Hungarian partnerships to further a
right-wing fascist mission, including:
Steve Bannon, 2016
In recent years, a troubling trend has emerged in Western politics, with Hungary's Viktor Orbán providing a blueprint for authoritarianism that some American conservatives seem eager to follow.
Many dismissed Project 2025 as unrealistic or alarmist. However, as we delve deeper, we see the groundwork already laid in various states, signaling a shift towards this authoritarian vision.
We are closer to this authoritarian future than many realize.
The foundations are being laid, the blueprints drawn.
The question now is: will we recognize the danger before it's too late?
In Texas and several other states, strict abortion bans have been implemented with no exceptions for rape, incest, or even to save the life of the mother. This mirrors Orbán's conservative stance on reproductive rights. In Florida, Governor DeSantis signed laws restricting discussions of race, gender, and sexuality in schools. In Texas, we've seen the elimination of diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives in higher education, resulting in over 100 job cuts across university campuses. This echoes Orbán's reshaping of Hungary's education system to promote nationalist ideology.
Project 2025 includes proposals that could make election interference easier, such as restructuring oversight of election processes.
Trump says: "The election was rigged and stolen." Orbán says: "Democracy is not necessarily the best way to reach national goals." Project 2025 envisions a "Day One" scenario that includes invoking the Insurrection Act, allowing the president to deploy the military for domestic law enforcement
This echoes Orbán's use of emergency powers to consolidate control.
As we approach the 2024 elections, it's crucial for Americans to be aware of these potential threats to our democratic system.
Since its founding, the Heritage Foundation has become “inextricably intertwined” with Republican administrations and lawmakers in Washington. Heritage brands itself as a beacon of the intellectual conservative establishment; in reality, it is an organization that regularly spouts hateful ideas on par with organizations like the Family Research Council (FRC), which has earned designation from the Southern Poverty Law Center as a hate group. Much like its peer groups, Heritage dedicates significant energy to extremist policy recommendations that further white nationalism ideology and fascism. These extremist policy positions have had an outsized influence on the Trump administration. As reported in the New York Times Magazine, Heritage developed a massive database of conservatives — many of them current staffers or alums of the think tank — to staff the Trump administration. These individuals, who are connected to Heritage and currently serve in the administration, maintain relationships with the think tank and likely serve as back channels to influence policy — which has been closely mirrored between the two entities since Trump took office.
The Heritage Foundation is a conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C., founded in 1973. It aims to influence U.S. public policy by promoting conservative principles such as free markets, limited government, and traditional values.

The Heritage Foundation is a conservative think tank based in Washington, D.C., founded in 1973. It aims to influence U.S. public policy by promoting conservative principles such as free markets, limited government, and traditional values. However under the new President it has gone Far-Right to support Donald Trump and Hungary influence. Heritage Action for America, its sister organization, focuses on translating these principles into legislative action. They are striving for a "second American Revolution".,
The Heritage Foundation and the Danube Institute are working together towards a vision of conservative governance that emphasizes national sovereignty, far-right wing "traditional" values, and skepticism towards globalization and multiculturalism. Their collaboration aims to institutionalize these white nationalist isolation autocracy principles in both U.S. and European policies.
The Danube Institute, think tank in Hungary, was established by the Batthyány Lajos Foundation in 2013 in Budapest, with the aim of encouraging the transmission of ideas and people within the countries of Central Europe and the English-speaking world.

The Danube Institute, think tank in Hungary, was established by the Batthyány Lajos Foundation in 2013 in Budapest, with the aim of encouraging the transmission of ideas and people within the countries of Central Europe and the English-speaking world. It emphasizes the importance of the nation-state and traditional values in its policy recommendations. And they added a fourth commitment: exploring and extending the related concepts of democracy and patriotism. We believe that the nation-state offers the only sure foundation
MARCH 2023: Danube Institute and the Heritage Foundation signed a landmark cooperation agreement in February 2023, deepening Hungary’s transatlantic relations. The Heritage Foundation is one of the most prominent conservative research institutions in the United States and its new partner, the Danube Institute is one of the key conservative think tanks in Hungary and are gloating about their new U.S. Allies.

