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.
Don’t forget: replacing nonpartisan government experts with Trump appointees, defending and reclassifying public media and banning pornography.
What? No tiddies?
Did anyone ACTUALLY believe they didn’t?
I’ve been listening to interviews and most people think Trump won’t do what he says he will, much less something that he says he won’t. It’s unbelievable.

Look at all of the dumb fucking liberals on Lemmy huffing copium.
The Republic has fallen, and the liberals won’t even try to stop it. At least the fucking Roman Senate killed Caesar.
a) wind up on a list
b) don’t wind up on a list
I’m not saying anyone should be killed, but I do believe saying such would get you put on a list in this country moving forward. I can tell you what list it is too. They will label it ANTIFA, and they already listed that group as terrorists. It isn’t hard to understand why people in a country riddled with threats wouldn’t speak out publicly in at such a time
On a side note to get ahead of flack, yes I know that was a group in Germany that opposed fhe NAZI party. There were no official groups in the U.S., but still it managed to wind up on our terrorist list after Trump’s wild accusations about January 6th, who he now claims are the opposite. His fans… Who he supposedly wants to pardon. Not mentioning that they did every illegal act they were convicted of.
If you weren’t already on a list you’re part of the problem.
Have you ever been arrested for being on a list, because I’d like to walk through that with you.
Edit: Nevermind, waste of timeYes, you people are.
? You were describing your experiences, what are you talking about?
Edit: you see how someone asked you a question and you created a “people” when they were asking a simple question, that’s how I know you are easy to accept defining mass groups of people into groups with no conclusive information. Like racisism and sexism. You shoveled your own shit there
Trump NEVER lies about what he wants to do. He always lies about his accomplishments.
Bs, he always lies. Him and Pence set out to destroy Roe v Wade, not because he wanted to, but because he thought it would get him a base of people who will not change their mind no matter how many people it hurts. He wants followers that will stab their family members to death to support his cause, which he doesn’t support, he just needs blind loyalty.
Trump I guarantee you wanted abortion legal for his life, the guy frolicked around children beauty shows and flaunted it as if it was good. Epstein ties up the wazoo. Grab them by the pussy, they don’t mind. He wants immigrants to be able to come here, or his wife or his new friend Musk who defined himself as an illegal recently wouldn’t be here. It is fascism to the core. It’s shut the fuck up and do what I say and nothing else, even if you don’t agree and people you care about get hurt.
Quite frankly, it’s terrorism by definition.
Any conservative issues that are motivated primarily by religion, such as abortion, Trump doesn’t give a fuck about. He’ll just sign whatever they put in front of him. Things stemming primarily from racism or misogyny, though, he’s all for.
Sadly yes, I told many people about it and they all said “Trump’s not going for it, he rejected it, that’s just fear mongering”
Bastards
Every person that said " they just want abortion rights to be up to the states," was either ignorant, or an idiot. Unfortunately it doesn’t matter anymore, they fell into the I support fucking women’s rights category.
Same I know first time Trump voters who believed him when he said he distanced himself from project 2025. I don’t know why anyone would believe him when most of the shit he says is a lie. The only true things he’s said are that he wants to be a dictator and punish his enemies.
My aunt :|
Yes, my MAGA family members bought Trump’s line of “I don’t know who is involved in that”.
They are not only lying to you, they are lying to themselves.
One of my family members actually said that they wouldn’t vote for P25. I told them it was a platform, not an item on a ballot… confused looks.
“it’s like ‘the gay agenda’”
Factcheck and similar ones always claimed that Trump supporting project 2025 was Fake or needs context
I have a feeling someone paid good money for Snopes and similar sites. Or have some kompromat on rheir editors.
It’s because he maintained plausible deniability, no bribes or kompromat necessary. Fact checkers couldn’t definitively say he supported project 25 because he feigned ignorance.
All i really want to know at this point is whether or not Fuck Joe Biden flags are passé now
Funny you should mention that; just today I saw a house still flying a “Let’s go Brandon” flag. I thought it was stupid last year when I drove by there and saw it, but this is next level obsession. I guess there wasn’t enough time to find a “Kambala bad” flag.
