Summary
Kevin Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation and architect of Trump’s Project 2025, employs intense fire-related rhetoric in his upcoming book, Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America, advocating for a “controlled burn” of institutions he deems corrupt or antithetical to conservative goals.
Roberts calls for dismantling entities like the FBI, Ivy League schools, and the New York Times, framing it as necessary to “renew” America.
His incendiary language has sparked controversy, with critics alarmed by the violent imagery and its implications for Trump’s second term.
So technically yes and no. He cant just say he wants to get rid of the fbi or remove term limits at will. Study how the Goverment works
Their goal is to break it. They control all branches of government. Who is there to stop them?
They can’t break it though. I mean anything he does deemed unconstitutional can be challenged by any appeals court judge that can strike it down. He needs 2/3 congress approval which he doesn’t have the votes for constitutional changes and changes to the exec branch. Lots of changes are complicated. Even removing the ACA.
Remembered day one in 2017 he had that travel ban? A judge struck it down and they appealed and lost. He doesn’t have a magic wand…
They didnt have SCOTUS locked down at the time. They do now. They’ll appeal any appellate court decision to the Supreme Court, who will find any excuse to rule in their favor. It’s already happened with Dobbs, the plaintiff literally had no standing to bring a suit, but SCOTUS said, “We won’t worry about that.” Then ruled based kn a Brittish law from before we were a country.
You seem to think they believe in the rule of law. They don’t. They have spent 50 years preparing for this fucking moment where they can become the ruling class. Look at how Alito and Thomas openly flaunt that they’re for sale.
They. Don’t. Care.
I mean anything he does deemed unconstitutional can be challenged by any appeals court judge that can strike it down.
And then appeal it to the SCOTUS who literally gave him criminal immunity. With Congress and SCOTUS, it doesn’t matter what the Constitution actually says. Just what they can twist it with paper thin reasoning to mean.
So who’s stopping him?
