Project 2025 (and its auxiliary Trumpās āAgenda 47ā) are a plan by right-wing extremists and other authoritarians to end Americaās multiracial democracy and to replace it with a White Christian nationalist plutocracy.
A conspiracy is a plan by two or more people operating in private to advance their interests and goals above those of some other person(s) ā or in this context the American people. Project 2025 is not a conspiracy.Ā These plans are exhaustively detailedĀ in a book titled āMandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promiseā and are regularly discussed at conferences, in interviews, and in other public forums. Project 2025 and its related plans, like Agenda 47, were not hatched overnight. As author and journalistĀ Anne NelsonĀ and other experts have been extensively documenting, Project 2025 and the other right-wing extremistsā and neofascistsā plans to end Americaās multiracial democracy have been years and decades in development
I donāt think the word āextremistā is appropriate when the overwhelming majority of conservatives support it. Project 2025 is just what regular conservatives plan to do to oppress and eradicate the normal people.
Here in Germany we learn that extremists are people with opinions that go against the system, trying to overthrow the system. By that definitions they are extremists, I think?
By that definition, I agree.
Actually the definition is more nuanced. A radical (from latin radix = root) is someone who wants to change the political system from its core by using legal procedures like elections. An extremist is someone who despite being in a minority trys to overthrow the system in violent terms. So depending on Trumpās win or a mop running in the capitol and declaring Trump the winner, they are either radicals or extremist.
