Project 2025 in a nutshell

Project 2025 is produced by the conservative “Heritage Foundation”, is a think tank proposal for the Trump Administration. Over more than 900 pages, it calls for sacking tens of thousands of civil servant jobs, expanding the power of the president to a dictatorship, dismantling the Department of Education, Department of Justice, Department of Revenue, the FBI, and other federal agencies. The sacked employees will be replaced by Trump loyalists, and report directly to the president. They also want to enforce sweeping tax cuts for the upper class.

A woman’s rights to abortion will be eliminated and enforced on a national level. It proposes withdrawing the abortion pill mifepristone from the market. Now they’re backing off on the national ban. However, Trump will make it illegal with his hand picked, corrupt, Supreme Count. He’s proud of this fact and brags about it.
Climate control funding will be slashed dramatically. More investment in gas and oil.

Tech and education: Under the proposals, pornography would be banned, and tech and telecoms companies that facilitate access to such content would be shut down. The document calls for school choice and parental control over schools, and takes aim at what it calls “woke propaganda”. It proposes to eliminate a long list of terms from all laws and federal regulations, including “sexual orientation", “diversity, equity, and inclusion”, “gender equality”, "abortion" and “reproductive rights”.
Immigration: Mass deportation of all illegal aliens. We’re talking millions of people. Who will do the jobs they do now? Imagine all the fruit trees in Florida being allowed to drop the fruit to the ground and rot. This alone will be a total disaster for our country. Trump wants to eliminate the U.S. cooperation with NATO. He also wants to cut Social Security.
Project 2025, backed by a $22m budget, also sets out strategies for implementing policies beginning immediately after the presidential inauguration in January 2025. In his speeches and on his website, Trump has endorsed a number of ideas included in Project 2025, although his campaign has said the candidate has the final say on policy. Everyone knows the outcome of that statement. I think I covered it all, but I’m sure more will be added.
Many of the proposals would face immediate legal challenges if implemented.

YOUR DEMORACY is on the line. The Heritage Foundation wants to totally destroy our constitution. The time has come where it does not matter what political party you like. Americans cannot allow for this corruption to continue. You must vote. And voting democrat is the only way to stop this insanity. Imagine living in a dictatorship(such as China, Russia, North Korea), where one person makes all the decisions for the entire country and it’s citizens. A person that cannot be prosecuted for any reason. An unhinged, corrupt, stacked Supreme Court has now opened the gate for this to proceed. On top of all of this, Trump has said he will destroy his enemies, and reward his loyalists. This country has no room for a king. We cannot allow these proposals to move forward. VOTE DEMOCRAT and save our democracy. Your neighbors, children, and grandchildren are counting on us to end this insanity. It must stop! 81 million voted for Biden last time. This time we need 90 million, or more.
God help us all.

This is some serious shit. I wouldn't have posted this if I didn't feel so strong about the subject matter. This country is in some serious trouble.

To my surprise, as of the time of this post, there were only 256 views and only 1 post. WTF. Really? Yep, that's sad.

I have no idea why you are so concerned about DUers. Backhanded swipe noted.

it needs to get out there more. Someone like Lincoln Project needs to do an ad on it.

If you search Project 2025 on Google the official page comes up (www ..... project2025.org/) - under the policy tab you can pull up all 900+ pages in a pdf. It is slow reading, so we are going to need folks to make memes and plaster them on social media. Trump is trying to distance himself from it because it's very clear - complete ban on abortion across the country, mass deportations, destruction of the Dept of Education, etc - you've done a good job above giving an intro to their plans. They also go on about "Liberty" and yet want their republican president to be a dictator. I had a hard time getting through the Forward - reading it is like being forced to watch FAUX news (I'm at page 19 now, which is the beginning of Section One).

AGAIN!!! He can push all the lies he wants. But they have the idiot actually saying he supports this bullshit!!!! GUILTY AGAIN

And I'm sure he didn't lie during his 4 corrupt years in office. If I recall it was 33K times. People have given up counting since then. He's a pathological liar. He has proven it over, and over and over again.
