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.

        Yea, but at least the proportional representation systems in Europe were delaying them a bit to cut off a few hostile actors, create defenses…now it is coming from the most important ally the disinfo storm is going to reach cat 6 :(

      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.
