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.

      Typical that you keep blaming others for your own behavior. Just like you have been this whole time.

        Oh, are you like, a bot trained on redditor’s comments? Is that why you only have old memes to reference?

        Like, do you have any response to what I’m arguing besides various iterations of “Nuh Uh!”

          do you have any response to what I’m arguing besides various iterations of “Nuh Uh!”

          You mean the exact thing you’ve said for your last 2 replies?

          Once again, blaming others for the exact thing you are doing, lmao. So predictable…

          If you don’t like that your bs isn’t tolerated here, then leave. Continuing to throw tantrums won’t get you any sympathy.

            We’re both doing now. That’s how this tango works.

            I pointed out Democrats are not particularly strategic or serious when it comes to wielding both the legislature and the presidency, you didn’t have a response to that, here we are

              Once again, blaming others for your actions. That’s not going to work here because we’re not the idiots you think we are.

              If you don’t like that your bs isn’t accepted here, leave. Continuing to throw tantrums about it won’t gain you any sympathy.

                Really, though, do you think Biden has the political willpower to pull enough swing states? People tend to vote how they feel; keep the incumbent if they’re happy, kick 'em out if they’re not.

                The conservatives seem to think they have this one in the bag, they’re already outlining their policy plans, as this article highlights.

                  You already let the mask slip, troll. Do you think we all have amnesia and forgot, or are you just an AI bot, so you’ve slipped back into the act?

                  This sounds like a script, lol

                    Well, I admit I’m enjoying this on several levels. On the one hand, it’s funny to collect downvotes. Half the time, it works like a little ticker that says, “Someone has acknowledged what you said, but doesn’t have the time or capacity to reply

                    On the other hand, I do genuinely enjoy talking about politics. I’ve been following US elections since I was in middle school. I like to remind people to think about more than this narrow view of this specific election; the reporting and posting and commenting all tends to have such a very short-term memory for these things.
