From a comment on Mike Peterson’s CSOTD:Ultimately, the goal of Project 2025 and much of the Oligarchy is to destroy the American Dream. Investment groups buying up homes to raise prices forces many to become renters rather than home owners. Undermining funding for public education and scholarships removes opportunity, sticking many people with low level jobs and abusive bosses not only for them but for their children and grandchildren.
Racism, misogyny, and other institutionalized forms of bigotry further reduce opportunity. Remove the ability to teach about heroes who look like most of our population by defining that as “woke” and then only a subset of white males can be defined as heroes despite the achievements of everyone else.
Taking away basic needs also forces people to put up with deteriorating job, housing, health care, and education options.A feudal economy would largely secure the positions of the most wealthy by removing opportunity from the rest.
So, in summary: the actual target of destruction is the American Dream. Everyone affected negatively is collateral damage.

It’s not clear whether magats believe this is a good thing or that they are too stupid to figure out that it is happening.

Not that it matters which.
