I am reading project 2025 in a Democrats Abroad book club group. I have been helped in my understanding of it by Andra Watkins who has an impassioned Substack pointing out the Christian Nationalist agenda. It is clear that the goals of the Heritage Foundation and the MAGA party are to turn the USA into a Christian Nationalist Theocracy, every bit as bad as Iran, in fact worse, because until they implement all they have planned and turned us into a third world country, we will have too much power globally. People must understand that these bit players, who are wreaking such havok are a small fraction of what we will have to deal with if Trump gets elected and either he or JD Vance runs the country.

When I read of how so many individuals (and know some in my circle) seem to have been brainwashed into believing the rhetoric put forth by the MAGA conspiracy groups, I wonder what it will take for them to finally see the truth- or if they will be capable of having their eyes opened to some of the absolute nonsense they have been spoon fed. I have to have hope that they will not win this election, and our country can begin the slow journey back from this division.

While not the point of this article, Kim Davis & those representing her, are trying to get her case in front of scotus. To end marriage equality. Her attys feel encouraged after Thomas, in the Dobbs ruling, said he thought Obergerfel was wrongly decided

Allow me to share how Institutional and Cultural changes occur.

I worked for a global communication giant as a career. In twenty years I witnessed and survived at least three significant corporate and cultural changes. Here is how it works:

1 - GREED will inspire and provide the path

MOTIVE - Profits

METHOD - Performance

2 - PLAN - Stradegy

MILITARY - Build your field

3 - EXECUTE

Train and Send out your agents to

DAMAGE HARM AND PILFER

Employees and Customers

4 - OPPRESS

Cultural change will only take place

afterwards

5 - GOAL

Winner take all

Every one of us is the collateral damage of this cultural shift.

In the end should you have a product that no one can live without, which today is the internet, then this method will work.

Elon Musk figured this out with StarLink well before the Pentagon. However as displayed, people can live without X or Tesla vehicles in a cultural shift.

And humans will preserve and survive this awful period of social transition because any of the original sins that men impose upon each other can be overcome by FAITH.

Faith that the goodness and strength in the virtues of righteousness and justice that good people built this country on will win in the end. Put your investments in that.

FAUTH, That is the product we cannot survive without.

Change the culture within

It's beyond my understanding that anyone thinks a hand count would be more accurate than machine counting. I mean, am I the only one whose mind wanders while doing a menial but important task at work?
