Black Men Who Support Trump In Spite Of Project 2025!

To the financially struggling, Black men who are talking about voting for Donald Trump for President; they need to read the Heritage Foundation and the Republicans' 900 page, handbook, Project 2025. Gentlemen, before you pull the lever to vote for a multiple convicted Felon because you believe he is 'Just Like You', please read what the Project 2025 'manifesto' will take from our families and our communities:
Most government jobs will be privatized and given to cronies of the Republican Administration. The Civil Service Administration will be abolished. All civil service employees will be eliminated.
Social Security retirement program will be compromised or privatized.
SSI, Medicaid,, WIC, Section 8, TANF and other federal government assistance for poor people, will be abolished, defunded or decreased.
The federal, Public Education Department will be eliminated and each state will determine the funding as it relates to providing vouchers for all schools, including private, charter, military or religious schools. Remember: the right to a public education is not a given. Remember, it was advanced and support after the abolition of slavery. They did not mind that slaves were not able to read but they wanted to make sure that the formerly enslaved population could read well enough to support himself and his family.
Grants to curb gun violence, reduce homelessness, increase job training opportunities, improving the quality of education for our children and improve the health and well-being of poor people will be eliminated.
Books that documented and recorded the history and contributions of Black Americans and other minority cultural groups will be deemed offensive or incorrect, and will be pulled out of our schools and libraries and destroyed or burned.
Nonpartisan government agencies such as the FBI, CIA, HUD, and other alphabet named federal entities would be 'republicanized and people would be hired or fired based on the staff political affiliations.
Project 2025 will get rid of federal health programs, abolish pills to assist in family planning and concentrate more power in the Executive Branch of government.
Public unions will not be allowed on private construction projects.
Even though Donald Trump denied knowing anything about Project 2025, it is well known that over 140 of former President Trump's previous administration worked on crafting parts of this document that was being revised even though it has been around for years.
Black men, please remember the Saying: "Please don't cut off you nose in order to spite your face." President Clinton , Joe Biden and other politicians, many of them African Americans, encouraged and supported the move to mass incarceration of our young men and they were wrong. However, some of those previously jailed men are saying they are going with Trump in spite of the fact that he paid for a full page newspaper ad, calling for the death penalty and execution of five innocent men, in New York City, who are known as the Central Park 5.
I personally don't benefit from any of the programs listed, except Social Security, but I know a lot of people on FB and in this country who cannot make it without many of the assistance posted above. Please share this information with your block club, neighbors and family members. We must do whatever we can to save our community and our way of life.
The United States of America has an unique opportunity to elect an intelligent and qualified woman as President Of The United States. That candidate is our current Vice-President, Kamala Harris. It would be a shame for our Black men to hold their votes from her or to vote for a candidate, who is a 34 times, convicted felon and who has aligned with racists and people who are bent on destroying our democracy.