Biden is still the sitting president.
Honestly, I think they should do it and Democrats need to get on board or step aside. This is what the people, including the 15 million Democrats, independents, and progressives that didn’t vote this election, wanted this election.
including the 15 million Democrats, independents, and progressives wanted this election.
The what?
there was an absence of 15-20 million votes that were never cast.
Trump actually got 2 million LESS votes than he got in 2020.
that means the majority of those missing votes were Democrats and Independents.
If you didn’t vote this election you’re worse than the red hat Nazis IMO.
What???
What is wrong with the Project 2025?
Nationwide abortion ban bypassing the legislative process, elimination of the Department of Education, elimination of the EPA and numerous other regulatory bodies, more direct Presidential control over the Department of Justice to weaponize it after perceived enemies, reinstating forgiven student debts.
Serious question, with no hidden agenda or follow up comments: Do you enjoy watching other people suffer?
"Yes, because the reduced happiness of others elevates mine in comparison. This is because I believe in a rigid social hierarchy where happiness is zero-sum, and it’s the only way I’m able to climb the ladder. Once the short-lived boost in happiness inevitably wears off due to the world not actually working in that way, I will further look to enable suffering to forever chase the high in the only way I know. I will never truly feel deep satisfaction and inner peace, and I will slowly decline into old age feeling ever more isolated and bitter.
Get rekt, libs."
If nothing else, I’m enjoying the cathartic rage sarcasm cropping up everywhere on this site.
Thanks.
This person made posts celebrating Trump’s win by the way.
They deserve every one of those down votes
Found the guy living inside his own asshole.
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.
The comment from Maven is, as you found, accurate.
The answer is all of it.
It’s literally the same policy goals as Sharia law.
Literally all of it
It wants to get rid of free school meals for children
And ban porn. I think that’ll piss off more people.
That’s kind of based tbh
Damit! I knew it!
It’s Sharia law for christian fundamentalists.
You had to live inside your own asshole to not know this was always the plan
You just described like 38% of voters
52%
I’m assuming some of those voters believed project 2025 was real and very much supported it.
The majority I know when voted R, are totally for it. But always see themselves as exceptions or think they won’t be effected.
There’s plenty that thought he wouldn’t do it.
Yup, I’ve looked into it. Seems they were all born yesterday.
Which is a grave offense with this new regime, because that means you’re gay with yourself.
auto-gay
Sounds like a really bad transformers opponent.
There’s some talented fanfic writers out there who could probably make it work.
Trying to envision that physically but seems like a recursive paradox. If you lived inside your own asshole then your asshole would be in your asshole, etc. You need 4 dimensional vector space to solve it.
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.
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.
It also isn’t anything Trump has actually done.

Would you like other examples?
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.
You mean they didn’t write a 900 page manifesto for the lulz?
I’m so fucking done with this country man, people make me so tired of living. I’m so disappointed, and the amount of lives this orange fuck is going to destroy is so immense it’s just so depressing. and I hate living in a red state surrounded by idiots who genuinely think this is a good idea, and think I shouldn’t even have basic rights.
Bad news
Trump is amplifying the rhetoric overseas too
So, he’s also ruining other countries too
Part of me wants average people to realize the Republican leadership isn’t on their side. The other part of me realizes once normal people take notice, it will be too late.
Either they run into the filibuster in the senate and it stops most of this, or we finally do away with the filibuster and when the democrats come in to clean up after 2/4 years of disaster, we don’t have the filibuster stopping all the good ideas the democrats are suppose to support.
Assuming the ditch the filibuster and implement 2025, there will be no more elections.
That’s some 5d chess right there
assuming they dont get rid of the filibuster, and then put it back on their way out if they manage to lose power again
it’s funny, you think there’s enough time.
clocks done, boy. the bell has rung, the match called, and the crowd is gone.
pack your bags and find somewhere else to hang up your hat.
we lost, so much.
None of it will matter because there won’t ever be another free and fair election again.
There will be no “democrats come in”. I’ll be surprised if there is ever another election.
The only thing that could change this is the people making heads roll.
