  1. Look, as long as Biden does his goodest, if he loses it will all be fine.

  2. Why is project 2025 all over reddit all of a sudden? We’ve known about this shit forever.

  3. It’s not fear mongering. we already see the fruits of this supreme court. Abortion. Chevron. Immunity. And now you have an inspired Oklahoma and Louisiana actively trying to dissolve separations of church and state.

    These are people who will go the distance to try to dominate your life. They believe they are divinely elected to be, more or less, the masters of your future. No. It’s not fear mongering to spread the truth about what they are and what they want. These lunatics want a stranglehold on your life down to the ‘jot and tittle.’

  4. What is the obsession with no fault divorce. I saw that as part of the project 2025 agenda.

  6. He wants to send trans people to camps and forcibly detransition us. I’ve been scared.

  7. It isn’t trump’s, it’s republicans in general. Trump is absolutely on board with it, but this is the plan if any republicans get enough power again

  8. Nobody realizes how bad it is , so no one is actively doing anything about it. Let’s hope there is not a 2nd Trump regime!!

  9. People keep gaslighting us by saying Trump has nothing to do with it…

  10. The president, Kevin Roberts, wants to increase kids families have. I’m sure they assume reducing divorce will further this, which is insane. He wants the US to be a non-Democracy like Hungary: the most corrupt and poor in the EU with a ton of people LEAVING due to lack of freedom and facism. Hungary and Russia have had yhe dame population for the last 40 years because no one wants to live there if they dont have to. We’re going to be stuck with dumb white supremacists that can’t fulfill job needs because all the smart people left

  11. Republicans*

    He’s not the only one involved in it. Your vote matters in every election, at every level. Do your due diligence when casting your vote.

  12. Anyone who votes trump or supports this is the problem with our country

    I swear people don’t understand this would destroy so much and not be good for our country

  13. Tbh I dont understand how they think it wont backfire. Even if we ignore the culture war parts, some of the things in there would just ruin the economy.
    There is a point of no return in an economy where so much wealth is accumulated at the top that nothing works anymore. You need regular people spending to keep it running.

    Who is the major meat packer that co-wrote it? Dropping almost all quality regulations on meat for interstate commerce seems like a bad idea. The entire part about meat feels like it is designed to drive small farmers out of business and buy them out.

    Sure monompolies are fun for a while, and not having to pay your workers for healthcare is nice too when you can easily fire and replace them. But at some point they are going to run out or rebel.

  14. No, people should be afraid that it’s NOT Trump’s “project”, it’s the project of ethnonationalists who want to take over the country and make it some kind of terrible reflection of the hate they have for others.

  15. The denial on project 2025 amongst the right is palpable. Trump said he has nothing to do with it so everyone must believe him. Well in that case. Biden says he’s fine so everyone must believe him. Well here is proof. … Nah we don’t care. …Welp we’re all screwed

  16. Trump knows what his base really wants, and he is eager to satisfy them. People wonder: trump reneged on virtually all his major promises why did he get even more votes in 2020 than he did in 2016.

    The truth is that trump was very faithful in delivering one area of his promise – the discriminatory policies, like banning Muslim (day one), family separation, nominating all the right wing judges who went on to overturn women rights and civil rights and allow integration of government and Christian fundamentalism, banning transgenders in military, pardoning racist murderer in the military who murders Iraqi children in cold blood, revoking title IX policy to protect sexual assault victims in school, broadening ice authority to capture and deport undocumented people who have been living in the US for years, changing census to not count some residents, cutting back on civil right enforcement in DOJ, planned parenthood, legal aids, building border walls etc. He approved all sort of people who gained fame because of their racist or sexist actions.

    Yes trump reneged on things like replacing ACA with something better and cheaper, reducing deficits, improving infrastructure, etc. Those are not what his base truly want or are not high enough priority for his base. They were said to deceive moderates and democrats, to convince them to vote for him or to stay home.

