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.

    No they won’t they’ll implement 50 - 75 percent of it. Ditching what’s not popular enough or appealing enough to business men and their popular base.

      Let’s say you’re right and they get 50 percent of it done…I can’t even imagine what the world will look like in 4 years…it’ll be whatever fox tells me to believe I guess.

      Oh, well no problem then. I’m not sure why everyone is worried when it’s only 25-50% of fascist policies that will be implemented.

        Yeah, that said - I don’t think he’s a fascist yet. I think he’s an extreme Capitalist with a narcissistic personality.

        He likes to joke, play, and dance with violent rhetoric to get views and likes. He goads the left into giving him attention, and his supporters find it funny.

        So I think he’ll be a more run of the mill candidate than most on the left are claiming. This is because American democracy is already corrupt, already serves mostly the wealthy and bigotted, at the cost of the stupid, poor, vulnerable, and ignorant.

        So he won’t be a noteworthy fascist unless there’s a government action results in a mass violence, OR he refuses to leave office.

          I’m not sure what you think fascism is, but it isn’t that.

            It also isn’t anything Trump has actually done. He jokes about being violent or fascist to get attention and goad the left into giving him even more attention - and they fall for it every time. He laughs at them with his supporters about this.

                He held the bible for a photo op? That’s your proof he’s tangibly doing fascist actions?

                You know a large majority get sworn in on that thing?

                  He had protesters tear gassed and removed for his photo op to hold that bible. Pay attention.

                    You just listed tactics used on most modern day protests then told me to pay attention?

                    That’s not proof of fascism. That’s just a Tuesday.

                    Like I hate the guy, but this is a bad proof. He’s a generic corrupt Capitalist politician. It’s a best proof he’s good at trolling the left.

          Bah, I don’t think there’s a chance in hell any of this doesn’t get some form of implementation. Remember, Trump didn’t actually do a lot of anything in his first admin. Most of his day-to-day, most of the actual decision making was left to the Cabinet. Which is gonna be stacked with Heritage Foundation picks and the people who actually want this shit.

          As far as “government action resulting in mass violence”, one of his campaign speeches was him talking about unleashing the military and the police for “one really bad, really rough day”, which sounds an awful lot like a government action resulting in mass violence.

            My nephew told us about a DoD policy change made in September authorizing military lethal force domestically in support of law enforcement during domestic unrest. They were all called into meetings to be informed of this policy change. He said he would not obey orders to fire on American citizens.
