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.
Yup, I’ve looked into it. Seems they were all born yesterday.
Which is a grave offense with this new regime, because that means you’re gay with yourself.
auto-gay
Sounds like a really bad transformers opponent.
There’s some talented fanfic writers out there who could probably make it work.
Trying to envision that physically but seems like a recursive paradox. If you lived inside your own asshole then your asshole would be in your asshole, etc. You need 4 dimensional vector space to solve it.
We all knew this as did everyone who voted him in. When you look at your neighbours never forget who they are.
All i really want to know at this point is whether or not Fuck Joe Biden flags are passé now
Funny you should mention that; just today I saw a house still flying a “Let’s go Brandon” flag. I thought it was stupid last year when I drove by there and saw it, but this is next level obsession. I guess there wasn’t enough time to find a “Kambala bad” flag.
Biden is still the sitting president.
What is wrong with the Project 2025?
Nationwide abortion ban bypassing the legislative process, elimination of the Department of Education, elimination of the EPA and numerous other regulatory bodies, more direct Presidential control over the Department of Justice to weaponize it after perceived enemies, reinstating forgiven student debts.
Literally all of it
It’s literally the same policy goals as Sharia law.
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."
If nothing else, I’m enjoying the cathartic rage sarcasm cropping up everywhere on this site.
I see you have met my stepfather.
Thanks.

It’s Sharia law for christian fundamentalists.
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.
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
Damit! I knew it!
And ban porn. I think that’ll piss off more people.
That’s kind of based tbh
They gotta go through the house to implement these changes, don’t they?
Well, traditionally…
You need to stop thinking about these things in the context of the ethics and social mores that you grew up with. I don’t think people understand what fascism actually means, and just how total an autocrat’s power is. Especially if the GOP also have full control of all three branches of the federal government.
It seems like there are people who just do not grasp to what extent we are fucked, and they will not until they literally start lining Democratic politicians against the wall and executing them.
Anything short of that, and they think it’s just fear mongering or something. Even then, there will be many that buy into whatever trumped up bullshit charges that get levied against them as justification for their murder. Assuming they even bother with that.
Americans are too ignorant to understand what they just did… Specifically those who voted for Trump, and those who chose not to vote over a single issue.
Republicans also won the house and senate.
With the combined total of a right controlled presidency, congress, and supreme court what can’t they do?
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.
Anyone who thought different, who thought “Project 2025” was off the table because Trump said so!: You are idiots who should not be allowed to touch anyhing that could break, and you better not breed.
I fully believe Trump when he says
“I haven’t read it. I don’t want to read it purposely. I’m not going to read it.”
Note, he didn’t say he would stop other people from executing the plan.
Unfortunately it always seems to be the dumbest that breed most.
Idiocracy wasn’t supposed to be a documentary.
Honestly, I’d take it over what we have now, or are about to get. Those people were at least smart enough to elect the best candidate.
Idiocracy is the most unrealistic movie ever made. President Comacho has a problem, finds the most qualified person to solve it, listens to them (reluctantly) and then dosent take credit. That would never happen in any political reality.
This is why Project 2025 intends to ban abortion and limit contraceptives. They want to proliferate their voter base.
Get sterilized while you still have the chance
My wife was de-uterized a few years back (mostly for other reasons), but it’s been the best.
My mom, who voted tRump and is on public assistance, is gonna be very sad and not understand why.
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”
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.
Nobody would ever fall for that… *Glances at Texas
They’re already doing it. More than half the United States’ voters this year just elected a man who lied about fumbling the pandemic, who lied about having the most secure border and the best economy, who lied about the insurrection he very clearly instigated, and has lied about his policies and political stances form day one (health care, abortion rights, you name it) and people are accepting, if not believing, what he’s saying. This is doublespeak right in front of our eyes. They’re lying right now, and they’ll lie later when they start attacking our basic human rights and start rounding up our friends and their political opponents. And we’ll accept it, if not believe it.
Barack Obiden Harris is about to have a lot of things blamed on him/her
to which they’ll even blame for that “him/her” pronoun they’ll use.
Haha I was honestly debating what to use there.
“but he’s hurting the wrong people, tell him that, he must not know it!”
"I accidentally got caught in the net, but I’ll make that sacrifice so more of the other gets caught.’
Who’ve thought that a leopard would be a leopard and do leopard things?
“the face-eating-leopards aren’t supposed to eat my face!”
Time to find her bootstraps
If the leopards haven’t eaten her face already.
Good. She sounds horrible
She is/was . She is the type of person to smoke with the windows up around her asmatic child and have 3 abortions and be desperate to vote for other woman to also not have that choice
Is this news? They presented their plan to destroy America, and are going to implement it. What did people expect?
When someone tells you they are a fascist, believe them the first time.
The “admit” part is the news.
