Fascism is defined by “one-man rule, based on big lies, nationalist fervor, xenophobia, hatred of marginal groups,
displays of militarism, incitement to violence, media manipulation, and persistent lawlessness.”
— political polymath Mark Green

          The 2024 election cycle in the U.S.A. is critical for the survival of democracy and for the restoration of the U.S. Constitution.
          And the local, 'down ticket' elections really, really matter.
          The choice each election in the U.S.A. is binary: Not voting BLUE all the time or not voting at all is a surrender to the fascists & racists & the Republican Party.
          Fascism, per political polymath Mark Green, is defined by “one-man rule, based on big lies, nationalist fervor, xenophobia, hatred of marginal groups, displays of militarism, incitement to violence, media manipulation, and persistent lawlessness”.

          All of these activities are promoted in the recently re-published "Mandate For Leadership" book from The Heritage Foundation [est. 1973] and their "Project 2025" organization, an out-in-the-open scheme to steer the U.S.A. toward far-right autocracy (dictatorship).
          Project 2025 encourages Republicans to:
   •  intentionally spread disinformation;
   •  overreach executive power;
   •  weaken checks and balances;
   •  dismantle all protections against unchecked corporate power;
   •  quash criticism or dissent;
   •  promote marginalizing & restricting hard-won rights protections of minorities, specifically LGBTQ+ people, immigrants, women, and people of color;
   •  eviscerate the many guardrails in place that aim to defend the endangered environment;
   •  end attempts to enhance equity & racial justice throughout the government and shut down agencies that track progress on this front;
   •  end efforts to tackle issues such as climate change, and politicize research to back the project’s views on environmental policy, the evils of 'transgenderism', and women’s health;
   •  politicize independent institutions;
   •  initiate corruption of elections;
   •  and stoke violence in daily life and as populist protest.

Project 2025 has already caused legislative attempts to defund the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Department of Education, and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). So far in 2024, 11 states have introduced or taken new action on bills to roll back child labor protections.

You do not want further destruction of your rights. Vote very carefully in the upcoming elections.

"Mandate For Leadership" Book [orig 1981]
Beginning in 1981, The Heritage Foundation has published nine editions. The Reagan-era original is followed by editions of widely varying size:
the First Edition was 3,000 pages in 20 volumes. The page-count shrank down as agenda items 'entered the main-stream conversation'.