    Look at his cabinet and his close circle. The ones who were out were mostly people who were unwilling to go as cruel and as corrupt as he wants, or the ones who reveal his involvement in the criminal or immoral schemes. The ones who stay are those who are cruel and take the heat for his cruelty or corruption.

    I ask people to look at the one person who stood out in his first presidency. He is Stephen Miller. He was the architect of Trump immigration policies in his presidency. He pushed through all policies like children separation, Muslim bans, etc. He stayed in Trump close circle throughout his first term and he will be even more powerful if trump is elected again.

    He is one of the authors in project 2025. Whatever Miller wants, Trump will adopt. This is because Trump’s base want the cruelty. Trump wants the cruelty. It’s his path to stay in power. The lesson he learned in his first presidency is that he wasn’t cruel enough.

  17. At the end of the day, Trump is just a trojan horse for white nationalists and other assorted flavors of extremist bigots.

    When they get that Schedule F plan into plan, everyone in the government will be Steve Bannon.

  19. You should be horrified and unwaveringly committed to open resistance, defiance, and sabotage.

  21. We should all be real fucking furious about it, too. Get mad, people. Get your family mad. Get your friends mad.

    And get out and fucking vote.

  22. It isn’t Trump’s. Have we lost sight of this *again?* Trump is a tool in all this. Project 2025 belongs to conservatives and their representatives. Trump is just the Republican party’s current best shot at getting the Project rolling.

    If and when we beat Trump? We’ll be doing this shit again in four years. And every four years after that, until the Republican party and their voters give up on this idea that this country belongs to them alone.

  23. vote blue if you still want to be FREE and not living under a dictatorship

  24. All of us? What if I’m a white male billionaire misogynist bigot pedophile?

    Will no one think of them?

  25. Trump doesn’t actually care about Project 2025. As long he can use the office of the Presidency to keep himself out of prison and further enrich himself, he will leave the staffing and heavy lifting to others. Trump is nothing more than a Trojan horse for those behind Project 2025.

  26. Frankly Project 2025 needs far more attention and concern from the collective American body

  27. There are far smarter, devious types behind the scenes that use the simpleton Trump as a puppet. Stroke his ego and strip woman’s reproductive rights.

  28. Im not terrified im angry and motivated to vote and donate to President Biden

  30. All project 2025 is the Koch brother reality put to practice

  31. They are banking on it all being too late before the general public wake up to the danger. Once they get power it is game over, they don’t give a fuck beyond that point they will just do whatever they want.

    Overnight America will turn into the Christian version of Iran, in exactly the same way that old-Iran turned into modern Iran almost overnight.

    Republicans have absolutely played a bait and switch game with their followers; most of their voters have zero idea of any of this and large numbers would hate it.

  32. Project 2025 is a comprehensive conservative policy blueprint for the next Republican administration, spearheaded by the Heritage Foundation and supported by over 100 conservative organizations.

    **Scope and Purpose:**

    It’s a 920-page document outlining conservative priorities across various government sectors.
    The project aims to provide a ready-made agenda for Day One of a potential Republican presidency.

    **Key Proposals:**

    * Significant restructuring of federal agencies, including potential elimination of some.

    * Redefining executive branch authority and reducing the scope of smaller government agencies.

    * Reinstating Schedule F, potentially affecting many federal workers by making it easier to terminate them.

    * Removing diversity, equity, and inclusion language from federal documents.

    * Defunding abortions in certain federal programs and reversing FDA approval of abortion pills.

    **Controversial Aspects:**

    * The project has been criticized for promoting extreme conservative agenda.

    * Heritage Foundation president Kevin Roberts made controversial remarks about a potential “second American Revolution.

    * Democrats acknowledge it as a blueprint for authoritarian governance and are actively working to counter it.

    **Trump’s Stance:**

    * Despite initial endorsement, Trump has recently tried to distance himself from Project 2025.

    * He claims to know “nothing about Project 2025” and disagrees with some of its proposals.
    This disavowal contradicts the fact that many former Trump officials are involved in the project.
