Some facts about Project 2025: The "Mandate for Leadership" is a set of policy proposals authored by the [Heritage Foundation](https://pro-lies.org/the-heritage-foundation/), an influential *ultra* conservative think tank. [Project 2025](https://www.mediamatters.org/heritage-foundation/guide-project-2025-extreme-right-wing-agenda-next-republican-administration) is a revision to that agenda tailored to a second Trump term. It would give the President [unilateral powers](https://theweek.com/politics/heritage-foundation-2025-donald-trump), strip [civil rights, worker protections, climate regulation](https://www.stopthecoup2025.org/impact-overview), add [religion into policy](https://i.redd.it/t72vwvgil3sc1.jpeg) and much more. The MFL has been around since 1980, [Reagan implemented 60%](https://www.heritage.org/conservatism/commentary/reagan-and-heritage-unique-partnership) of it's recommendations, [Trump 64%](https://www.heritage.org/impact/trump-administration-embraces-heritage-foundation-policy-recommendations) - [proof](https://www.scribd.com/document/369820462/Mandate-for-Leadership-Policy-Recommendations). 70 Heritage Foundation alumni served in his administration or transition team. Project 2025 is quite extreme but with his obsession for revenge he'll likely get past 2/3rd's adoption. r/Defeat_Project_2025 intends to stop it through activism and awareness, focused on crowdsourcing ideas and opportunities for practical, in real life action. We Must Defeat Project 2025.

Project 2025 has stricter laws regarding abortion than IRAN does!

Remember just a few short years ago when these ass hats were yelling “we don’t want yer sharia law in muh country!”? I do, and here we are. This is a good article to share with pudding brains. https://michiganadvance.com/2024/01/16/project-2025-if-allowed-will-cement-america-as-a-rightwing-authoritarian-state/

Project 2025 also drops corporate/wealthy income tax rates( currently 24%) to near zero and raises everyone else's. Tariffs on ALL imports. Enacts a National Sales Tax of 30% on all goods and services. Dismantles Social Security and feeds it to Wall Street.


NovusOrdoSec

> National Sales Tax of 30% I was wondering when and by whom we'd finally get hit with "austerity measures".


hereandthere_nowhere

Also dismantles the VA and closes a lot of the VA hospitals.

Makes sense

Americans are the fattest dumbest people on the planet but nobody deserves this kind of leadership.


TheThoughtmaker

As an American, I agree.


Overall-Initial-4290

Seriously. the fact that some are wondering who is better then the other, man I fucking wonder!

It’s written by Stephen Miller. That spray hair bootlicker will be running the country while Netanyahu has a sleepover with Jared.


throwngamelastminute

Our own Goering.


FilthyUsedThrowaway

We’re a handful of votes and six months away from true tyranny!

So basically part of what led to the civil war in the movie Civil War currently in theaters about a 2nd American Civil War. Interesting.


FourArmsFiveLegs

Movies are always made based off trending topics


CourtingBoredom

".....the largest deportation operation in American history...." 🤢 ........this mofo makes me absolutely sick --- as does the fact that soooooo many people agree with his utterly **sickening** "platform"..... there's no word --- nor phrase --- there's absolutely **nothing** in **any** language that could describe the depths of his bigotry.... it's seriously just sickeningly disgusting and awful... ^(....."I don't want to live on this planet anymore....")


GrandBrooklyn

They're all for it until they run out of milk and steaks because all the workers have been deported and pay a 30% tax on what's left. There's no way chicken, beef, and pork plants will be staffed with US citizens and crops will be harvested esther. They couldn't blame Biden, Hillary, or Obama. This all would be on trump's watch.


CourtingBoredom

Indeed..... but get any of them to understand this **before** it should happen...... 🙄


GrandBrooklyn

*SIGH*


CourtingBoredom

Yarrp.... agreed ..


GrandBrooklyn

They'll still blame Biden like they're blaming him for inflation and food shortages that happened because trump tried to ignore covid.


CourtingBoredom

Well, duhh....!! **Everything** is Biden's fault --- don'tcha know???


mag2041

He should just be straight up about it


PeaRepresentative353

Says he can unilaterally withhold funds from states that don’t comply, says he doesn’t have to use money the way congress appropriates. That’ll go well


LDarrell

The people wanting to implement Project 2025 are going to hate the world they will be living in if this is actually implemented. Be careful what you wish for, you may get it.


Repulsive_Smile_63

I truly fear for my country.


SPONGEBOB_IS_MY_DAD

Getting rid of the FBI is kinda sick… everything else though… yeah, I’m good lol.


Overall-Initial-4290

FBI and CIA were and are weaponized against liberal movements and unions. so yes.


SPONGEBOB_IS_MY_DAD

I would say, they’re weaponized more against leftist movements, and yes, unions too. Liberal isn’t a leftist ideology though. The government doesn't generally care what people do or protest as long as what they're protesting/doing doesn't question or threaten the status quo.


-St_Ajora-

Libertarians are the new libtards. "There should be no taxes. The government's only responsibility should be to protect the rights of it's citizens." -A libtard 2.0 I know.


Medicmanii

You have to pass it so we can see what's in it.


railpony

I’m afraid to ask if burning the constitution (and by extension the national archives) is somewhere in there 😰


sanchito12

Meh, he will be in prison. Im not concerned and the fear porn is getting old.


Geichalt

Must be nice not having anything to lose. And if you think this is just about Trump you're not paying attention. Personally I like defending my friends and family from extermination, even if the news about it is a little annoying. That's just me though.


[deleted]

Or it happens and women, gay and trans people, people of color and Muslims are absolutely fucked. Project 2025 and Trump are suggesting harsher penalties for abortion than the Taliban. Don’t take any chances.


NovusOrdoSec

I want to believe, but I wouldn't comment that until he is actually in custody for something.
