WASHINGTON (AP) — With more than a year to go before the 2024 election, a constellation of conservative organizations is preparing for a possible second White House term for Donald Trump, recruiting thousands of Americans to come to Washington on a mission to dismantle the federal government and replace it with a vision closer to his own.

Led by the long-established Heritage Foundation think tank and fueled by former Trump administration officials, the far-reaching effort is essentially a government-in-waiting for the former president’s second term — or any candidate who aligns with their ideals and can defeat President Joe Biden in 2024.

With a nearly 1,000-page “Project 2025” handbook and an “army” of Americans, the idea is to have the civic infrastructure in place on Day One to commandeer, reshape and do away with what Republicans deride as the “deep state” bureaucracy, in part by firing as many as 50,000 federal workers.

“We need to flood the zone with conservatives,” said Paul Dans, director of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project and a former Trump administration official who speaks with historical flourish about the undertaking.

Trump is not a conservative.  He is a self-worshipping ego-maniac wannabe autocrat.

Conservatives want the Federal Government, and its agencies, to have less power and influence in the daily lives of Americans.

Trump wants absolute power to abuse Federal Government to exact retribution upon his enemies, poltical and personal.

Trump will dismantle our Constitutional Federalist checks and balances so he can treat every American like hired help.

Years ago, the AP used to be a news wire service.  Now it's become a fellatio station for self serving socialist.

Everyone get ready, it's drain the swamp 2.0!

Heritage needs to hang its hat on someone else.

Heck, considering what "The US government" has become, I kinda like that idea...

I can think of nothing that would give me more pleasure than seeing the nonmilitary portion of fedgov at about 1/3rd it's current size!

I'd settle for a few agencies to go away.

Good Grief dude. You just described Obama perfectly, along with Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, Wray, Newsom and dozens of other Democrats.

Take a chill pill and look again at what you posted. You have the right idea, but you are pinning it on the wrong guy, and on the opposite Party of all this.

Tumpy was a dim about 20 years ago, and no doubt in my mind is a trojan horse.  Haven't you seen his new positions on Freedom Cities that might cost us taxpayers $15T?  His positions are more like FDR than Reagan.

He is just as deserving our our scorn as the POS dims you listed.

I could walk through every building in Washington firing two out of three that I encountered and NOBODY would miss them!

Yeah but they all work remote.  All you would hit is rotten fruit and yogurt that has an expired date of 2030

That's nothing but a fair start @Bigun
