called project 2025. dozens of conservative organisations have produced a plan for a new republican presidency. what we're doing is systematically preparing to march into office and bring a new army of aligned, trained, and, essentially, weaponised conservatives ready to do battle against the deep state. the idea is that this marching, weaponising and battling will be done at huge scale. axios reports project 2025 aims to install a pre—vetted pro—trump army of up to 5a,000 loyalists across government. that figure's not been confirmed, but it's worth putting it in context. in the united states, we already have 4,000 political appointees, and if you compare that to any other democracy in the world, it's a large, large, large number. in other words, to go from 4,000 to potentially tens of thousands of political appointees would take the us well beyond other western democracies. it would not be merit that
