Here's the theory, the chaos, the noise, and the nonstop outrageous actions of Trump's second term. They're not random. They are meant to divert attention from their real goal, and that goal is a planned resurgence of white supremacy in Project 2025 is the blueprint driving it forward. As the country becomes more diverse, those who benefit from the current system know that their voting majority is slipping. So they are rewriting the rules, deciding who gets citizenship, who is allowed to vote, and whose constitutional rights are protect. Season two breaks down how Project 2025 is being put into action.
