While Project 25 does have extremism in it, it is a stretch to claim that destroying the economy, and standard of living, has enough conservative anti-elite benefits that compensate for destroying both economy and electoral politics. There will be no manufacturing investment in US under a depression.

They just won't hold (fair) elections this time, and use the military against US citizens, or at least they hope so.
