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.

    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.

        Iā€™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 donā€™t think many of them would catch a bullet for those ideas.

        Yea, secret voting can be a way to launder your responsibility, by contributing to make someone else responsible for what you want to do.