But we won’t.
There will still be elections – even Russia still holds elections. They just won’t be free or fair.
Rules (filibuster) for thee but not for me is the guiding principle of the right wing.
Dictators don’t typically take too kindly to filibusters.
This election just proves that I made the right choice changing to Libertarian last year.
Yeah. That’s the takeaway. 🙄
You’re a fucking idiot. Lol thanks for getting us trump
I voted for Harris. Thanks for assuming
I switched to the Libertarian party
I voted for Harris
Make up your mind or stfu and stop trying to bait people.
I’m not bating anyone. I’m a left leaning libertarian and there’s nothing wrong with voting for someone outside my party. You don’t have any right to tell me what not to say. It’s called freedom of speech
We’re not the government (which is what the free speech is all about). We can judge your opinions all we want.
That’s right it still I don’t appreciate the hostility. I didn’t vote for Trump or did I just not vote
Seriously just stop giving this person a hard time. They voted for what is right, at least. Whether they identify outside of that party, who cares? It’s not going to change (and in any case worked in your favor toward) the election outcome, which is what you are actually upset about.
Are you universal monk?
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.
Okay well I don’t agree with those libertarians there are factions in our party esp with right leaning side as well. Idk what you want me to say
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
I’m center left leaning libertarian
Not if you wanted Chase Oliver to be the president, you’re not.
I’m not sure I understand why they’re getting rid of the department of education? Why not change it? Why get rid of it entirely.
If someone could ELI5 that shit, I’d be grateful.
It all makes sense when you realize they have no intention to actually run the country in good faith. They intend to do two things, plunder everything they can, and irreparably destroy the country’s future to get revenge for having the audacity to try to move forward.
Can’t get an educated mind to work readily against their best interest…or to work down in a mine.
They don’t want there to be a tool to undo what they’ve done. If there’s no watchdog they can privatize education without worry that losing an election means a quick stop to what’s happened. The very first court argument against a democrat run government in 2028 would be that only the Dept of Ed had the statutory power to stop them.
Because stupid masses voted him in. Stupid masses are easier to control.
Just like the constitution, states can add to, but not take away from federal department of education regulations. For example, the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) is a law that makes available a free appropriate public education to eligible children with disabilities throughout the nation and ensures special education and related services to those children. Changing laws if difficult and no one wants to go on record voting against special needs. So they can just get rid of the department that enforces laws and say they are leaving up to the states.
As someone who lives in a red state and has a child with special needs, the IDEA law is the only reason my child gets any support in school. If they get rid of the department of education then states like Texas can reduce their special education services even further, so they can build more multi-million dollar high school football stadiums.
No one alive now really remembers what life was like for the disabled before civil rights laws passed. It was bad. Disabled people were hidden and locked away in tiny secret rooms their whole lives.
Fucking goddammit. I guess people decided to wait until AFTER the election to inform themselves of the implications of one of the parties winning.
You fucking knob. You realize people who aren’t American are on here, right?
Grow up.
I said “people.” Not everything is about you
Then why on the fuckin’ green earth would you write the words you did directly under my post?
🙄 You’re not retconning your way out of that, pal. Pot calling the kettle black here.
getting rid of it means they can redirect funds to private schools which indoctrinate kids into being conservatives
Also wage slaves don’t need education that might make them strive for a life better than creating excess value for their owners.
Right. So it’s about breaking the public school system and ultimately replacing them with private institutions?
Okay. Yeesh.
Read Project 2025. They are doing this with every regulatory agency. And the ones that they actually do replace, will be filled with Trump sycophants instead of career experts in their respective fields.
Say goodbye to the EPA and the FDA.
They want dumb, obedient people they can convince to give up their rights.
Over halfway there!
They know they can so it happens.
But the flyer I got attached to my door said Trump totally disavowed it! Would a flyer attached to my door lie?
Would this face lie to you?
OH MY GAWD WHATS WRONG WITH UR FACE??!
May the ones responsible suffer the consequences of their actions.
For the very unfortunate people becoming collateral damage, aka the remainder of the human population, may fate look mercifully upon us.
