Buried deep within the pages of Project 2025's plan is a massive kill order, according to HuffPost.

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.

    There will be insanity if he’s allowed to run at all.

    There should be no way for people to participate in a democracy they have attempted to overthrow, and these fuckers are absolutely going to try again. It will be a shitshow. I hope the US justice system comes through, but it will be a very dangerous time for America if Trump and his cronies are not prosecuted for their crimes before the next election.

      Even if Trump gets prosecuted for 1/6 before the election, there is ZERO chance it’s completed before the election. There will be appeals carrying it on for YEARS.

      That being said too, there’s nothing in the charges that would disqualify him on conviction. There SHOULD BE, but there isn’t.

      Ideally I’d like to see Congress get their shit together and get a Constitutional amendment that says “Convicted felons are inelligible”.

      That would solve the problem right there. Convict him in the Stormy Daniels case, problem solved.

        No, I don’t think it would be good to strip felons of their ability to be president. People who protest too hard can get felonies. People who steal too many diapers and infant formula for their kids ($2k worth, which is lower threshold every year due to inflation) can get felonies. The felony system is deeply corrupt. We should restore felon’s right to vote.

        We need to fix the issues that elect someone deeply unpopular like Trump in the first place - like gerrymandering and uneven delegates. A vote should just be a vote. We should have approval voting (similar to ranked choice). More fascism isn’t the answer.
