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.

    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.

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