The language of the linked article by Mr Barrington Salmon may seem to veer into conspiracy territory at times…if it wasn’t so well-documented. At the risk of “yelling into a echo chamber”…
“The actions of liberal politicians in Washington have created a desperate need and unique opportunity for conservatives to start undoing the damage the Left has wrought and build a better country for all Americans in 2025,” the Project 2025 manifesto said. “It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, 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.”
Meyerson, editor-at-large at The American Prospect, said far-right conservatives and The Heritage Foundation have an extensive enemies’ list that includes “welfare recipients, lazy and liberal civil servants, anti-business regulators, environmentalists, and union bosses, “scientists, woke bureaucrats, woke educators, woke diplomats, woke generals and admirals, woke G-men, and anyone who doesn’t indulge the next Republican president’s every whim (an adaptation to the likelihood of a Trump nomination),” in the commentary titled, “The Far Right Has a Plan to Remake America. They Even Wrote It Down.”
America is at an inflection point, vacillating on a knife’s edge because of Trump, who has tapped into a deep reservoir of grievance, hatred and resentment plans that will be fully unleashed in a second term. Trump’s incendiary rhetoric – mirroring Hitler and Mussolini – is convincing observers that he’s a fascist, to add to his authoritarian bent.

There is no more neutrality in the world. You either have to be part of the solution, or you’re going to be part of the problem.
Please explain. What exactly has been enacted? A rightwing authoritarian state?
What? Again, please explain. What “shift” started with Clinton? What is this name of which you speak?
Go back about 30 years and research DLC and 3rd way democrats. The entire shift to the right started with Bill Clinton at that point.
It’s always been a right-wing authoritarian state, when Trump was locking up protesters during the George Floyd protests, Democrats correctly called him out for it. But were strangely silent while protesters protesting against mass genocide in Gaza are also getting arrested, losing their jobs, while ignoring that he further funded Israel and completely bypassed Congress to get them more weapons. Sounds very authoritarian to me.
