      Me three. Unfortunately Trump's fallen angel benefactor needs for him to fulfill his destiny of 2025 - 2032 to the detriment of humanity.
      Did you notice?
      Trump is the 45th President. The number 45 squared is 2025.
      Trump - total lunar eclipse - June 14,1946
      Mike Johnson - total lunar eclipse - January 30,1972.
      Nikki Haley - January 20,1972.
      Astronomical odds of this happening.
      They are descriptively accurate to Revelation chapter 13 characters, unfortunately during our lifetimes.
      " There will be signs in the sun and moon and the stars" Luke 21:25.
      Frederick Trump the Trump Patriarch was born on March 14,1869. The March 14,2025 total lunar eclipse will mark the return and start of the seven years tribulation of his grandson, the realization of Revelation chapter 17 verse 11.
      Trump fits all the biblical descriptions of the final antichrist.
      Please choose Jesus in 2025 - 2032 not Trump " The Little Horn."
      2033 will be exactly 2,000 years since Jesus's crucifixion. The seven years tribulation will have to happen before his return.

      Far-Right networks will not mention it at all.
      Also, keep in mind.... Fox is NOT a "News" station. They redily admit and voice that they are "Entertainment", not news.
      Please have your hubby take a look. This is not BS... it's real, and will be implemented if we vote Trump in again.
      Trump is the "useful idiot" for the Heritage Foundation.
      Just look at our Supreme Court... most are a large part of the Heritage Foundation. Who would have dreamed that the wife of a Supreme Court Justice would be involved in the over-throw of an election (coup)?
      Who would have ever imagined that a Supreme Court Justice would be flying the American fFlag upside down?
      They have been working on this since the Reagan days, and all Americans will regret voting Trump back in, but it will be too late then.

    Thank you, thank you, Professor Ben-Ghiat, for discussing this vital subject in full detail. I wish mainstream media networks would stop lining up behind Trump, enabling him and, more than anything, obeying him in advance. I wish they would be courageous enough to expose Trump in all his cruel, corrupt and abhorrent behavior, starting with in-depth discussions about Project 2025, such as this one from today. They need to invite you to their news programs, so you can talk about it and reach more people with the truth. Our democracy is at stake!

      Mainstream media which Trump accuses of being left leaning is actually run by corporations that will support anyone that lines their pockets. Despite being a lifelong criminal and con artist, Trump lines mainstream media's pockets. That is why they are there to show up at all of his train wreck rallies. There is no investigative reporters anymore. Even Bob Woodward withheld vital info on Trump and COVID so he could cash in on a book.

    Discussions like this should be given to all our representatives in government. When I was working and we had an accident, the company would hire people to come in and talk to all of us. The people that came in had real life experiences and were educated to discuss why accidents would happen and the goal was to make us relate and think about our actions so that hopefully we are engaged and think more about safety. I believe that this was helpful. But it would have been more helpful to have had this type of education through out life instead of getting it as a result of a crisis.
    So that being said, this discussion that you Ruth and the others that also had much to say which would educate us on this crisis of Trump and the GOP willingness to let our Democracy flip into Fascism or Athoritarianism. Children are "right at this moment" being exposed to Fascism by camps that represent themselves as family (like boy scout) camps. I actually checked out one of these places because at first glance seemed harmless. But when I saw a copy of a letter signed by Adolf Hitler hung on the door to the main entrance, it sent chills through my body.
    So at that moment, I realized that right wing thinking parents are exposing there children to fascism in this way. Much the same way that it was done in Germany before WWII.
    Our educational system has failed us. This failure also took time starting after WWII. The steps were slowly taken over time and pow now we are here. The crisis is slapping us in the face right now.
    But I am thankful to you Ruth and others with similar backgrounds to yours and lawyers and judges that recognize what is happening juat as you do and they are joining the fight to educate all of us on this crisis. Thank you.
    But if we get through this you and the others need to get together to overhaul our educational system.
    We need the public school system.
    We need it to be fully funded.
    We need teachers like you to teach truth about all history. To teach philosophy and how to develope Critical thinking abilities based on truth. A person told lies as truth can not be a critical thinker. They can not make good decisions and our public school system has been defunded and good teachers are not hired and the push to private schools coupled these actions has set the stage for what is now happening. First we have to get through this crisis. Then we have much work ahead of us to develope guards against this crisis from happening again. I too believe in our people, the ones like you that see this dire threat are greater than the right thinking group. We have to protect their right to vote and other important freedoms. Well done Ruth!

I was shocked and very angry. “Parental Rights” is a smoke screen for far right Christian Conservatives who promote very un-Christian attitudes and behaviours. I have a step-sister who has heavily bought into the so called “Freedom Fighter” movement and sent her kids to a Christian school. This all hits home for me and it’s very alarming.

