When reading the often truth-averse commentary coming from various apologists for the current authoritarian regime, my assumption has been that they repeat familiar talking points with the knowledge that they arelying but nevertheless willingly volunteer to repeat the propaganda perhaps in deference to some imagined fulfillment of conservatism’s destiny. I have increasingly become aware, however, that some of these devotees have become completely untethered from reality and actually believe the lies in keeping with the current White House occupant who similarly fails to separate fact from fiction.
By contrast, the architects of Project 2025 are not delusional in this sense. They are perfectly aware of the lie and embrace it’s practice as simply a means to a ‘greater’ end; namely, the establishment of a unitary executive with plenary power under indefinite authoritarian/autocratic rule in service and subject to perennial corporate oversight. The ‘true believer’, as a loyal sycophant, becomes especially useful in the Project’s attempt to bring to an end the democratic model of self governance and replace it with their favored, autocratic system of societal organization. Such a gambit will always require pawns like these to facilitate the realization (however misconceived) of their dark purpose.
