    Has Trump agreed to follow this project? I just keep seeing you guys talk about a plan a group made and then are pretending that everyone agrees.

      He says he’s got nothing to do with it. Yet-he’s got senior advisors and past appointees that helped write it and support it. He says he needs the heritage foundation -the organization that made it, to accomplish his goals. His super PAC runs ads for it. He stands in front of a podium and calls for things that are pretty identical to what’s in it.

      Stop watching the mouth and look at the goddamn hands.

      He will say anything to lever himself more power because the only way he out runs the shadow of his crimes is by becoming president again.

          I’m not going to vote blue this November.

          Now, how credible do you believe that statement to be?

          Don’t look the pile of evidence in my user history-that’d be makin a bullshit critique.

            If you dont think you will vote democrat in novermber, then you I guess I can only trust what you have to say, or you might just not vote. So since trump didnt say he was in support of the agenda, why should I think he is?

            If you have examples of him agreeing with parts of the plan, then please share and then you have an accurate critique. Right now you are just saying trump believes something he says he doesnt believe.

      Yes/no.

      On the “let’s all remain calm” side we should remember that white papers like these are created and circulated before every presidential election. They are not party policy, merely suggestions.

      But then we can remember that the Iraq War was a 1998 Heritage Foundation white paper proposal for the 2000 election.

      I think it’s more of a concern that any single one of these steps happens it means completely dismantling modern democracy. The details don’t matter

          Have you read the entire document once? I feel like that’s the minimum to be able to comment on it.

          It’s not long and it uses short words so that their base can understand.

            I dont need to read it to know that no part of it “completely dismantles modern democracy”. If you believe it does, then you are just believing propaganda.
