A conservative plan for Donald Trump’s potential transition into the presidency calls for dozens of prisoners to be executed, according to HuffPost. An 887-page plan by Project 2025, led by the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation, says that if elected, Trump should make a concerted effort to execute the remaining 40 prisoners on death row. The section’s author, attorney Gene Hamilton, advised that Trump “do everything possible to obtain finality” on the current list of people until Congress forces them to stop. Hamilton is the vice president of America Legal First, a group of former Trump lawyers bent on attacking “woke” companies, headed by Stephen Miller. Trump’s approach to the death penalty stands in stark contrast to that of President Joe Biden, who has openly opposed the death penalty, but done little to move forward legislation to reform or abolish the practice since entering office.

For those of you not in the know Project 2025 is Republicans plan to turn the USA into an authoritarian state.

    I’m not saying conservatives are good, I’m saying democrats are not very serious about opposing them.

    Are you a child, or have you only recently started paying attention to yankee politics?

          If you don’t like that your bs isn’t tolerated here, leave.

          Throwing tantrums won’t change that.

            How is any of what I’ve been saying “GOP talking points”? Do the conservatives in your life pay nearly this close attention to what the democrats do? Because all the conservatives I know are freaking out over Facebook stories of kitty litter in classrooms or Heather Has Two Mommies being available at the local library.

            If your reaction to criticisms of the DNC is to immediately assume i’m some spooky agent provocateur, then you’re approach to politics is just as mindless as the Facebook conservatives.

              Continuing to complain About the consequences of your own actions will not get you any sympathy.