Later in April 2023, the far-right made public its plans for an ‘ideal’ America if Trump wins the 2024 presidential election in its 2025 Presidential Transition Project.
Project 2025 is spearheaded by: think tank Heritage Foundation, over 140 members of Trump's administration, cabinet members, Dictators Orban and Netanyahu, and supported by more than 80 organizations that are involved with Trump and the Danube Institution, many well-known for their extreme positions, and for pushing hate and Christian nationalism. The authors and supporters of Project 2025 claim this plan will “rescue the country” from “elite rule and woke cultural warriors.”
It is important to note the power this had as all red states/governors started implementing the plan without hesitation to further this fascist mission of the Right.
It has been widely reported, though denied, that internal Project 2025 discussions have centered around the next conservative president invoking the Insurrection Act on the first day in office to allow the military to quell civil unrest.
Project 2025 is a threat to our democracy, and we must treat it as such.

Several organizations from the Advisory Board list have connections to government officials, Trump, and Hungary.
Key figures and organizations include:
These connections highlight the extensive network of conservative organizations and individuals working together to promote shared values and policies, both in the U.S. and internationally.
Their efforts are controversial because they are seen as promoting a far-right agenda that includes elements of nationalism, isolationism, and autocratic governance. Critics argue that this undermines democratic values and promotes divisive policies.
.
Both organizations are involved in the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), which is a major annual gathering of conservatives in the United States. CPAC serves as a platform for these groups to promote their shared ideologies and policies.
Their shared interests include joint conferences and opposing anything that isn't their "ideal" America/World of White Nationalism

While the term "Freedom Cities" may sound positive, the potential implications and historical parallels raise significant concerns. The risk of forced relocation, surveillance, economic exploitation, and erosion of civil rights makes it essential to critically analyze and oppose any policies that could lead to such outcomes. Drawing lessons from history, it is crucial to remain vigilant and protect democratic values and human rights to prevent the establishment of environments that resemble historical concentration camps.
The proposals under Project 2025 and Agenda 47 represent a significant expansion of executive power with potential authoritarian implications. These measures could undermine democratic institutions, suppress dissent, and disproportionately impact marginalized communities. It is crucial for American voters to be aware of these implications and to protect democratic values and institutions. trump agenda 47 2024 election facts
Trump aims to dismantle or significantly reduce the power of federal agencies, including targeting the Department of Education and the Department of Homeland Security for major restructuring or elimination. Through executive orders and budgetary controls, he could reduce the scope and influence of these agencies, weakening regulatory oversight, reducing public services, and concentrating decision-making power within the executive branch. This centralization of control could undermine the checks and balances essential to democratic governance.
Trump is leveraging both Agenda 47 and Project 2025 to perpetuate election denial and manipulation in his bid to regain power. Trump's plan details how he and the GOP will question election legitimacy, and disenfranchise voters, particularly in marginalized communities. Together, these plans reflect a broader strategy to undermine electoral integrity and manipulate outcomes, raising significant concerns about the future of American democracy.
Trump plans to prioritize conservative judges for federal court appointments, reshaping the judiciary to align with conservative values. Through the Senate confirmation process, he could appoint judges who share his ideological views, leading to long-term shifts in legal interpretations affecting civil rights, environmental protections, and more. This could undermine judicial independence and result in a judiciary that is less balanced and more politically motivated.
Global Relations: Isolationist policies strain relationships with international allies and reduce the U.S.'s influence in global affairs. This can lead to a more unstable international environment.
Economic Consequences: Protectionist trade policies can lead to trade wars, harming American businesses and consumers by increasing costs and reducing market access. project 2025 trump agenda 47 2024 election facts
