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.

    Anyone who thought different, who thought “Project 2025” was off the table because Trump said so!: You are idiots who should not be allowed to touch anyhing that could break, and you better not breed.

      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.

          Honestly, I’d take it over what we have now, or are about to get. Those people were at least smart enough to elect the best candidate.

            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.

            My wife was de-uterized a few years back (mostly for other reasons), but it’s been the best.
