Unequal Justice: Trump 2024 and the Blueprint to End American Democracy
The far right Heritage Foundation created a platform for Trump that plots an authoritarian take-over of the country.

The Progressive, Jul 27, 2023
Donald Trump nearly destroyed American democracy in his first term in office. If he is reelected, he plans to try to finish the job. This isnt a matter of speculation; its a virtual certainty.
EXCERPT...
One of the projects more disturbing aims is to bring all federal agencies under direct presidential control, ending the operational independence not only of the Department of Justice and the FBI, but also the Federal Reserve, which oversees the banking industry and regulates interest rates; the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which oversees television, radio, and the Internet; and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), which enforces antitrust and consumer protection laws.
What were trying to do is identify the pockets of independence and seize them, Russell Vought told The New York Times in an interview for a lengthy article published earlier this month on Trumps plans for a second term. Vought ran the Office of Management and Budget for the Trump White House, and currently serves as the president of the Center for Renewing America, one of sixty-five ultra-right organizations that have come together to form Project 2025s advisory board. (Others include the American Family Project, Hillsdale College, Liberty University, Susan B. Anthony Pro-life America, America First Legal, the Claremont Institute, Moms for Liberty, Freedom Works, the James Madison Institute, and ALEC.)
The Presidents plan should be to fundamentally reorient the federal government in a way that hasnt been done since F.D.R.s New Deal, John McEntee, another former Trump White House staffer, also told the Times. Our current executive branch, McEntee continued, was conceived of by liberals for the purpose of promulgating liberal policies. There is no way to make the existing structure function in a conservative manner. Its not enough to get the personnel right. Whats necessary is a complete system overhaul. McEntee joined Project 2025 in May as a senior advisor, working on the initiatives personnel pillar.
SNIP...
Dismantling the New Deal-era regulatory framework of the administrative state, as McEntee advocates, has long been a goal of the radical right. The right has also long advocated a bloated view of presidential power known as the unitary executive theory. The doctrine was popularized in the early 1980s by Ed Meese, who served as counselor to the President in Reagans first term, and as attorney general in his second term, before assuming a full-time post with the Heritage Foundation in 1988. Bill Barr, Trumps last Senate-confirmed Attorney General, is another prominent proponent of the theory.

Heritage Foundation president celebrates immunity decision: "We are in the process of the second American Revolution"
Kevin Roberts: We're in the process of taking this country back ... we ought to be really encouraged by what happened yesterday
WRITTEN BY MEDIA MATTERS STAFF
PUBLISHED 07/02/24
KEVIN ROBERTS (HERITAGE FOUNDATION PRESIDENT): In spite of all this nonsense from the left, we are going to win. We're in the process of taking this country back. No one in the audience should be despairing.
No one should be discouraged. We ought to be really encouraged by what happened yesterday. And in spite of all of the injustice, which, of course, friends and audience of this show, of our friend Steve know, we are going to prevail.
Number two, to the point of the clips and, of course, your preview of the fact that I am an early American historian and love the Constitution. That Supreme Court ruling yesterday on immunity is vital, and it's vital for a lot of reasons. But I would go to Federalist No. 70.
If people in the audience are looking for something to read over Independence Day weekend, in addition to rereading the Declaration of Independence, read Hamilton's No. 70 because there, along with some other essays, in some other essays, he talks about the importance of a vigorous executive.
You know, former congressman, the importance of Congress doing its job, but we also know the importance of the executive being able to do his job. And can you imagine, Dave Brat, any president, put politics off to the side, any president having to second guess, triple guess every decision they're making in their official capacity, you couldn't have the republic that you just described.
But number three, let me speak about the radical left. You and I have both been parts of faculties and faculty senates and understand that the left has taken over our institutions. The reason that they are apoplectic right now, the reason that so many anchors on MSNBC, for example, are losing their minds daily is because our side is winning.
And so I come full circle on this response and just want to encourage you with some substance that we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.
