"...just how far into the Twilight Zone we've traveled politically."
And the KochLeo Heritage Society Project 2025 Trump transition plan will take us there at warp speed. 180 days to dismantle the entire Executive Branch. And rebuild it in KochLeo's image as administering a corporate clerical fascist state. As is being done by the KochLeo captured courts. (Gorsuch's mother was Reagan's EPA head. And ahead of her time. Her zeal in dismantling the EPA was so extreme and corrupt that she was forced to resign.)
Bill Barr made his GOP bones as cleaner for GHW Bush, getting pardons for convicted and indicted Iran Contra criminals. It's why he was brought back for Trump. Barr's also another Federal Society religious extremist. The 'unified executive' autocracy is in a way, a return to the Divine Right of Kings. Many in MAGA believe Trump is not only the anointed but Christ reincarnated as some RamboJesus and 2024 a literal Second Coming. They talk of themselves as Crusaders for Trump. Onward Christian Soldiers, indeed.
As AG Barr infamously quoted John Adams “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.” Implying that only the godly get constitutional rights. Preferentially those unborn or born again. Elsewhere, John Adams writes "The Government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian religion."
The Federalist Society's greater purpose is to obstruct the Federal government's regulatory authority. In the name of God, and in the service of greed, Federalist Society jurists are bent on obstructing government's ability to regulate commerce, administer equitable taxation, and provide essential and emergency services. And because the majority of voters disagree, these right wing extremists are bent on overturning equality before the law and equal representation to achieve their purpose.
This election is about democracy vs. fascism. Period. The statement "When fascism comes to America, it will be draped in the flag and carrying the cross" is spot on.
The Federalist Society has been highly effective infiltrating our wheels of government and shifting our laws, using our democracy to overturn our democracy. Most troubling now is the significant support MAGA is experiencing from the voting public. The Democrats must run an effective and persuasive messaging campaign to arrest this toxic political pandemic infecting our body politic.
And somehow we need to convince those inclined to treat voting as a purity test exercise in personal expression, that voting is a united tactic to take government power.
Right wing voters held their nose to win the Supreme Court. And they did.
Leonard Leo has expanded his efforts (ie Koch et al money) to The Teneo Network or what he's termed 'a Federalist Society for everything that's messed up in American society.' By which he means all progress on government regulation, social safety net, and civil rights protections in over a century. An end to Teddy Roosevelt's Square Deal, FDR's New Deal, LBJ's Great Society, ObamaCare. And specifically targeting equal protections for LGBTQ+ persons.
The far-right ownership of vast media networks including Fox have been successful talking heads, expanding lies, propaganda, and influence over large segments of the population. The cyberattacks from China and Russia aid in this effort. Biden's negative ratings have in part resulted from the false narratives from the talking heads "news flashes". Developing a strategy to provide a counter reality is a daunting challenge. I do hope the Democratic power brokers are up for the task. The unraveling of the New Deal and the subsequent progressive legislation has been in the crosshairs of these far-right actors for quite a while now as you mentioned with Federalist Society, Koch, Mercer, Council for National Policy, etc. Once thought to be the third rail of politics, Social Security, Medicare, and civil rights protection are being boldly assaulted. The brazened political assaults and lies by GOP politicians, immune to any optics or consequential fallout, speaks to the confidence and power felt by them.
Whew! Heritage Foundation essentially says they were caught off guard by Trump's 2016 win. Project 2025 is their response. Right down to the CVs of loyalists at every level. Their wrecking crew is ready.
That manifesto completely dismantles our rules, our laws and disregards our Constitution. These are dangerous zealots cannot operate effectively if we deny them their voices and that’s why it is so important to reelect Biden-Harris. If you believe in democracy, which these men do not, then it is up to us and only us to make certain that we band together as one!

Please don't help them.
Vote Biden or elect Trump.

Proceed until apprehended.
It's our job to stop them.
