Project 2025, how threatening is it?

Lat week I participated in a conversation promoted by the New Republican counting with the presence of the California Congresswoman Maxine Waters. Informative, but not impressive.

It is not a popular reading, it requires a substantial degree of education, worst of all, nine hundred pages with numerous interpretations from major policy makers, publications, people of all intellectual sizes and interpreted as many gustoes.

Honestly, I read only as much as my patience allowed me. It was disgusting, incoherent, promoted racially by some white people still absconded in a false Christianity. It was also not a Republican concept, solely acquired by the most obscurity small group with delusions of belonging.

In the conference, I asked the question of what they thought was the major uniting idea of Trump’s followers to trail a convicted felon running for the Presidency of the United States, a democratic country. It was brought to the attention of the participants, and Skye Perryman, president, and CEO, Democracy Forward, asserted a number of ideas, but not related to my concern.

Expecting to bring to the table a short discussion of hypothetical concepts without result, after all, – they were Rotimi Adeoye, writer from The Daily Beast, Skye Perryman, president and CEO of Democracy Forward, Maxine Waters, an U.S. congresswoman and moderated by Greg Sargent, staff writer, of The New Republic – leaving me with the desire for researching a broader concept to fill this void in my brain.

Dan P. McAdams, from New Lines Magazine defines him as Satan in his article The Mass Psychology of Trumpism: https://newlinesmag.com/argument/the-mass-psychology-of-trumpism/.

Disagreeing with Ben Goldsmith & Lars J. K. Moen who wrote their opinion on Scientific American that people are looking for strong leadership in their article Trump’s Personality Cult Plays a Part in His Political Appeal https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/trumps-personality-cult-plays-a-part-in-his-political-appeal/, kept me going for a motivation that could agree with mine.

Joshua Chaffin, Oliver Roeder, Claire Bushey, and Christopher Grimes from Financial Times believe his appeal is concentrated on “his unapologetic, unreformed masculinity is the former president’s primal allure.” They also said that “A study by psychologists from Penn State University found that an endorsement of “hegemonic masculinity” — that is, a traditional notion of masculinity in which men hold a dominant position in society.” https://www.ft.com/content/563a6c72-d754-44aa-a35d-cb6ad6275b64

Lastly, for my article I also decided to use the evangelical point of view with the article written by Gregory A. Smith, a senior associate director of research at Pew Research Center, 5 facts about religion and Americans’ views of Donald Trump, https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/03/15/5-facts-about-religion-and-americans-views-of-donald-trump/.

For sure, to follow Trump, it is not based on a republican concept; furthermore, not even political.

The major dogmatic concept of the republicans is religion, indicating that knowledge is based on faith without fundaments limiting the thinking process to just filling what they choose to trust, unsubstantiated in their own beliefs immersing their brain cells in what others say. The evilest of all is that they pretend to be the truth and procure to impose it on all human beings.

 The democratic individuals with a more open understanding of life, liberalism, are also limited to many baseless education formats. Their best attribute, they respect your ideology and do not try to convert one.

My belief of why Trump has so many followers reside on the human composition of developing a personality of power. We all have a degree of wanting to do what we want and think regardless of opinions or education evolving with time, but existing from the beginners of the ancestral philosophers.

Nietzsche’s concept, that “will power” is what humans are driven to overcome resistance with limitations in the world but also embracing such resistance. However, Trump’s followers do not incorporate his philosophy by not constructing their own values, becoming just his mere devotees.

We also believe that we are transporters of tyranny by believing in what we consider the truth identifying with Trump’s desire to become an absolute ruler. In fact, Plato played with this idea by contradicting himself when he first believed in totalitarian government and later changing it to “ totalitarianism was an unjust and oppressive form of government.”

Christianism, on the other hand, by believing in a god who will save them from total death, can identify with the human concept of a messiah, which Trump once tried to impose to his followers when on day he said to a reporter while he was president “maybe I am the messiah.” I am wondering why the news has not taken this barbarity into consideration.

More needs to be done, but this doing needs to come from within the Republican Party. Why is it that a Senator like Mitt Ronney cannot display entirely an abhorrence to Trump’s absurdities? Is it because his church is composed and managed by the same doctrines as Trump? If he went openly offering support to Kamala, would it bring consequences to him? And if it did, who cares? He is not running for reelection.

Project 2025 to me is not a major concern for this election. The awakening of Reagan’s republicans is.
