We are so focused on Donald Trump that we sometimes miss the bigger picture.  Donald Trump saw an opportunity when he realized that by unifying the various elements of the conservative movement he could propel himself higher in the national spotlight.  But Donald Trump is just an opportunist, and he certainly isn’t the brains behind the far-right movement.  Other people wrote Project 2025, and those individuals are the power-players behind the scene who are fulfilling the conservative agenda through the Presidency of Donald Trump.  Trump uses them, and they use Trump.  When Donald Trump is no longer President, the people who attached themselves to his power will not disappear.  They could become even more effective under the leadership of somebody else who is dangerously competent.  We must continue to resist the actions of the current administration, but we should not be deceived into believing that everything will revert to normal when this President leaves office.  The backers of the current far-right conservative movement have tasted unbridled power and they won't give it up easily.  Those of us in the Progressive Movement need to face the reality that our fight to save Democracy is just beginning, and will likely take a long time.
