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.

    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.

        If I make plans for a holiday, put down deposits on hotels, and print an itinerary for my time abroad, itā€™d be a bit pointless to ā€œadmitā€ I was going on holiday.

          Yeah, thatā€™s how sane people operate. But weā€™re dealing with a different breed here.
