The most overwhelming thought I had at the Let's Get Ready to Do Project 2025 Conference last year was "wow they sure are pretty open about this stuff!!!" and I guess they correctly assessed that the best place to hide things from Americans is in a 900 page document

Their end goal is to REDIRECT the wealth of the nation into their OWN POCKETS.” --Elie Mystal

arrests-yet-but targeted legal harassment, a creeping message to anyone thinking about resistance: Sit down, shut up, or you're next. 5. The Military Will Be Used as a Distraction The gears of war will start turning, because nothing rallies a discontented populace like a new enemy abroad. Maybe it'll be Ukraine. Maybe Iran. Maybe China. Either way, expect military posturing, expect rhetoric about "stronger leadership," expect headlines engineered to keep you scared, keep you obedient. Expect just enough saber-rattling to make foreign leaders nervous, but not enough to topple the house of cards-because that would hurt the markets, and we can't have that. 6. The Crackdown on Dissent Will Begin in Earnest Protests will grow, and so will the response. Heavier police crackdowns. Increased surveillance. New laws expanding what counts as "unlawful assembly." The federal government won't need to send in troops-local police, bloated with military gear and emboldened by new protections, will do the work for them. Social media platforms will start enforcing "new security measures" that conveniently happen to suppress anti-government organizing. At first, it'll be high-profile arrests: a prominent activist here, a union leader there. Just enough to send a message. Then it'll be the everyday people (Most has been placed in the previous screenshot) It's about what kind of country you want to live in. And whether you're willing to fight for it. Because if you wait too long, you won't get the chance.
