"Can we admit now that we're going to implement Project 2025?"

Project 2025 describes itself as “a policy agenda, personnel, training and a 180-day playbook” to be initiated on “day one” of the next Republican presidency. It outlines several agenda items including law proposals, laws to revoke and government agency restructuring.

While the Trump campaign separated itself from Project 2025, Trump’s name is mentioned over 300 times throughout the document.

Some of its specific directives include:

[bold]An overhaul of the Department of Justice and FBI, the former of which it labels “a bloated bureaucracy” with employees “who are infatuated with the perpetuation of a radical liberal agenda.”

Implement Schedule F, a Trump-era executive order that the Biden administration repealed that would allow the reclassification — and potential replacement — of thousands of government workers.

Eliminate the Department of Education.

Shut down the EPA’s Office of Environmental Justice and External Civil Rights.

Impose wide restrictions on abortion access, including reversing federal approval of the abortion pill mifepristone.

Allocate funding for “construction of additional border wall systems.”

Ban pornography and imprison anyone who produces or distributes it.

Promote “Sabbath Rest” by encouraging Congress to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act to require people who work these days to be paid time and a half.

Have the federal government promote “biblically based, social science reinforced” heterosexual marriages.

Call on the new Health and Human Services secretary to “reverse the Biden Administration’s focus on ‘LGBTQ+ equity’” and “subsidizing single-motherhood.”

Remove sexual orientation, gender identity, diversity, equity, inclusion and gender equality from any federal rule, regulation or legislation.

Revive Trump’s plan to open most of the National Petroleum Reserve of Alaska to leasing and development.[/bold]

Since its founding in 1973, the Heritage Foundation has been ranked by the University of Pennsylvania as one of the most influential public policy organizations in the U.S. The think tank also advised the administrations of George W. Bush and Trump.

Numerous people involved in Project 2025 worked in the Trump administration or have helped with Trump’s reelection campaign. Dans, the former director of Project 2025 at the Heritage Foundation, was chief of staff at the Office of Personnel Management under Trump. Associate directors Chretien and Troup Hemenway worked for the Trump administration as well.

Of the 34 authors and two editors listed on the project, at least 25 have served Trump in some capacity, several in senior positions in his presidential administration.

This just gave me a flashback of how Trump fucked up the US Postal Service during his first term, and it caused all sorts of delays and disruptions.

Oh joy, what we have to look forward to.

The authors behind Project 2025 have endorsed an increase to the full retirement age from 67 to 69. Doing so would cut benefits for nearly three-quarters of Americans and threaten low- and moderate-income workers—particularly women, who live longer and must draw on their retirement savings for a longer period—with economic insecurity once they leave the workforce.

By making Medicare Advantage—privatized Medicare—the default option for all Medicare enrollees, Project 2025’s plan would lead to a multibillion-dollar giveaway to corporations that would limit older Americans’ health care choices while putting Medicare’s future at risk.

Project 2025 aims to eliminate “card check,” a key method workers use to form unions and negotiate for improved wages, benefits, and working conditions. The plan also seeks to diminish the authority of the National Labor Relations Board, making it more difficult for unions to be established and recognized. In addition, it calls for a ban on public employee unions and grants states the power to outlaw unions altogether.

Trump has done with this what he has always done.

He denied that he knew anything about it, while at the same time these evil cunts were plotting, planning, and scheming.

Smart people knew it.

But the idiots who voted for Trump, believed that he wouldn't allow this.

They were so, so wrong.

Lying is a mortal sin in the Christian faith.

[quote] Lying is a mortal sin in the Christian faith.

But they justify it by saying that "God is on our side," and that they're doing it for the faith.

Just like the Spanish Inquisition did, back in the Middle Ages.

This is no different.

Will someone ask Susan Collins if she is deeply concerned or not? The only way I know how to feel is to follow her esteemed lead.

I'm not Christian but I know how to read. According to their Bible, they're going to hell for lying

They’re going to try. And JD Vance will likely be President by January 2027.

It will be interesting to see the reactions from young male Trump voters once they realize that porn — all of it — gets criminalized.

R8 you can repent all your sins at the last minute if you believe in Jesus. Pretty handy

Continuing a pregnancy is more dangerous than ending it with abortion, yet 2025 asserts their 'protecting' the health of girls and women - a LIE. Also removing funding for condoms - why?:

"[FDA should] Reverse its approval of chemical abortion drugs because the politicized approval process was illegal from the start. The FDA failed to abide by its legal obligations to protect the health, safety, and welfare of girls and women."

"Eliminate men's preventive services from the women's preventive services mandate. In December 2021, HRSA [Health Resources and Services Administration] updated its women's preventive services guidelines to include male condoms."

And these so-called "pro life" shit-heads intend to:

"Eliminate the Head Start program."

"Prioritize funding for home-based childcare, not universal day care."

"Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden's HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on 'LGBTQ+ equity,' subsidizing single motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families."

R11 - forgot the link. There are more dastardly plans.

[quote] replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families

I'm curious what this means for single people, such as myself.

