybody who is opposed to the imposition of a Far-Right Tyranny based on the supposed virtues of the Mythical Traditional American Society. He also says that the American far-right, that now includes the entire Republican Party, fully realize that by a wide margin their goals are extremely unpopular. Therefore they have given up on trying to impose their agenda on the U.S. Populace using electoral politics. The main methodologies include; litigation in the U.S. Federal and Supreme Courts; extensive efforts in Red States, that are controlled by gerrymandered districts and massive voter suppression and election fraud; and violent actions and constant threats by vigilantes and paramilitary extremists, against the governmental apparatus at all levels from School Boards, to Libraries, to Election Officials.
Some of these actions would be greatly reduced in impact if the Democratic Party wins the Presidency, and control of 1 or both houses of the legislature. But the actions of the far-right will not stop, at the least we should be prepared for what is called Stochastic Terrorism (random attacks by rightist terrorists).
