Loyalty to one … sounds very 1930’s.

Sounds more like Handmaids Tale every minute.

As usual, the Nazis provided the closest precedents to Trumpworld.

Goebbels Ministry was charged with:
1) Propaganda
2) Volksaufklärung - Popular Enlightenment, which meant making great movies, art, music etc. that revealed Germany's superiority to its enemies.

Enlightening everyone took years.

Heller, J, 1961, 'Catch-22': "All the enlisted men and officers on combat duty had to sign a loyalty oath to get their map cases from the intelligence tent ... receive their flak suits and parachutes ... ride from the squadron to the airfield in one of the trucks."

More like casting for a dystopian movie starring #Trump #MakeAmericaGrimaceAgain

Sounds like Project 2025, smells like Project 2025 ...

It is a cult. That’s the way to
understand it

There might be no precedent, but there was plenty of warning - clearly articulated, too. I hope we don’t make the same mistake.

Now I fully realize what WTF means.

Sounds slightly McCarthy-ish ...
"Are you now or have you ever been Woke?"

Yet entirely predictable that the "free speech" absolutists will be oddly silent about this.

kateraindrops.bsky.social•34 days ago

This is seriously bad

carlton2020.bsky.social•34 days ago

imagine an entire public service of yes men (women obviously need not apply) too stupid to do their shoelaces up.

It is gunna be carnage and chaos.

Project 2025. Sigh.

nick-higgins.bsky.social•34 days ago

Surely *anyone* seeking a position with the Trump Admin would be a self-declared MAGA? No one with *any* reason or honour would even think of applying. Unless of course, they're a trojan horse and want to destroy it from the inside (in which case they'd lie through their teeth (like Trump does))...

good grief
