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.

    In deep red Indiana, more people voted for RFK, Jr. than Chase Oliver.

    So few people, even in a deep red state, want what libertarians are selling that more people voted for a guy who dropped out of the race.

    So if you mean that you made the right choice to never, ever get what you want, you most certainly did.

        You don’t agree with which libertarians? The ones that chose your party’s candidate? Maybe you’re in the wrong party.

          No I would have voted for Chase Oliver if he had any chance to get close to the White House. I’m saying I don’t agree with libertarians that voted for rfk but those are right leaning libertarians that total anti regulatory. I’m center left leaning libertarian

                Oh no, I’m sure you’re a libertarian.

                I just don’t buy the left-leaning part considering Oliver’s platform.

                  Okay that’s your opinion then. Doesn’t mean I ageee with all of his policies. Shit, people literally voted for Trump because they say TRUMP=lower prices HARISS=Higher prices. And ignored everything else. I’m upset as well that Trump is back The White House. If anything Dems should be mad at Joe Biden for not deciding not to run for reelection before the primaries.

                    So your defense of being left-leaning is that people voted for politicians for stupider reasons than why you would have preferred Chase Oliver?
