Michael Tracey is a very good investigative reporter. And he's right—there's nothing new here and we don't live in a "democracy" in the US. We live in an oligarchy. The Princeton Study told us this a few years back:

The Reagan era document is even longer at over 1000 pages. The Heritage Foundation which sponsors this things has been around for over 40 years now, so there is nothing surprising—they've been writing about these things for decades now. They weren't hidden away. They're available to the public.
Why the other half of the coin/duopoly/uniparty that goes by two names has chosen to ignore that these ideas have been floating around for decades is the real question. It's similar to why the blue side of the coin chose to ignore codifying Roe V. Wade into federal law, leaving it as a mere court ruling (which is NOT a law, just a "suggestion") when they had control of both houses of Congress and the White House. They just chose to not do anything about it. (Maybe because it's a great fundraiser tactic to "scare" voters into donating, either pro or con on abortion access?)
The duopolists all work for the same billionaires and do as their donors tell them to. The duopolists all take PAC/Super PAC money by the billions of dollars. It's just that simple. So, here we have yet another "Orange Man Bad/Scary!" type of tactic. All it does it make voters upset and might even tip some people with mental illness like the young man in Pennsylvania over the edge and cause them to do violent things.
It's not good for anyone to continue to use this sort of political tactic. It causes mental anguish and violence. And it just steals attention away from what is more important—shutting down the Military Industrial Complex which is funding/arming Israel's genocide of Gaza. Stopping the slaughter of innocents should always come first and foremost, IMO, before provincial politics and scare tactics.
But to continue to keep bringing up the scare tactics and pretending there's anything different between the duopoly/uniparty members is a waste of energy. They're both fascists—they're both corporatists, which is the definition of fascism that Mussolini first gave it: fascism = corporatism. More and more money to the MIC corporations to cause more and more war and genocide is just an example of fascism. And it doesn't make any difference which duopoly/uniparty faction is in the White House. They're equally bad and will equally ignore the Heritage Foundation's writings and the deaths of 186,000+ Palestinians.
There's only one party that has in their platform to reduce the MIC, end war and genocide, and guarantee universal health care and abortion rights, and it's not the duopoly. It's the Green Party.

From: nancylarson03@PROTECTED While this writer is on target pointing out the bipartisan love affair with maintaining and expanding the military industrial complex and it’s path of destruction across the globe, I find it deeply disturbing he doesn’t think what’s left of the tatters of our democracy would be fully extinguished were Trump to get re-elected and use Project 2025 as the roadmap to his fascist takeover.
