Conservative Suggests 'De-Chartering' All Cities

The president of the organization that essentially invented second-term Trumpism isn't content with what the Trump administration has done, and what it intends to do, at the federal level. If you live in a big city in a red state, it wants your state to take away your right to self-governance.

Right Wing Watch reports:

Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts urged right-wing state legislators this month to “de-charter” liberal capital cities and replace them with “state municipal districts.” ...

"When we have cities like Austin, or Nashville, or other capital cities whose local government is not representative of the will of the people, de-charter them and establish them as state municipal districts in the name of common sense,” he urged.

Roberts called Austin, Texas his "adopted home town" and described it as "a once-great place that has been taken over by Marxists."

Roberts’ justification for this brazen attack on democratic self-governance? He claimed that the biggest threat to the Trump-Vance agenda, which is essentially the Project 2025 agenda promoted by Roberts and Heritage, is “that there are government entities that illegitimately are imposing something other than the American dream on their people.”
