A conservative plan for Donald Trump’s potential transition into the presidency calls for dozens of prisoners to be executed, according to HuffPost. An 887-page plan by Project 2025, led by the ultra-conservative Heritage Foundation, says that if elected, Trump should make a concerted effort to execute the remaining 40 prisoners on death row. The section’s author, attorney Gene Hamilton, advised that Trump “do everything possible to obtain finality” on the current list of people until Congress forces them to stop. Hamilton is the vice president of America Legal First, a group of former Trump lawyers bent on attacking “woke” companies, headed by Stephen Miller. Trump’s approach to the death penalty stands in stark contrast to that of President Joe Biden, who has openly opposed the death penalty, but done little to move forward legislation to reform or abolish the practice since entering office.

For those of you not in the know Project 2025 is Republicans plan to turn the USA into an authoritarian state.

    I’m not saying we take to the streets with weapons

    Then you’re doing nothing but shilling for the gun lobby, who immediately donate millions to the worst Republicans.

    If you’re going to advocate guns, you should be willing to tell people what to use them for.

      I mean that’s a pretty stupid thing to say considering everyone knows you’ll get your comment removed and probably also your account banned for explaining what should actually be done, what should actually be being done, right now. Maybe eventually everyone will get mad enough that mods will stop standing in the way of what needs to happen, but by then they’ll have pulled the plug on the internet anyway…

        It’s a federated platform, if you feel like the mods are standing in the way then leave to another instance.

        What a joke you are. Are we actually supposed to pretend your guns are more than cosplay props when you’re not even willing to risk being banned from anonymous social media to advocate your cause?

        Well I’m not scared of being banned, so take your guns and your pro-gun astroturfing and fuck off.
