    Remember how during the election campaign he had sign-up forms for the maga loyalists who attended his rallies and were interested in working for his government?

    This is the next step in that plan. The first step was having Musk and his DOGE lackeys gut the federal government of anyone who was employed in areas they didn’t like, it those who might be critical of them.

    Now they are moving to step 2: they are going to use subs of the freed-up wages from those lost positions to flood the federal government with their loyalist grunts. And ICE is the perfect place for most of them. These people will get to strut around in their armed forces paraphernalia, persecuting immigrants and people with darker skin than them.

    I’m surprised I haven’t seen any mention of those rally sign-up forms anywhere recently. But this is all part of a wider plan.

      This is the first I’ve heard of sign-up forms. Got a link for that?

      Still, though, there are all those Jan 6’ers who already committed violence for this man once, and they were rewarded for it. I think it’s certainly they will sign up to do violence for him again.

        Here’s a link from a December 2024 article. It mentions how the people behind Project 2025 had an online questionnaire. I remember reading somewhere that I’m addition to being an promoted on maga web sites, the questionnaire was also heavily promoted at Trump’s rallies. I can’t find a link on that now, but it makes perfect sense that’s one of the places where they’d be advertising it and gathering names. It would be a very effective way of reaching those people.

        Pertinent parts of this article, which again was published before he was sworn in, include:

        Among Donald Trump’s many disconcerting campaign promises is a pledge to fire tens of thousands of federal employees and replace them with loyalists.

        Project 2025’s online questionnaire for landing job in the next Trump administration asks about the influences on applicants’ “political philosophy.” According to one alumnus of the first Trump administration, the idea is to “see that you’re listening to Tucker, and not pointing to the Reagan revolution or any George W. Bush stuff.”

        He still has no plan. This is somebody else’s plan, and they just whisper it into Grandpa’s ear and let the dementia do the rest.
