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.
You mean they didn’t write a 900 page manifesto for the lulz?
My understanding is it was written by an individual or individuals, then passed around and got approval from other influential people before being declared the plan.
That’s how plans usually form, from what I understand.
But Trump said he didn’t know anything about it! Are you saying he might’ve stated a mistruth?
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
Yea, but at least the proportional representation systems in Europe were delaying them a bit to cut off a few hostile actors, create defenses…now it is coming from the most important ally the disinfo storm is going to reach cat 6 :(
its frustrating dealing with this overseas. i am as far from the us as you can get, and it’s worse dealing with it here. i wish i were back home at the moment with people who get it.
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.
Those statements aren’t contrarian at all they will realize it will be too late. Leopards will have a feast of faces.
It’s already too late. It’s just a matter of time.
You had to live inside your own asshole to not know this was always the plan
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.
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.
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.
Can’t wait for every one of you fucks to realize what you’ve done voting for that scum. We’re all fucked.
They’ll find some way to blame Dems for anything that becomes too unpopular, and their base will willingly buy into it to avoid responsibility - until something bites them personally. It’ll take far too long for it to affect enough of them personally to save the rest of us with some semblance of rationality, though.
they will not realize anything. they don’t believe what any of the news outlets say. we have been saying this for 8 years.
Maybe for a little while - until the department of education & a national abortion ban are completely wiped from society. All of us, not just the ones who made the right choice will suffer.
it’s been 8 years. disillusionment is not happening.
My mom, who voted tRump and is on public assistance, is gonna be very sad and not understand why.
Once she gets her benefits slashed be sure to talk about how great the Republicans are and isn’t she glad she got what she wanted with her vote? Thank goodness trump got rid of that pesky public assistance, that was costing the rich real money.
I plan on reminding every family member, at every opportunity, when they complain about some benefit they’ve lost, “tough shit, you specifically voted for this”
“but he’s hurting the wrong people, tell him that, he must not know it!”
“the face-eating-leopards aren’t supposed to eat my face!”
Who’ve thought that a leopard would be a leopard and do leopard things?
"I accidentally got caught in the net, but I’ll make that sacrifice so more of the other gets caught.’
Time to find her bootstraps
If the leopards haven’t eaten her face already.
Good. She sounds horrible
She is/was . She is the type of person to smoke with the windows up around her asmatic child and have 3 abortions and be desperate to vote for other woman to also not have that choice
Anyone who thought different, who thought “Project 2025” was off the table because Trump said so!: You are idiots who should not be allowed to touch anyhing that could break, and you better not breed.
Unfortunately it always seems to be the dumbest that breed most.
Idiocracy wasn’t supposed to be a documentary.
Honestly, I’d take it over what we have now, or are about to get. Those people were at least smart enough to elect the best candidate.
Idiocracy is the most unrealistic movie ever made. President Comacho has a problem, finds the most qualified person to solve it, listens to them (reluctantly) and then dosent take credit. That would never happen in any political reality.
This is why Project 2025 intends to ban abortion and limit contraceptives. They want to proliferate their voter base.
I fully believe Trump when he says
“I haven’t read it. I don’t want to read it purposely. I’m not going to read it.”
Note, he didn’t say he would stop other people from executing the plan.
I wish Biden has the balls to label them as traitors and use his SC approved powers to jail them for treason.
They’d be right back out on Jan. 20th. Have to do something more permanent.
Have to do something more permanent.
Trump’s lawyers argued successfully in front of SCOTUS that a president could assassinate their political opponent.
…As long as the courts decide it’s an “official act,” ending with the SCOTUS itself. Nothing Biden did would ever be deemed an official act by them.
What would he have to lose at this point?
I agree! But he’d never do it even if he knew for a fact there would be no consequences for him from it.
I sure won’t be holding my breath expecting him to, especially not after the speech he just gave.
I just looked up the gist of it. My reaction:
got a link for a non mercan?
He isn’t even candidate Biden, in this case, so it’s an official act. The law is so fucking bad.
Navy seals then.
This is probably more valid than some think. Trump and his cronies are a clear threat to the country and must be eliminated before the damage is done.
The problem being that the majority of voters want fascism. Defeating it requires more than just removing the leaders because more will just take their place.
I’m not so sure. I think these people genuinely do want to wriggle out of any sense of societal responsibility and want to ensure that there is an underclass ripe for extortion.
But I don’t think many of them would catch a bullet for those ideas.
Yea, secret voting can be a way to launder your responsibility, by contributing to make someone else responsible for what you want to do.
Did anyone ACTUALLY believe they didn’t?
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.
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.
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.

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
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’”
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.
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.
My aunt :|
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??!
Blood soaked Nazi face… Let us all fear it I’m the form Trumpie.
Don’t forget: replacing nonpartisan government experts with Trump appointees, defending and reclassifying public media and banning pornography.
What? No tiddies?
Not tiddies? Where will be our stress busters?
Cave paintings.
Granted, you’ll have to travel to see them since they’ll be banned on the internet.
Just grab 'em by the pussy, I guess?
Are we witnessing the extinction of mankind?
The hastening of it via increased climate change, yes.
Earth is already past the critical point tempurature… No matter how much we clean up now (which we won’t), the earth is already heading down the global warming path
Sure, but we could at least slow it down. Not happening now.
We were already witnessing that.
I’ve been watching since 2016, buddy.
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.
In response to another post about Project 2025
Congratulations nzmaa, you won. You’re going to live in my mind 24/7 for the next four years.
We all knew this as did everyone who voted him in. When you look at your neighbours never forget who they are.

There are trends - this video explains it well. Trump will reshape America, he will cement power and make sure it’s much easier for MAGA to succeed in future (making it easy, rigging the system, for them to be re-elected).
You are entering a new authoritarian regime in the USA.
Many folks voted Trump because they don’t trust politicians, they don’t trust Democracy, and now they get what they want - Democracy takes the biggest hit in history - and it’s not because of Trump, it’s a worldwide trend - there have been no new Democracies for a good many years already.
Project 2025 (which Trump laughably kept saying ‘I never heard of it, I never read it’ - he’s laughing his tits off, he loves the lower class working Americans, he loves Americans with low education… because they just signed him into power thinking he gives a toss about them - he doesn’t.
He hates them, he hates women, he’s racist, misogynistic, a criminal and a liar.
Project 2025 is a right wing manifesto - opposing abortion and reproductive rights, even outlawing FDA approved safe drugs used in medical abortion… reviving 19th century extreme right wing laws.
Also opposing LGBTQ rights, opposing immigrants’ rights, a racial manual for reorganising the entire federal government to serve a right wing agenda.
You will see now mass raids, deportations, an end to birthright citizenship, breaking up families and dismantling asylum.
Trump will also work to bring in power of warrantless surveillance - to be exploited to spy on Americans and their data… radically expanding executive power and making a mockery of American’s idea of having freedom.
Trump will also use executive authority to limit First Amendment freedoms, he will have power to mute the press, also damaging fair replresentation in the voting process (he said - you won’t have to vote again, with a wry grin on his face).
Watching Trump you can see he’s TELLING YOU what he plans to do, laughing at you for being stupid, because he knows you don’t take it seriously.
Basically, it’s the fascist’s playbook - and you voted this POS into power.
