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.

      Bad news

      Trump is amplifying the rhetoric overseas too

      So, he’s also ruining other countries too

    But the flyer I got attached to my door said Trump totally disavowed it! Would a flyer attached to my door lie?

    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.

        Trump’s lawyers argued successfully in front of SCOTUS that a president could assassinate their political opponent.

          …As long as the courts decide it’s an “official act,” ending with the SCOTUS itself. Nothing Biden did would ever be deemed an official act by them.

      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.

      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.

          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

        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.