Will we be penalized financially?

Rounded up and herded into camps?

Eradicated?

The single women will be assigned to an incel for sex.

Not sure about single men

Time to get rid of all those wasteful bureaucrats and replace them with grifting, embezzling, MAGAt sycophants. How can the country not be better for this?

[quote] They’re going to try. And JD Vance will likely be President by January 2027.

The only good thing about that is the fact that nobody likes him at all. Not even MAGAts. He has no charisma, no cult followers under his spell. He will be the most unpopular leader of all time.

OP, admit to who?

Are you implying the the people who voted for Trump did so despite P 2025 because they believed him when he said he didn't know about it and wouldn't implement it?

They didn't care it, assuming they even knew anything about it at all.

Good point. Reading all that shit is exhausting! Who reads that much crap anymore? Especially not Trump's "poorly educated" horde.

R17 are you retarded?

It's a fucking QUOTE from the linked article.

[bold]Texas’s Tarrant County GOP chair Bo French also posted on X, writing, “So can we admit now that we are going to implement Project 2025?” Conservative YouTuber Benny Johnson chimed in with, “It is my honor to inform you all that Project 2025 was real the whole time.”[/bold]

I swear to god, some of you are brain dead.

R19 Yes, I am retarded.

But that doesn't negate my point that the majority of Trump's voters don't care. Therefore, the information in this article is mostly irrelevant.

Those of us who do care always knew they planned to implement it!

This article is far more disturbing. It discusses the crucial role Elon played in getting Trump elected, and his master plan...which has a much better chance of succeeding

The richest man in the world and unlimited power, what could go wrong?

^Not to mention the fact that he's an autistic drug-addicted Nazi with a breeding fetish

r6 Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition.

Wait. You're telling me Trump LIED?

Must you be such a fucking cunt, R25?

[quote] Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition

Just wait and see.

These Heritage Foundation people are just as bad.

This is like a crazy movie. Also, he is going to find a way to destroy Hollywood. I am so glad I am 58 and not 18.

During the convention, they had speakers read batshit passages from Project 2025. They even had Kenan from SNL do a running skit about it throughout one of the nights. But after Trump saw the public was horrified by the shit in the manifesto and distanced himself from it, the media and even a lot of Dems just stopped talking about it.

Now, it's back, baby.

On election night, I saw a voter being interviewed during the exit poll coverage. He said, "I voted for Trump because he's not going to tax overtime pay." Well, if this man glanced over Project 2025, he would have learned that there won't even be OT pay!!

[quote] Will we be penalized financially?

Yes, single people will be. And it will be very difficult for working class and middle class singletons. It's difficult enough to get by as it is. I still cannot qualify for a mortgage on my own, if i had a partner we could easily buy. They are hoping that the financial hardship will force people to couple up and breed.

They will target gay men who are not 'normal gay men' whatever that will be. They will either go for gay marriage, gay adoption and surrogacy because gay families are not 'normal' or they will normalize married gay men and come for those of us who are single calling us degenerate sex pigs.

How exactly will this be implemented by government, since it's a private initiative?

Welcome to the Theocracy!

"They", not even Trump alone, certainly can't make everything in Project 2025 happen at once overnight. Everything in there would have to be done point by point. Hopefully, only a small percentage of what's in there actually happens, and that most of it ends up as fiction.

[quote]How exactly will this be implemented by government, since it's a private initiative?

Whoever the creeps behind this are will write bills and submit them to congressmen who need to keep them happy so the donations continue flowing. Those congressmen will put forward those bills and other bought congressmen will vote for them. And Trump will sign anything if he's rewarded sufficiently.

R31/R34, Republican legislators don't even have to be paid off anymore. Republican congressmen know full well the consequences of not obeying the party's orthodox ideology. See: Liz Cheney. See: Adam Kinsinger.

They will do as they are told or face serious consequences. That's the way authoritarian regimes operate. Legislators merely rubber stamp what Dear Leader wants.

It is going to get very bad very fast.

Project 2025 was created by the ultra religious American Heritage Foundation. Trump would never let someone else dictate his agenda or do anything other than what he decides in the moment. He has repeatedly said he has nothing to do with it.

R37..."And Brutus is an honorable man."

[quote] He has repeatedly said he has nothing to do with it.

Yes, and Trump is such an honest man.

ROFL!!

Read the comments at the original link.

They are TELLING US that they lied!

As if Trump would like something as boringly named as Project 2025. If you want the narcissist with the attention span of a 3 year old to like it then rename it Donald’s 2099 Plan or the Democracy: ‘You’re fired!’ Plan

You're right, R40.

DUMP came up with his own plan: PROJECT47

Let them do it, it will hurt middle Americans the most, I can't wait, Americans deserve it.

R37 is just waiting for right woman before he settles down and starts a family.

I can't wait for the chaos.

Bring it on.

you're an idiot

It's weird how these religious fundies can just lie, lie, lie, as if it were nothing.

And worse yet, they think that they're actually good people because of it.
