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.

    Iā€™m so fucking done with this country man, people make me so tired of living. Iā€™m so disappointed, and the amount of lives this orange fuck is going to destroy is so immense itā€™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 shouldnā€™t even have basic rights.

        Yea, but at least the proportional representation systems in Europe were delaying them a bit to cut off a few hostile actors, create defensesā€¦now it is coming from the most important ally the disinfo storm is going to reach cat 6 :(

      Part of me wants average people to realize the Republican leadership isnā€™t on their side. The other part of me realizes once normal people take notice, it will be too late.
