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.

      Sadly yes, I told many people about it and they all said “Trump’s not going for it, he rejected it, that’s just fear mongering”

      Bastards

        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.

        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.

      One of my family members actually said that they wouldn’t vote for P25. I told them it was a platform, not an item on a ballot… confused looks.

      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.

      Yes, my MAGA family members bought Trump’s line of “I don’t know who is involved in that”.

      Factcheck and similar ones always claimed that Trump supporting project 2025 was Fake or needs context

        I have a feeling someone paid good money for Snopes and similar sites. Or have some kompromat on rheir editors.

          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.