If I make plans for a holiday, put down deposits on hotels, and print an itinerary for my time abroad, it’d be a bit pointless to “admit” I was going on holiday.
Yeah, that’s how sane people operate. But we’re dealing with a different breed here.
I really hope the Jill Stein voters and non voters will suffer tremendously under this. Same for MAGA but they dont mind suffering for Trump.
Yes let’s hope minorities suffer under fascism. That’s a good strategy.
Moron.
People who didnt vote for Harris did it to themselves. They wanted the fascism or they would have voted against it. Its only fair if they suffer the most from their decision
Puh-lease. They’re minorities only in the way that they voted.
Since when is “hoping” a strategy?
There’s no need to hope, we know what happens to minorities under fascism. The ones who only get deported will probably end up being the lucky ones in the long run.
I really hope the DNC party elite suffer tremendously under this. They won’t, but they should.
Unfortunately the dissenters will be the first to go.
Are we witnessing the extinction of mankind?
We were already witnessing that.
The hastening of it via increased climate change, yes.
Earth is already past the critical point tempurature… No matter how much we clean up now (which we won’t), the earth is already heading down the global warming path
Sure, but we could at least slow it down. Not happening now.
I’ve been watching since 2016, buddy.
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.
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.
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.
And I will NEVER let them forget it.
I wish they had the shame to process it.
People knew, they still voted for him.
There are some who have voted out of ignorance, and not malice. You’re right, but not in every case.
Willfully ignorant is almost more malicious than spite.
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.
Willful ignorance. It takes a certain type to somehow ignore every red flag that is presented before them.
every red flag
And the bull horn, and the press releases and the public speeches.
They gave him a fucking mandate
Where can we read the actual agenda?
Thanks! Almost 1000 pages… I’ll need some time…
Here is a decent video from Youtuber “Second Thought”. If you don’t want to know how it came to be you can skip to 11:40.
Thanks, I’ll take a look, but I’ll reserve judgement until I’ve read it myself.
Of course. Just be prepared for a dry and frightening read.
Maybe I’ll do a ‘let’s read’
Here’s a comic that covers the worst parts. 21 pages iirc
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.
Navy seals then.
This is probably more valid than some think. Trump and his cronies are a clear threat to the country and must be eliminated before the damage is done.
The problem being that the majority of voters want fascism. Defeating it requires more than just removing the leaders because more will just take their place.
I’m not so sure. I think these people genuinely do want to wriggle out of any sense of societal responsibility and want to ensure that there is an underclass ripe for extortion.
But I don’t think many of them would catch a bullet for those ideas.
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 would he have to lose at this point?
He isn’t even candidate Biden, in this case, so it’s an official act. The law is so fucking bad.
I agree! But he’d never do it even if he knew for a fact there would be no consequences for him from it.
I sure won’t be holding my breath expecting him to, especially not after the speech he just gave.
I just looked up the gist of it. My reaction:
got a link for a non mercan?
This election just proves that I made the right choice changing to Libertarian last year.
In deep red Indiana, more people voted for RFK, Jr. than Chase Oliver.
So few people, even in a deep red state, want what libertarians are selling that more people voted for a guy who dropped out of the race.
So if you mean that you made the right choice to never, ever get what you want, you most certainly did.
Okay well I don’t agree with those libertarians there are factions in our party esp with right leaning side as well. Idk what you want me to say
You don’t agree with which libertarians? The ones that chose your party’s candidate? Maybe you’re in the wrong party.
No I would have voted for Chase Oliver if he had any chance to get close to the White House. I’m saying I don’t agree with libertarians that voted for rfk but those are right leaning libertarians that total anti regulatory. I’m center left leaning libertarian
I’m center left leaning libertarian
Not if you wanted Chase Oliver to be the president, you’re not.
So now I’m not a libertarian if I would have liked to see chase Oliver as president but voted for Harris as a better counter vote to Trump? Do you have anything else better to do than troll people?
Oh no, I’m sure you’re a libertarian.
I just don’t buy the left-leaning part considering Oliver’s platform.
You’re a fucking idiot. Lol thanks for getting us trump
I voted for Harris. Thanks for assuming
I switched to the Libertarian party
I voted for Harris
Make up your mind or stfu and stop trying to bait people.
I’m not bating anyone. I’m a left leaning libertarian and there’s nothing wrong with voting for someone outside my party. You don’t have any right to tell me what not to say. It’s called freedom of speech
We’re not the government (which is what the free speech is all about). We can judge your opinions all we want.
That’s right it still I don’t appreciate the hostility. I didn’t vote for Trump or did I just not vote
Seriously just stop giving this person a hard time. They voted for what is right, at least. Whether they identify outside of that party, who cares? It’s not going to change (and in any case worked in your favor toward) the election outcome, which is what you are actually upset about.
Yeah. That’s the takeaway. 🙄
