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.
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.
All i really want to know at this point is whether or not Fuck Joe Biden flags are passé now
Funny you should mention that; just today I saw a house still flying a “Let’s go Brandon” flag. I thought it was stupid last year when I drove by there and saw it, but this is next level obsession. I guess there wasn’t enough time to find a “Kambala bad” flag.
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.
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’”
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.

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 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.
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.
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
My mom, who voted tRump and is on public assistance, is gonna be very sad and not understand why.
“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!”
"I accidentally got caught in the net, but I’ll make that sacrifice so more of the other gets caught.’
Who’ve thought that a leopard would be a leopard and do leopard things?
Don’t worry she’ll find a way to blame Obama
They’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.
Barack Obiden Harris is about to have a lot of things blamed on him/her
to which they’ll even blame for that “him/her” pronoun they’ll use.
Haha I was honestly debating what to use there.
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”
Good. She sounds horrible
You had to live inside your own asshole to not know this was always the plan
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.
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.
Either they run into the filibuster in the senate and it stops most of this, or we finally do away with the filibuster and when the democrats come in to clean up after 2/4 years of disaster, we don’t have the filibuster stopping all the good ideas the democrats are suppose to support.
There will be no “democrats come in”. I’ll be surprised if there is ever another election.
The only thing that could change this is the people making heads roll.
But we won’t.
it’s funny, you think there’s enough time.
clocks done, boy. the bell has rung, the match called, and the crowd is gone.
pack your bags and find somewhere else to hang up your hat.
we lost, so much.
None of it will matter because there won’t ever be another free and fair election again.
Assuming the ditch the filibuster and implement 2025, there will be no more elections.
Rules (filibuster) for thee but not for me is the guiding principle of the right wing.
assuming they dont get rid of the filibuster, and then put it back on their way out if they manage to lose power again
That’s some 5d chess right there
Dictators don’t typically take too kindly to filibusters.
They know they can’t win if people know who they are and what they want. Maybe this will teach a small fraction of their supporters who they really are.
People knew, they still voted for him.
They gave him a fucking mandate
There are some who have voted out of ignorance, and not malice. You’re right, but not in every case.
Willfully ignorant is almost more malicious than spite.
Yeah. I consider both types to be bad people, but it’s important to know the difference sometimes. I refuse to be reduced to inaccurate arguments just because we lost.
Willful ignorance. It takes a certain type to somehow ignore every red flag that is presented before them.
every red flag
And the bull horn, and the press releases and the public speeches.
It’s not like they’ve gone through any pains to hide it. Honestly, he stood on stage and shouted it at people. He said it directly to the press.
I’m not sure he could have tried any harder to tell them exactly what his plan was and who he is.
He didn’t win despite who he is; he won because of it. He won because his base is that awful.
And I will NEVER let them forget it.
I wish they had the shame to process it.
Have you seen none of the flyers/banners that popped up this election? The fact that he’s a felon is celebrated. The fact that he’s a rapist is celebrated. The fact that he openly speaks against overtime pay is celebrated. Fuck, even his divorces are celebrated. He could literally shoot someone in the face at a rally, and it would just boost his support.
He’s Homelander, but fat and without superpowers.
They don’t care to understand the details or the nuance. They don’t need to. The team they are cheering on has told them what to do and they enjoy obeying their masters.
And they want to attack overtime and Social Security. Great fucking job, Americans!
Insert Shocked pikachu face
The Americans are now really the leopards that are eating their faces in this moment.
The Miami zombie was simply ahead of his time.
Those silly Americans, as always.
They know they can so it happens.
Honestly, I think they should do it and Democrats need to get on board or step aside. This is what the people, including the 15 million Democrats, independents, and progressives that didn’t vote this election, wanted this election.
What???
including the 15 million Democrats, independents, and progressives wanted this election.
The what?
there was an absence of 15-20 million votes that were never cast.
Trump actually got 2 million LESS votes than he got in 2020.
that means the majority of those missing votes were Democrats and Independents.
If you didn’t vote this election you’re worse than the red hat Nazis IMO.
No they won’t they’ll implement 50 - 75 percent of it. Ditching what’s not popular enough or appealing enough to business men and their popular base.
Let’s say you’re right and they get 50 percent of it done…I can’t even imagine what the world will look like in 4 years…it’ll be whatever fox tells me to believe I guess.
What is wrong with the Project 2025?
This person made posts celebrating Trump’s win by the way.
They deserve every one of those down votes
It’s literally the same policy goals as Sharia law.
Found the guy living inside his own asshole.
To be fair, I have heard a lot of vague fear mongering around the project with very little clear statements of exactly what it’s proposing, until this thread. None of this is to suggest it’s not as bad as people were making it out to be - it seems fucking horrific and regressive - but I won’t attack someone for wanting to know the specifics.
Mind you, I’m Canadian. If I were American, I suspect I’d have read at least parts of the primary text, because that’s what I tend to do.
EDIT: Okay, I decided to start reading about it right after making this post. It’s fucked. You all are fucked. Welcome to a White Christian Nationalist Ethnostate.
The comment from Maven is, as you found, accurate.
The answer is all of it.
Literally all of it
It wants to get rid of free school meals for children
And ban porn. I think that’ll piss off more people.
Damit! I knew it!
Serious question, with no hidden agenda or follow up comments: Do you enjoy watching other people suffer?
"Yes, because the reduced happiness of others elevates mine in comparison. This is because I believe in a rigid social hierarchy where happiness is zero-sum, and it’s the only way I’m able to climb the ladder. Once the short-lived boost in happiness inevitably wears off due to the world not actually working in that way, I will further look to enable suffering to forever chase the high in the only way I know. I will never truly feel deep satisfaction and inner peace, and I will slowly decline into old age feeling ever more isolated and bitter.
Get rekt, libs."
Thanks.
