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.
You had to live inside your own asshole to not know this was always the plan
You just described like 38% of voters
52%
I’m assuming some of those voters believed project 2025 was real and very much supported it.
The majority I know when voted R, are totally for it. But always see themselves as exceptions or think they won’t be effected.
There’s plenty that thought he wouldn’t do it.
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.
Part of me wants average people to realize the Republican leadership isn’t on their side. The other part of me realizes once normal people take notice, it will be too late.
Bad news
Trump is amplifying the rhetoric overseas too
So, he’s also ruining other countries too
My mom, who voted tRump and is on public assistance, is gonna be very sad and not understand why.
Don’t worry she’ll find a way to blame Obama
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.
Barack Obiden Harris is about to have a lot of things blamed on him/her
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.
I plan on reminding every family member, at every opportunity, when they complain about some benefit they’ve lost, “tough shit, you specifically voted for this”
“but he’s hurting the wrong people, tell him that, he must not know it!”
Did anyone ACTUALLY believe they didn’t?
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.

Look at all of the dumb fucking liberals on Lemmy huffing copium.
The Republic has fallen, and the liberals won’t even try to stop it. At least the fucking Roman Senate killed Caesar.
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.
If you weren’t already on a list you’re part of the problem.
Have you ever been arrested for being on a list, because I’d like to walk through that with you.
Edit: Nevermind, waste of timeYes, you people are.
? 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
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.
May the ones responsible suffer the consequences of their actions.
For the very unfortunate people becoming collateral damage, aka the remainder of the human population, may fate look mercifully upon us.
Are we witnessing the extinction of mankind?
The hastening of it via increased climate change, yes.
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.
Oh, well no problem then. I’m not sure why everyone is worried when it’s only 25-50% of fascist policies that will be implemented.
Yeah, that said - I don’t think he’s a fascist yet. I think he’s an extreme Capitalist with a narcissistic personality.
He likes to joke, play, and dance with violent rhetoric to get views and likes. He goads the left into giving him attention, and his supporters find it funny.
So I think he’ll be a more run of the mill candidate than most on the left are claiming. This is because American democracy is already corrupt, already serves mostly the wealthy and bigotted, at the cost of the stupid, poor, vulnerable, and ignorant.
So he won’t be a noteworthy fascist unless there’s a government action results in a mass violence, OR he refuses to leave office.
I’m not sure what you think fascism is, but it isn’t that.
It also isn’t anything Trump has actually done. He jokes about being violent or fascist to get attention and goad the left into giving him even more attention - and they fall for it every time. He laughs at them with his supporters about this.
It also isn’t anything Trump has actually done.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_photo_op_at_St._John's_Church
Would you like other examples?
He held the bible for a photo op? That’s your proof he’s tangibly doing fascist actions?
You know a large majority get sworn in on that thing?
He had protesters tear gassed and removed for his photo op to hold that bible. Pay attention.
Bah, I don’t think there’s a chance in hell any of this doesn’t get some form of implementation. Remember, Trump didn’t actually do a lot of anything in his first admin. Most of his day-to-day, most of the actual decision making was left to the Cabinet. Which is gonna be stacked with Heritage Foundation picks and the people who actually want this shit.
As far as “government action resulting in mass violence”, one of his campaign speeches was him talking about unleashing the military and the police for “one really bad, really rough day”, which sounds an awful lot like a government action resulting in mass violence.
My nephew told us about a DoD policy change made in September authorizing military lethal force domestically in support of law enforcement during domestic unrest. They were all called into meetings to be informed of this policy change. He said he would not obey orders to fire on American citizens.
But the flyer I got attached to my door said Trump totally disavowed it! Would a flyer attached to my door lie?
Would this face lie to you?
OH MY GAWD WHATS WRONG WITH UR FACE??!
Can’t wait for every one of you fucks to realize what you’ve done voting for that scum. We’re all fucked.
they will not realize anything. they don’t believe what any of the news outlets say. we have been saying this for 8 years.
They’ll find some way to blame Dems for anything that becomes too unpopular, and their base will willingly buy into it to avoid responsibility - until something bites them personally. It’ll take far too long for it to affect enough of them personally to save the rest of us with some semblance of rationality, though.
In response to another post about Project 2025
Congratulations nzmaa, you won. You’re going to live in my mind 24/7 for the next four years.
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.
They want dumb, obedient people they can convince to give up their rights.
Over halfway there!
I wish Biden has the balls to label them as traitors and use his SC approved powers to jail them for treason.
They’d be right back out on Jan. 20th. Have to do something more permanent.
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.
What is wrong with the Project 2025?
Found the guy living inside his own asshole.
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.
The comment from Maven is, as you found, accurate.
The answer is all of it.
It wants to get rid of free school meals for children
And ban porn. I think that’ll piss off more people.
That’s kind of based tbh
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.

The what?
