Summary

Following Donald Trumpā€™s election victory, Republicans are now openly embracing Project 2025, a policy agenda from The Heritage Foundation that outlines sweeping conservative reforms.

Despite Trumpā€™s attempts to distance himself from the project during his campaign due to its extreme proposalsā€”including expanded executive powers, a national abortion ban, stricter contraception limits, harsh immigration policies, and the elimination of agencies like the Department of Educationā€”his allies quickly began celebrating its implementation.

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and commentator Matt Walsh publicly affirmed the agenda, signaling the GOPā€™s commitment to enacting these controversial policies in Trumpā€™s second term.

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

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

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