True Intentions
Finally, Republicans are openly sharing their true intention for America’s future.
At the 2024 Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), the first speaker opened the conference with, “Welcome to the end of democracy. We are here to overthrow it completely. We didn’t get all the way there on January 6, but we will endeavor to get rid of it and replace it with this right here.” Holding up a cross, he continued: “After we burn that swamp to the ground, we will establish the new American republic on its ashes, and our first order of business will be righteous retribution for those who betrayed America.” They want to replace democracy with Christian Nationalism.

For years, the GOP has not had a political platform of stances on issues. They have outsourced that to the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025. Rooted in Christian Nationalism, the Project’s primary goals are dismantling federal and state governments, defining and enforcing their definition of family, and “securing the God-given individual rights to live freely.” What will that look like?
Environmental and safety laws will be abolished; climate change will be denied; the poor will be ignored; funding for education and social safety net programs will be eliminated; criminals, including shoplifters, will be shot instead of arrested (according to Trump), public lands will be sold off to the elite, science will be ignored and punished if it challenges Project 2025. Free speech will only be free if you tow the party line. Authoritarian regimes never benefit the masses; only the elites who kiss the ring. Vote for democracy.
