Real Power…

“Real power is the ability to engender fear” — Donald Trump

by Rick Stiller

Far too many voters ignored the abundant horrors in the Heritage Foundation’s openly published and widely publicized dystopian manifesto, Project 2025, Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise, which contains more than 900 pages of detailed plans for dismantling the government, rescinding rights and benefits we all rely on, seeking retribution against their enemies, and ending democracy. Many of the devastating, monocratic entries were written by former officials in Trump’s first administration who intend to fulfill their ambitions for complete demolition of the “deep state” in their jobs in his next.

Donald Trump spent the last four years telling audiences exactly how he was going to transform our government into an autocracy and force society to bow to his dark, twisted ambition to become the first American emperor.

Joseph Goebbels and Adolf Hitler coined the mantra that “If you repeat the big lie often enough, it becomes truth.” Trump and his MAGA sycophants have amplified that concept to flood the media with hateful noise 24/7, to the point that an exhausted populace cannot discern the difference between truth based on vetted or verifiable facts and blatantly false fabrications.
