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.

      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.

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

    Either they run into the filibuster in the senate and it stops most of this, or we finally do away with the filibuster and when the democrats come in to clean up after 2/4 years of disaster, we don’t have the filibuster stopping all the good ideas the democrats are suppose to support.

      There will be no “democrats come in”. I’ll be surprised if there is ever another election.

      The only thing that could change this is the people making heads roll.

      But we won’t.

      it’s funny, you think there’s enough time.

      clocks done, boy. the bell has rung, the match called, and the crowd is gone.

      pack your bags and find somewhere else to hang up your hat.

      we lost, so much.

        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.

      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.

    They know they can’t win if people know who they are and what they want. Maybe this will teach a small fraction of their supporters who they really are.

      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.

        There are some who have voted out of ignorance, and not malice. You’re right, but not in every case.

            Yeah. I consider both types to be bad people, but it’s important to know the difference sometimes. I refuse to be reduced to inaccurate arguments just because we lost.

      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 don’t care to understand the details or the nuance. They don’t need to. The team they are cheering on has told them what to do and they enjoy obeying their masters.

    Honestly, I think they should do it and Democrats need to get on board or step aside. This is what the people, including the 15 million Democrats, independents, and progressives that didn’t vote this election, wanted this election.

        there was an absence of 15-20 million votes that were never cast.

        Trump actually got 2 million LESS votes than he got in 2020.

        that means the majority of those missing votes were Democrats and Independents.

        If you didn’t vote this election you’re worse than the red hat Nazis IMO.

    No they won’t they’ll implement 50 - 75 percent of it. Ditching what’s not popular enough or appealing enough to business men and their popular base.

        To be fair, I have heard a lot of vague fear mongering around the project with very little clear statements of exactly what it’s proposing, until this thread. None of this is to suggest it’s not as bad as people were making it out to be - it seems fucking horrific and regressive - but I won’t attack someone for wanting to know the specifics.

        Mind you, I’m Canadian. If I were American, I suspect I’d have read at least parts of the primary text, because that’s what I tend to do.

        EDIT: Okay, I decided to start reading about it right after making this post. It’s fucked. You all are fucked. Welcome to a White Christian Nationalist Ethnostate.

      Serious question, with no hidden agenda or follow up comments: Do you enjoy watching other people suffer?

        "Yes, because the reduced happiness of others elevates mine in comparison. This is because I believe in a rigid social hierarchy where happiness is zero-sum, and it’s the only way I’m able to climb the ladder. Once the short-lived boost in happiness inevitably wears off due to the world not actually working in that way, I will further look to enable suffering to forever chase the high in the only way I know. I will never truly feel deep satisfaction and inner peace, and I will slowly decline into old age feeling ever more isolated and bitter.

        Get rekt, libs."
