Summary

Following Donald Trump’s election victory, Republicans are now openly embracing Project 2025, a policy agenda from The Heritage Foundation that outlines sweeping conservative reforms.

Despite Trump’s attempts to distance himself from the project during his campaign due to its extreme proposals—including expanded executive powers, a national abortion ban, stricter contraception limits, harsh immigration policies, and the elimination of agencies like the Department of Education—his allies quickly began celebrating its implementation.

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and commentator Matt Walsh publicly affirmed the agenda, signaling the GOP’s commitment to enacting these controversial policies in Trump’s second term.

    I’m so fucking done with this country man, people make me so tired of living. I’m so disappointed, and the amount of lives this orange fuck is going to destroy is so immense it’s just so depressing. and I hate living in a red state surrounded by idiots who genuinely think this is a good idea, and think I shouldn’t even have basic rights.

    I’m not sure I understand why they’re getting rid of the department of education? Why not change it? Why get rid of it entirely.

    If someone could ELI5 that shit, I’d be grateful.

      They don’t want there to be a tool to undo what they’ve done. If there’s no watchdog they can privatize education without worry that losing an election means a quick stop to what’s happened. The very first court argument against a democrat run government in 2028 would be that only the Dept of Ed had the statutory power to stop them.

            Idiocracy is the most unrealistic movie ever made. President Comacho has a problem, finds the most qualified person to solve it, listens to them (reluctantly) and then dosent take credit. That would never happen in any political reality.

      Funny you should mention that; just today I saw a house still flying a “Let’s go Brandon” flag. I thought it was stupid last year when I drove by there and saw it, but this is next level obsession. I guess there wasn’t enough time to find a “Kambala bad” flag.

        Every person that said " they just want abortion rights to be up to the states," was either ignorant, or an idiot. Unfortunately it doesn’t matter anymore, they fell into the I support fucking women’s rights category.

          Bs, he always lies. Him and Pence set out to destroy Roe v Wade, not because he wanted to, but because he thought it would get him a base of people who will not change their mind no matter how many people it hurts. He wants followers that will stab their family members to death to support his cause, which he doesn’t support, he just needs blind loyalty.

          Trump I guarantee you wanted abortion legal for his life, the guy frolicked around children beauty shows and flaunted it as if it was good. Epstein ties up the wazoo. Grab them by the pussy, they don’t mind. He wants immigrants to be able to come here, or his wife or his new friend Musk who defined himself as an illegal recently wouldn’t be here. It is fascism to the core. It’s shut the fuck up and do what I say and nothing else, even if you don’t agree and people you care about get hurt.

          Quite frankly, it’s terrorism by definition.

            Any conservative issues that are motivated primarily by religion, such as abortion, Trump doesn’t give a fuck about. He’ll just sign whatever they put in front of him. Things stemming primarily from racism or misogyny, though, he’s all for.

          a) wind up on a list

          b) don’t wind up on a list

          I’m not saying anyone should be killed, but I do believe saying such would get you put on a list in this country moving forward. I can tell you what list it is too. They will label it ANTIFA, and they already listed that group as terrorists. It isn’t hard to understand why people in a country riddled with threats wouldn’t speak out publicly in at such a time

          On a side note to get ahead of flack, yes I know that was a group in Germany that opposed fhe NAZI party. There were no official groups in the U.S., but still it managed to wind up on our terrorist list after Trump’s wild accusations about January 6th, who he now claims are the opposite. His fans… Who he supposedly wants to pardon. Not mentioning that they did every illegal act they were convicted of.

          It’s because he maintained plausible deniability, no bribes or kompromat necessary. Fact checkers couldn’t definitively say he supported project 25 because he feigned ignorance.
