DEAR EDITOR:

This has been going on for some time now, mainly backed by the Heritage Foundation but many other oligarchs and organizations.

Prior to the 1880s, people could be given government jobs based on what political party they belonged to. Jobs were doled out by the leaders of the incumbent party. Grover Cleveland initiated Civil Service jobs that eliminated this cronyism. Donald Trump with the help of Project 2025 wants to bring cronyism back.

Trump doesn’t just want to put his cronies in place at the head of government departments. There are plans to install 54,000 Trump-loving government workers. Project 2025 has hired Oracle to go through prospective employees’ social media to determine people who are loyal to Trump and eliminate people who are not to fill these positions.

This is real. This is going on right now. I believe if Trump wins the next election there will be no more elections.

Remember what Trump wanted the military to do: shoot civilians on the streets; seize voting machines.

We need to vote the fascists out and keep voting them out.

Wake up America!
