Project 2025 could more correctly called "Project 1775 - a program to re-instate a king, make our states colonies, and make 99% of the people in the USA indentured servants."

I’ve become an old man because I spend all day thinking like one so that my work on this novel's pages will sound like they were written by one but I don’t really want to be one except that it helps the writing.