      @@Thomas-em9du As I said, “Parental Rights” is a smoke screen term used by parents who want to keep their kids in the dark and not acknowledge that people who aren’t the same as them exist, and who would teach intolerance to their kids. It’s not about age-appropriate learning. That we can debate. The “Parental Rights” movement is nothing more than right wing Christian (actually non-Christian, IMO) politics. Christians should act like Jesus, not the Heritage Foundation.

    I cannot just vote in this election. I have time and the means that I can help. I just have no idea where to begin. I’m from Ohio and do not like the direction my state is going and scared to death of Trump being reelected. I have this idea, I don’t know if it’s silly or it will even matter. Project 2025 reads to me like a dystopian nightmare. I read recently that 75% of American voters haven’t even heard of it. Obviously I can’t print the entire thing, but I had chat gpt4 give me a summery of it. It actually did a nice job. It was not biased about it, it just summarized it. To me, the summary was scary enough. My thought is that I could print the summary, provide a link and also include the questionnaire you have to answer before you can enter your resume. If you’ve read the questionnaire you’ll understand why I think it important to add it. Anyway, so I was thinking about printing a crazy amount of the summaries and walking my town putting them on people’s doorknobs or porch. I wouldn’t push anything to one side or the other, I’m not about to get into arguments with right wingers. I would be just giving them information I think everyone who plans on voting should know. So they either read it and they think it sounds wonderful or read it as a George Orwell novel as I did. It would be two pages max a very simple easy read and simple for people to understand. I just don’t know if this is a stupid idea, would it move anyone’s needle? I checked with the city to see if it was legal for me to do this or if I need a license. It is legal and I don’t need a license. All I need to do is let the city police know when I’ll be out just in case anyone calls the police, they’ll know why I’m there. Any thoughts on this or any other ideas would be greatly appreciated!

We're teaching anti-bullying, not try-out-homosexuality. We're teaching that it's bad to throw someone down the stairs or into oncoming traffic for being gay. We're not sexualizing students. If there were even a whiff of that coming from a concerned student, the admins could pull the levers to get rid of that teacher--not easily, but with enough lying they can do it.

    It is wonderful to hear such a calm person as Ruth Ben-Ghiat speak about a horrifying future in which fewer and fewer people in America will hold the reins of power. Panicking here is not recommended, in my opinion, and I believe that Prof. Ben Ghiat feels the same way. That said, complacency is the least productive option, and thus voters' participation, after hearing dire warnings, is as Ruth Ben Ghiat had said, our best hope. My optimism leads me to believe that, in politics as in life, "one can lead a horse to a fountain of water, but one a cannot make the horse drink." In other words, authoritarian regimes need the means to enforce their orders, and that is a near-impossible task. Civil disobedience is a marvelous tool available to all of us. In Italy, many years ago (and quite possibly, today as well) postal workers did not go on strike, when they wanted pay raises. They simply sorted snail-mail at a snail's pace. It worked. BTW, tens of millions of pieces of mail found their way to the ash can too. I think that it's a universal truth that one cannot have a country of any size where 50% of the population watch the remainder 50% by means of coercion, punishment, jailing, and intimidation. If you will, this is a classic case of 'Who's watching the watchers?' Thanks for a great interview.

    I read the Dept of Treasury chapter of P25. One of the features of P25 is to remake health insurance. Of course the ACA will be repealed. But there won’t be allowed a deduction to your paycheck for health insurance. Also the business won’t be allowed to deduct health insurance. Surely if it’s not a business deduction a large swath of businesses won’t offer health insurance. With the ACA gone so will protections for pre existing conditions. Just like car insurance factors in risk, so will health insurance companies. Good luck if you have pre existing conditions. Good luck if you are older. Good luck if you are a woman. Whatever savings you have on taxes from lower tax rates will pale in comparison to the cost of health insurance.

      Conservatives have always been fascinated by thinking that health care should cost the same as a mechanic fixing your car!! They think the market would reduce the cost of health care! Like a surgeon would take your appendix out for 25/hr!!

    In Australia, I've been watching American politics since Putin's invasion of Ukraine, so I've been watching Trump and MTG all the while thinking, 'He wants America to be like Russia, he wants to be another Putin.' The maggoty MAGA crowd worship him, but I've long thought they're being paid by someone. Thanks for this interview and for educating me about Project 2025, my suspicions were confirmed.

    Ruth Ben-Ghiat, I have been following Trump since he came down that escalator years ago. I could see the danger in him from the very beginning. But I have never heard of you. Writing may be your profession, but nobody reads articles any more. Especially the younger people. I don't mean teenagers I mean people in their 30's and 40's. I am in my 60's and I do not read articles. If you want to get your message out you need a U-tube channel or get on talk shows that are popular with the public. That's the truth Ruth. Times change.

    Decriminalizing domestic violence means men will resort to stalking and gang (organized/anonymous) stalking with impunity. Stalking can easily result in physical harm and just as importantly it can easily result in psychiatric holds because the women report being fallowed and harassed by strangers. This is very useful in custody battles. He movie Changling shows how psychiatry was weaponized in California in the 1940s.
