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.

        They’ll blame Barack Harris for the crumbling of the US while the republicans dismantle it actively in front of them, while they point at the democrats for letting it happen.

            They’re already doing it. More than half the United States’ voters this year just elected a man who lied about fumbling the pandemic, who lied about having the most secure border and the best economy, who lied about the insurrection he very clearly instigated, and has lied about his policies and political stances form day one (health care, abortion rights, you name it) and people are accepting, if not believing, what he’s saying. This is doublespeak right in front of our eyes. They’re lying right now, and they’ll lie later when they start attacking our basic human rights and start rounding up our friends and their political opponents. And we’ll accept it, if not believe it.

      Once she gets her benefits slashed be sure to talk about how great the Republicans are and isn’t she glad she got what she wanted with her vote? Thank goodness trump got rid of that pesky public assistance, that was costing the rich real money.

      I’ve been listening to interviews and most people think Trump won’t do what he says he will, much less something that he says he won’t. It’s unbelievable.

        • 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.

                  ? You were describing your experiences, what are you talking about?

                  Edit: you see how someone asked you a question and you created a “people” when they were asking a simple question, that’s how I know you are easy to accept defining mass groups of people into groups with no conclusive information. Like racisism and sexism. You shoveled your own shit there

        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.

        Same I know first time Trump voters who believed him when he said he distanced himself from project 2025. I don’t know why anyone would believe him when most of the shit he says is a lie. The only true things he’s said are that he wants to be a dictator and punish his enemies.

          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.

            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.

        This is why Project 2025 intends to ban abortion and limit contraceptives. They want to proliferate their voter base.

    • I fully believe Trump when he says

      “I haven’t read it. I don’t want to read it purposely. I’m not going to read it.”

      Note, he didn’t say he would stop other people from executing the plan.

      It’s not like they’ve gone through any pains to hide it. Honestly, he stood on stage and shouted it at people. He said it directly to the press.

      I’m not sure he could have tried any harder to tell them exactly what his plan was and who he is.

      He didn’t win despite who he is; he won because of it. He won because his base is that awful.

      Have you seen none of the flyers/banners that popped up this election? The fact that he’s a felon is celebrated. The fact that he’s a rapist is celebrated. The fact that he openly speaks against overtime pay is celebrated. Fuck, even his divorces are celebrated. He could literally shoot someone in the face at a rally, and it would just boost his support.

      He’s Homelander, but fat and without superpowers.

    • They’ll find some way to blame Dems for anything that becomes too unpopular, and their base will willingly buy into it to avoid responsibility - until something bites them personally. It’ll take far too long for it to affect enough of them personally to save the rest of us with some semblance of rationality, though.
