Usually that just creates a power vacuum, and there's already plenty of fascist already standing in line ready to continue this BS. The first mandate for leadership was written over 40 years ago, but many of the original ideas remain in project 2025.

The people currently running the Heritage Foundation are not the original members. The founding members are all dead, and the people sitting in the White House are just continuing their legacy.

They have infected the entire system. The country is septic because of these people, and hacking off a limb just because you can see it's the origin of infection, will not solve the problem. It will just leave you minus one limb and unnecessarily distracted while you try to stop the bleeding.

If we survive this as a country, we have to treat a systemic infection. To treat it and keep it from coming back, we will need to demand accountability from the people that were supposed to stop the infection from spreading in the first place. That means holding them accountable now or voting to actually replace them when it's time.

Governors and AG up for election between 2025 and 2028.

33 of the 100 Senate seats are up for election on Nov 3, 2026 as well as representatives from all 435 congressional districts across each of the 50 U.S. states.

We need people to understand that many of the issues we became so divided over, like Roe v Wade, were intentionally weaponized by billionaires who simply saw an opportunity and seized it.

If a group of billionaires could pressure the Supreme Court to overturn something that the majority of Americans agreed we didn't need to overturn, then the majority of Americans can pressure the Supreme Court to overturn Citizens United so that it can no longer benefit the same group of billionaires.

I'm literally stating a historical fact.

I know of like one dictator that has stepped down willingly.
