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.

    There are some who have voted out of ignorance, and not malice. Youā€™re right, but not in every case.

        Yeah. I consider both types to be bad people, but itā€™s important to know the difference sometimes. I refuse to be reduced to inaccurate arguments just because we lost.

      Willful ignorance. It takes a certain type to somehow ignore every red flag that is presented before them.
