  1. That’s not going to get people to force themselves to vote for Kamala though, realistically.

  2. And don’t be like Donald and claim to not know what it is! Educate yourself, family and friends!

    There are websites, videos, and articles out their giving all the details. Just Google it!

    There is no reason in this day and age of technology that one can’t find out information about something that could affect their lives in a horrible way.

  3. They’re horrifying and democrats are running around playing weekend at Bernies. Party campaigning that Trump is entirely made of lies telling their own, that despite what everyone can see when they don’t hide him Biden is not well enough for the office.

  5. > exactly how do you ‘disagree’ with something you ‘know nothing about’

    Gold, Jerry. Gold.

  7. Hard to overstate what a loser this project 2025 stuff is for the Democrats. If there’s a road to victory for Biden at this point it’s about convincing a bunch of people who *barely* care about politics to get up off the couch and go vote on election day and it’s hard to think of a worse tool for that than some policy paper from the Heritage foundation that only means anything to people who are already really invested in a certain kind of politics.  

    You can’t just project your own politics onto a group of people who, by definition, are not like you.

  9. Trump is the current useful idiot the people behind P2025 would like to use to *move forward faster* then they would with a more competent leader in place. The project doesn’t rely on Trump’s opinion of it, nor will it cease to be if he loses the next election.

    That said, the project aims to give a Conservative president near dictatorial powers, and Trump has made it clear that he would take that power if he could.

  10. I’m going to say this real loudly for everyone else who stopped paying attention to government in junior high: *PRESIDENTS ARE NOT KINGS THEY DO NOT WORK LIKE THAT*

    That being said, he will 100% support it while his administration and the GOP implement it because it benefits him and he’s a narcissist.

  11. Educate everyone you know in the simplest terms about how Trump and the Heritage Foundation will change their lives.

    Ask, first example, did you know Project 2025 ends birthright citizenship? That means that even if your great, great, great grandparents were born here, you could be unAmericaned at any point.

    Or: did you know that 2025 plans to ban OSHA? That means that if your company knowingly puts you in danger, you can’t sue. What if that happened and you ended up paralyzed? How would you and your family survive??

    Or: did you know that Project 2025 calls for government surveillance of your fertility? Do you want the government to track your period?

    The Heritage Foundation recommended 64 pieces of Trumps last policy decisions.The Foundation is staffed by his inner circle and directed behind the scenes by European Nazis. Conservatism is Trumpism, and we’re screwed if we don’t Vote Blue.

    Trump’s own Project 47 aligns with Project 2025, except it promises flying cars.

  12. I love seeing this spammed on reddit, but we all should be setting up Facebook accounts, reconnecting with family and spamming it there.

  13. His own people put Project 2025 together. A trump super pac is promoting Project 2025.

  14. It’s not Trumps, isn’t it the Heritage Foundations manifesto?

  15. This is the best tl;dr I could make, [original](https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/article/2024/jul/06/trump-project-2025-robert-reich#webview=1) reduced by 88%. (I’m a bot)

    > After the Heritage Foundation unveiled Project 2025 in April last year, when Trump was seeking the Republican nomination, he had no problem with it.

    > One key goal of Project 2025 is to purge all government agencies of anyone more loyal to the constitution than to Trump – a process Trump himself started in October 2020 when he thought he would remain in office.

    > Trump has repeatedly claimed that climate change is a "Hoax." Project 2025 calls for expanding oil drilling in the United States, shrinking the geographic footprint of national monuments, terminating clean energy incentives, and ending fossil-fuel regulations.

  16. Project 2025: modeled after the social reconstruction of Vlad the Impaler

  17. Might as well come to terms with it, it’s inevitable with Biden refusing to step aside. A majority of Democrat voters don’t think he’s capable to run the country for 4 more years. All these idiots and their pride, you’d think they’d learn after RBG and the way she screwed us.

  18. They’ve been trying to stick this on Trump for years now.

    I understand the Democrats are getting desperate and they’re digging up everything they have, but this isn’t going to work .

  20. I’m not . I’m tired of all you giving us this bogeyman from 2016 to 2024. Every 4 years we have to “save democracy “ what about giving us some substance to vote for instead of always some fear shit that if we don’t vote blue society will collapse. Just know Reddit is not the real world. Many people have there own opinions and can vote who they want to. With that said I didn’t vote in 2016. I vote Biden 2020 I even voted early. This year I will 100 percent vote for Donald Trump. Not because I like him or all his policies and not because I’m republican. But because even though it’s very small trump has more substance than Biden and Kamala put together. If you are an actual democrat you should be embarrassed by your party.

