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.

    Theyā€™ll blame Barack Harris for the crumbling of the US while the republicans dismantle it actively in front of them, while they point at the democrats for letting it happen.

        Theyā€™re already doing it. More than half the United Statesā€™ voters this year just elected a man who lied about fumbling the pandemic, who lied about having the most secure border and the best economy, who lied about the insurrection he very clearly instigated, and has lied about his policies and political stances form day one (health care, abortion rights, you name it) and people are accepting, if not believing, what heā€™s saying. This is doublespeak right in front of our eyes. Theyā€™re lying right now, and theyā€™ll lie later when they start attacking our basic human rights and start rounding up our friends and their political opponents. And weā€™ll accept it, if not believe it.
