Project 2025 will make US look like Hitler's Germany

Taking our country back” will lead to Hitler's Germany

The 1965 hit “Eve of Destruction” prophetically describes the dire straits currently confronting the United States.

A diabolical, morally bankrupt manipulator has successfully engineered a hostile takeover of a political party. He has brainwashed large swaths of the population while creating an impenetrable cult comprised of the gullible, dim witted and hypocritical among us.

The carnage includes the souls of mainstream Republicans, notwithstanding a brave few, who have capitulated to this convicted felon like helpless sea turtles to a killer shark.

Opinion: Why Project 2025 is a hateful plan all Americans should fear

The Constitution established the separation of powers, thereby preventing the concentration of power within one individual or facet of government. That guiding principle is currently in grave danger of being obliterated in favor of a mafia-like horde operating under the misplaced guise of “taking our country back.”

If American voters remain in denial of the threats proposed by Project 2025 as we approach less than 120 days to a landmark election, it is my realistic fear that a totalitarian state, tantamount to that of the demented Hitler Germany will repeat itself.

The fallout is destruction of the precious freedoms, equality and due process so embedded within the lives of our citizens and their ancestors.