  22. * Banning no fault divorce. Not good.
    [Take it From a Divorce Coach and Attorney: Ending No-Fault Divorce Is a Scary Suggestion](https://msmagazine.com/2023/05/24/no-fault-divorce-women-republicans/)
    * Banning abortion with no exceptions. A woman’s function will solely be as a breeder. Woman’s life is secondary to fetus. Would a man say his life is secondary to anyone else’s?
    * Banning birth control. Women shouldn’t ‘enjoy’ sex without the repercussion of forced pregnancies and birthing. One baby a year and locked into marriage without no fault divorce.
    * Shutting agencies down: NOAA, FDA, EPA, Dept of Education, etc.
    * Firing federal employees and rehiring those who pass the loyalty test.
    * Banned books. Get hard copies & hide, because digital copies will be erased.
    * Ban on same-sex marriage. Children will be ripped from their homes once these marriages are delegitimized.

    These are just a few.

  23. This is a great headline. With him denying it we need to always call it Trump’s Project 2025

  24. Less federal employees? Ban on abortion? Kids can’t transition?

    No one who is going to vote for Trump gives a shit about Project 2025. The only people with great concern are those who “will vote for a rotten grapefruit before Trump!”

  27. From The Lincoln Project:
    We all have to remember who we’re dealing with. Liars surround themselves with liars, and convicts surround themselves with convicts (or potential convicts.)

    Began in the Reagan admin: Unitary executive theory . interpretation of the constitution where all exec power is under presidential control . Nothing in exec power independent

    Independent agencies will become under president power

    Examples:

    FED + FCC TV/media licenses + DOJ independent by norm, not law.
    Prosecute political or personal enemies, even if there is no proof of wrongdoing

    These are my notes on Project 2025

    Get rid of:
    Climate policy.
    Consolidate power.
    Federal Communication Comm under direct presidential control.
    Remove people from intelligence agencies they don’t like.
    Deport 30M people.
    Defund DOJ.
    Legal Action prosecute agents who don’t comply.
    Dismantle :
    FBI.
    Homeland Security.
    HHS.

    Schedule F would mean they can fire
    50000 jobs . They become politicized+they have staffers aligned weaponized conservatives vetted by Heritage Foundation ready to replace technocrats in the different gov entities

    Relive impounding to redirect money from liberal causes.

    Revive Comstock Act, a 19th-century law that would make it a crime to send contraceptives by mail.

    Pillars : religious overtone

    Conservative as focused god country and family, not government .

    Government now is directed against god, family, and this country .

    Restore the family as the centerpiece of American life and protect our children .

    Dismantle the administrative state and return self governance to the American people .

    Defend our nation’s sovereignty, borders, and bounty against global threats .

    Secure our god-given individual rights to live freely.

    Kevin Roberts HF:

    Project 2025 will not be ‘stopped,’” Roberts said in a statement. He said the Democrats fighting Project 2025 are “more than welcome to try. We will not give up, and we will win.”

  28. Imagine if the media actually did their job and were honest about how terrible Trump actually is. Biden could have full onset dementia and still be a better choice than the convicted felon, insurrectionists, pedophile, lying, incompetent wannabe dictator, narcissist, with their own cognitive decline. The list could go on and on. This isn’t a hard choice.

  29. Trump claims to know nothing about the people behind Project 2025, but he’s very familiar with The Heritage Foundation:

    https://www.youtube.com/live/-kX3TpC8xCE?si=sMmjPNEr90lqXfiF

    He also hired Heritage members Paul Winfree, Stephen Moore, James Carafano and Kay Coles James in his administration, among others.

    I’m sure implementing 2/3 of the Heritage Foundation’s 334 page “Mandate for Leadership” program during his presidency was just a coincidence, and he would never do the same for Project 2025.

  30. Anne Frank probably rollin over in her grave rn. We need to revisit Anne Frank diaries.

  31. Well, common sense should have been enough in 2016 – it was not.

    But sure, … keep asking yourself how the nazis could have assumed power in the 1930‘s.
    …if you were lucky enough to have been allowed to be taught… before book were banned…

    Americans aren’t ready for fascism in any way.
