One thing I heard mentioned by Heritage that people aren’t giving enough attention to is that Project2025 is for the ‘next Republican administration’ - which means that, even if we don’t elect Trump this cycle, the plan just get pushed to 2029.
The Project2025 threat doesn’t end by simply not electing Trump - we need to prevent a Republican majority and/or POTUS until we can somehow safeguard all of the important elements from a rogue group or party dismantling them. It’s not a short term threat.
So let's just keep our current government intact because we all love high prices on pretty much everything, wars developing all over the world. Trillions of $$ in debt, soaring crime and illegal border crossings, we need to do something, yes we the people not our politicians that have been in government 20, 30, 40, and 50 years, they cause problems and then ask for your votes and money and promise to fix things, you're all fools that allow this puppet show to continue. I believe we're DOOMED!!!!!!!
Anyone with a good graphic for "Educators against Agenda 47" ? As a faculty in higher ed and huge advocate for the importance of fostering critical thinking skills, I want to highlight this to my colleagues. I try and reference Trump's actual agenda (https://www.donaldjtrump.com/agenda47) which highly aligns to many items in P25 but for which it can't be said it is "disinformation" by his supporters.
I'm an objective observer and while I have yet to complete reading this screed, I'll just start with the first few Straw Men I encountered:
"That essentially means placing the entire federal government, including once independent agencies like the Department of Justice, under direct presidential control. That opens the door to drastic steps. The Lincoln Project provided some key talking points about what Project 2025 promises to do to our government in a second Trump administration: Pack federal agencies and courts with MAGA extremists who will do whatever Trump wishes. Weaponize the Justice Department against Trump’s political opponents. Politicize the military by purging all of Trump’s dissenters.Eliminate the Department of Education."
ONE: The Lincoln Project is a Hate Group (to throw their terminology back at them.) They irrationally hate conservatives and will do anything possible to stop conservative initiatives. These are not objective, reasoned people.
TWO: P2025 does not promote one government control. Where do you even get that idea? THIS IS PROJECTION if anything.
The Department of Ed, established in 1980 (so I somehow got through public schooling without it) IS one government control. P2025 proposes eradicated this in favor of local communities according to the constitution.
THREE: What the hell is a "MAGA EXTREMIST" and how is it worse than a PROGRESSIVE EXTREMIST, the kind of person who would say, without a shred of self-awareness, that "white supremacy is our nation's biggest threat." Or that "systemic racism is holding black American down." THAT'S EXTREMISM. Add a few burning police precincts to that....and the most idiotic, damaging to black Americans slogan, "defund the police" and you've got the Kristallnacht the LEFTIST EXTREMISTS want. Wait -- they already did that, and they KILLED INNOCENT BLACK PEOPLE IN THE PROCESS.
POST THE QUOTED PASSAGES THAT SUPPORT THIS CRAZY "SUMMARY."
I am not a conservative. I am an objective reader. One way to "destroy Democracy" is to write smearing, fallacious garbage designed to scare people, and get them to hate the OTHER.
It is well established by medical ethics that if a fetus is born with a chance of living outside the womb, doctors must do all they can to give it that chance. Hence the importance of "viability" in the Roe/Casey approach. On consequence of the "life begins at conception" platform is that it would give "equal protection" to fetuses BEFORE viability. So if you have a miscarriage at week 10, it is your duty to cart the result to the hospital so the doctors can to "do their best" to keep it alive. Ectopic Pregnancy? Set up vats to keep the result growing to independent life. Fetus not developing a brain or lungs or a heart by week 21? Transplant organs, I guess. Otherwise in come the lawsuits for failing to give the group of cells equal protection.
Not cutting Social Security in any way? Well, the tax policy doesn't provide for increasing the fund. So it will just be "nature taking its course" when the money runs out.
I have actually had only good experiences with Medicare Advantage--I don't really care what insurance companies make so long as I am getting excellent coverage. What nobody notes is that much of the money they make is from their power to make doctors and hospitals take lower fees for services than they would get straight from Medicare. What the GOVERNMENT pays on these plans is just what a non-enrolled doctor who takes straight Medicare get. Everyone complains about the high cost of medical services and doesn't notice that Medicare Advantage actually does something about it.
So I'm not particularly on the bandwagon of "Advantage Is Awful" but I do think there needs to be choice, particularly if one lives in an area, unlike mine, where Advantage covers multiple clinics and hospitals and the choice of doctors is really wide. And certainly abuses by insurance companies have to be curbed--but that's a completely different issue from whether they should exist at all.
A whole lot of stuff is hiding under the bland rubric of "Eliminate the Dept of Education." It doesn't mean stopping Federal funding of schools. It just means moving various programs to other Departments. It means "block grants" to states who can use the funds for whatever they "legally" want. It does on and on and on about "school choice vouchers" and I can see nothing that keeps as state from using ALL Federal funding for such vouchers if state law allows vouchers in the first place, in addition to whatever they are draining from public schools by the existing state funding. There is NO plan for being sure the schools receiving the vouchers have any accountability. A school could get Federal tax dollars for teaching pure Bible study. Or pure fascist ideology. The restrictions on teachers are all on PUBLIC school teachers, which prohibit even discussing the issues raised by CRT theory (no school actually teaches the theory) or DEI or Gender Fluidity. Teachers can't even call kids by any name other than on their birth certificate without written consent of the parents. So much for a Betty whose mom prefers Elizabeth. Did your folks name you Francis Wilfred and you hate it? Too bad; every time the teacher calls on you everyone will know what your real name is.
And the recommendation is to raise Parental Rights to a right just as strong as Free Speech and "religious liberty." Pretty sure that doesn't include the right of a parent to have their kids read "The Bluest Eye" from the school library.
What we all have to do is look at the sections and find out what poisonous easter eggs that don't really connect with the bullet point description are hidden away in them.
Is anyone having new problems sharing this and other great essays on Substack to Facebook? Now when I press the "share" button or icon, the various means for sharing disappear almost immediately! This is such an important breakdown of P2025 I very much want to share to my FB page.
I still don't understand how what Heritage Foundation is doing is legal. How is this not considered a dangerous conspiracy? Especially, if they had threatened violence if there is any resistance?
That part I also don't understand. Every person who becomes a naturalizated citizen has to swear that they don't want to overthrow the government. Even tourists that come into country on visa have attest to that. It looks the law isn't applied equally all-around - again.
Yes, that's exactly right! And that's the question they ask repeatedly during the "are you a terrorist" interview. "Do you plan to engage in an armed action against this country?" "Do you plan to overthrow the government?" "Are you part of any organization planning such actions?" So.... yeah.... I honestly don't get it.
I really resent how the Christian right is forcing their values upon the nation and the Congress and SCOTUS are simply enabling it. This openly discriminates against millions of non-Christian citizens and unconstitutionally deems them "less than" and worthy of persecution and worse.
“There are parts of the plan we will not share” - that’s what my Grandma called “a pig in a poke” (meaning like poop in a bag). When 100% of what you show is BS, you don’t have to see the rest to know they’re up to no good. Thanks for the summary!
So incredibly heartbreaking to see how much of this they have achieved in one year.

They sponsored and hosted the RNC's National Convention? Is that not direct involvement?
Thank you for this!

Thank you!!! I couldn't have said it better!! So tired of the bs fear mongering, you summed it up in one comment. Bravo 👏🏼
What a joke - more propaganda that everyone falls for created by think tanks to scare everyone - and the Heritage pedophiles no less.

Thank you for clarifying more about Project 2025. Very useful.
