  3. GOP realizes they shouldn’t have been planning this out in broad freaking daylight. Too little, too late.

  4. Seriously, everyone, at least review the bullet points. This is a dystopian nightmare that is so close to coming to a head.

  5. Business Insider: Is p2025 actually good for business? This is how it’s Biden’s fault.

  6. A message worth [reposting](https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/comments/1drfvae/magas_eruptions_of_rage_at_cnn_reveal_why_project/lauy8t0/)

    Project 2025 will launch a very real post-truth era. Right now, FBI crime statistics are pretty damned reliable. A largely independent group of career government workers put it together. It doesn’t matter to them whether they show crime going up or crime going down; they keep their job either way. As such, we can be reasonably certain that crime, in fact, has gone down because FBI crime stats say so.

    But under Project 2025, all those career government workers cease to be independent. Trump can fire them if they produce a report showing crime going up under him. So, what’ll they likely do? They’ll fudge the numbers. And the same shit can happen with all the data that’s produced by independent governmental agencies. They could show national inflation decreasing, release false reports about average income, make up estimated war casualty numbers, falsify hurricane death tolls, invent global cooling, and disseminate reports of widespread voter fraud. Essentially, the government could become right wing news propaganda.

    Independent governmental agencies produce some of the most important and credible data points there are. We can’t really replace their level of objectivity and reliability in the private sector. If Trump wins, we very much could be looking at a scenario where you cannot determine the truth.

  7. Question: has project 2025 been translated to Spanish? I was thinking of translating it. I am not from the US, but I figure a lot of Spanish Speaking voters could benefit from said information. I have tried looking for said efforts but found nothing, and I am frankly surprised and concerned no translation efforts have come up easily.

    If anyone can guide me to any done or undergoing efforts, heck I am willing to help.

    Trump would literally send the world to hell. No way I want that to happen.

  8. The irony is that Project 2025 won’t even be a good thing for republican voters. Everyone looses and only fundamentalist Christians win.

  9. Not voting for Biden in the General Election is essentially a vote for Christian Theocracy. All the righteous indignation and fantasies of moving the Democrats further left doesn’t change this.

  10. I’m glad folks are now reading about this and paying attention to it, but the Heritage Foundation has put out 8 previous mandates for leadership (which is what Project 2025 is) since 1981. This election cycle’s document was released in April 2023. None of this should be new or shocking.

    The question we should be asking isn’t “what is Project 2025?” But rather, “how do we more consistently get mass media to properly inform voters without relying on things going viral?” And “What else have we missed?”

  11. “Raising a lot of eyebrows?” Wtf is this, paid PR spin? It’s the plan for an overthrow of democracy. Time to force an end to mega corporate media monopoly ownership.

  12. Project 25 is take over of USA by Trump and his secret organization

  13. It’s a fucking Fascist manifesto, what’s soo hard to understand.

    We are fucked if the royal dunce and his party of bootlicking, cross kissing lapdogs take over

  14. There is nothing “conservative” about this. We need to stop misusing that word.

  15. Project 2025 is just the beta test version of Idiocracy.

    “Welcome to Costco, I love you”

  18. Neo-fascist playbook should raise eyebrows. My flag waving conservative neighbors have some legitimate grievances, and they have no idea that they are voting for fascism.

  19. Let’s remember that Trump’s main method of manipulation is exhausting the news cycle. He throws so much shit at the wall that nothing sticks in the memories of the general public. Anyone who wants to see a fair election in this country again needs to make sure we keep project 2025 fresh in everyone’s minds through the rest of 2024 and into January 2025.

  20. You are fucking kidding me.. HOW ARE YOU JUST FINDING OUT ABOUT THIS?!
    Do all of these politicians have their head up their asses?

  21. Some republicans hopefully get their “wait; are we the baddies?” epiphany and break off the Trump Herd

  22. GOP: oh no, we aren’t going to pursue this. But we *will* determine our platform behind closed doors *AND* give top priority of administration positions to those who authored Project 2025.

  23. Raising eyebrows? More like mouth agape at an established think tank completely and unabashedly bullet-pointing their fascism. Wow.

  24. Yeah. Well maybe people are finally figuring out that this could happen now.

  25. It’s wild to me that the media is only focusing on this now.
    As soon as I heard that the GOP wanted to put homeless people in internment camps, I was like, “Hey, excuse me, look. Do you see this incredibly evil thing? Hellooo.”

  27. It’s funny watching the conservative sub panic and twist themselves into pretzels now that it’s getting attention, they’re loudly pushing any news articles about Trump disavowing Project 2025, because they know it’s a deeply unpopular platform that could sink his campaign.

  28. Do you really think he would not do a complete 180 degree reversal on what he is now saying ?
    This vile POS liar will say what ever now to achieve the end goal to get voted back into office now that he would have absolute immunity .

  29. if project 2025 want to make recreational sex illegal, what are the moms for liberty folks gonna do for their threesomes?

  31. This is what happens when your party has zero policy positions, no platform or new ideas or *anything.* The void gets filled.

  32. Bro people on the conservative subreddits are saying Project 2025 isn’t real or that it’s a Democrat hoax. Even when you point out that it’s the fucking Heritage Foundation they feign ignorance still or say “I ain’t reading 900 pages of anything”. Like they’re so proud of their ignorance and won’t even read their own party’s political strategy plans.

    The ones that are informed about it either say “Hell yeah, bring on the Christian Fascism! It’s what this country needs!” and the others say “It’s mostly good, they just won’t be able to pass the bad stuff.” Holy fuck man, their responses to this are abysmal no matter which way they go.

  33. No. The idea that Republicans aren’t 100% committed to project 2025 is a fucking lie

  34. They expect to implement it within 90
    days after Trump wins. It’s frightening now Trump is disavowing any knowledge of it, like he has any credibility at all. He knows all about it especially the deregulation of big businesses and eliminating many government agencies. He has already told his millionaire backers they are going to get what ever they want from him. The rest of the agenda is pleasing the zealot Christians who will vote for him. Hypocrisy at its finest .
