A think tank called the Heritage Foundation is urging Trump to make the US a Christian nationalist state, should he get a second term in charge. Liberals are laughing and the former president is emphatically distancing himself.
Imagine a ‘Land of the Free’ where watching porn is enough to land citizens in jail.
That is a future the Heritage Foundation, a major US think tank, is hoping to secure by as early as next year.
The fundamentalist Christian outfit has outlined its 922-page manifesto, dubbed ‘Project 2025’, to transform the US into a Christian nationalist state spearheaded by Trump, should he have them or even secure a second term as president.
Comprised of 38 authors – 31 of which reportedly have a history of working under the previous Trump administration – the plot lays out the ‘red brick’ road to a Christian utopia in under 180 days.
Chief among the theoretical stipulations is the outlawing of same-sex marriage and adoption, as well as forcing unwanted pregnancies to term by tearing up the Affordable Care Act. We’ve touched on the porn thing already – not like that.
The removal of 50,000 government workers is mandated, including a full-scale wipe out of the departments of education and justice to make room for hordes of Trump loyalists.
There’s also the proposed axing of all climate change reform established under rival Biden, because presiding over the fate of the planet is reserved for celestial beings only. Trump would surely love this too: ‘You ruin my oil leases, I scrap your renewables!’
‘If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical left,’ the authors write, ‘we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on day one of the next conservative administration.’
