Benajmin Franklin signed the Declaration of Independence, and Joyce Vance quotes his observation that the framers of our Constitution gave us a Republic, "if you can keep it."
Can we? Joyce Vance suggests that there is a real question about that!
I have a great deal of respect and admiration for Joyce Vance, a former U.S. Attorney who is now writing a daily blog called, "Civil Discourse." Vance suggests, in her July 10, 2024, blog posting, that we should take seriously the agenda laid out in "Project 2025." Project 2025, as prepared largely by former staff members for then-president Trump, outlines the ways that Donald J. Trump, if elected as president in 2024, could dismantle what we think of as American democracy.
The Lincoln Project has issued a video presentation about Project 2025. Vance is recommending that we all watch it. I did.
Frankly, the Project 2025 video is hard to watch. Still, as Vance advises, we'd all better watch it. Former president Trump is hoping that we won't, and particularly that we won't believe that it would be possible for him to do all the things that the video says he will do, if he is put back into our highest office.
I am inclined to believe Joyce Vance, and she says: "Believe it!"
