The Presidential election could not come soon enough. We are now less than one week away from officially deciding our future as a nation. And if you’re an undecided voter, or if you think you already know, I ask that you just please consider this when it comes to electing the president, we’re deciding between two things. One is largely maintaining the status quo with possibly a touch of progress in terms of protecting individual rights, advancing small businesses and uplifting the lower class. And the second thing is project 2025 if you’re unfamiliar with this political initiative that GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump will advance if he returns to Office, you should be aware Here are six things that you should take note of when it comes to project 2025 first, this initiative centralizes power in the executive branch, restructuring how federal agencies operate with an emphasis on Reducing checks and balances. Checks and balances are the fundamentals of our democracy. So that would chip away at our democracy and our processes, and it would also take power away from Congress and other institutions. That’s exactly what our founding fathers sought to avoid. And on that note, Project 2025, will also weaken regulatory agencies, abolishing some even and these agencies, while they’re essential as they protect public health, consumer rights, labor standards, so that could lead to an increased corporate influence and also reduced oversight on issues like workplace safety, consumer protection and environmental safeguards. Do you want your employer to be able to force you to work 12 hour days in order for it to be considered full time, or maybe craft to get to choose whether to disclose chemicals that they put in their food? Third project 2025, reverses climate policies. It dismantles environmental regulations, including climate change initiatives, this will slow or reverse progress on mitigating climate change, potentially leading to greater environmental degradation and global instability with temperatures rising globally, that is dangerous. Did you experience hurricane alim or see the damage that was done? Do you want more of that? I can tell you that I don’t. Fourth project 2025. Will roll back civil rights, civil liberties, immigration policies, LGBTQ rights, these hard won protections will hit us, marginalized people hard. Yeah, it’s going to reverse decades of progress on human rights and equality. But add to that, even non marginalized people will suffer as they’re going to see the reversal of basic things like the right to contraception or access to pornography. Do you want the government up in your business or cutting off only fans? Because project 2025 will do that. And fifth the far right initiative, well, it will dramatically overhaul the federal workforce project 2025 it will implement loyalty based hiring and firing practices, prioritizing individuals who align with certain ideological beliefs. This politicization of the civil service will erode impartial governance and lead to inefficiencies and absolute corruption. And so if you think it’s bad now, oh my goodness, when the head of the Department of Transportation gets to hire his little brother’s new company to oversee highway reconstruction, you’re really going to experience the pain. And lastly, Project 2025 will erode international relations. The game plan there is to prioritize an isolationist foreign policy, and that looks like reducing commitments to international alliances like NATO and the Paris Agreement and other multilateral efforts, this is going to destabilize global cooperation and also reduce US influence on the world stage when it comes to shaping international policies, trade agreements, geopolitical strategies and speaking of trade agreements, isolating from global Markets, that disrupts our access to essential goods, creates shortages and increase costs for businesses and for consumers, we’ll be cut off at a costly price. So we’ll basically be Cuba without universal health care. None of that is good project 2025. Will not streamline government or reduce bureaucracy or enhance our national sovereignty? No, it’s going to be a harmful initiative that will significantly shift us toward more of an authoritarian government, roll back our civil liberties, disregard pressing global issues and also isolate us on the geopolitical stage. That is not something I want, and I’m wise enough to know that if I go to the ballot box that I need to choose someone who doesn’t want that either, and that individual is Kamala Harris. And so when you go vote in November, it’s imperative that you remember that if you don’t want the government in your business, that you want to continue to have the right to choose. Choose what you do in your bedroom and you like, let’s say, getting limes from Mexico without having to pay $6 for them, then maybe you shouldn’t be voting for Donald Trump, because project 2025, is a problem.
