What is Project 2025? A look at the conservative presidential wish list

Project 2025, a controversial plan for the next Republican presidency, has caused Democrats to sound alarms amid the intensifying presidential race.

The plan has been organized by conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation to serve as a blueprint for the next conservative president. While Trump has distanced himself from the project, many of his former and current advisers and appointees are intimately intertwined with Project 2025. Here is what it looks like.

What the hell happened to the GOP. None of this is conservative.

[dodobono]

He was literally at a heritage foundation speech a DAY AGO. He clearly wants this

[simonzonenblick]

If he knows nothing about it, how does he know it is ridiculous and abysmal?

I am a Republican. Why do they want to abolish the Consolidated Audit Trail? Why does trump want to fire Gary Gensler? This is extremely troubling to me to say the least.

[stevedallas]

I see nothing here I disagree with except for any cuts to EBT, but that would never happen anyway. Dismantling or revamping the three letter agencies would be a good start. The Department of Education in particular is a complete failure. These are all issues that should be limited to State jurisdiction.

Gonna find me another video explaining this, the music makes this impossible to listen to for people with lowered hearing

Republicans have been expressing their disgust with the country, everything from infrastructure, to healthcare, to homelessness, to law enforcement, to the people in the cities and the economy. They seem to forget the same set of complaints were voiced in 2015 and that after four years of Trump he left things worse than when he took over. Biden has been fixing things, a lot of work is being done on infrastructure and the unemployment is lower than ever. Republicans keep on complaining, but not only do not help but actively obstruct the work to fix the problems. One thing this Country has maintained and it is the freedom for those that do not like it here, to leave, no questions asked. They should start making their travel arrangements for 2025. People that care more about themselves than they do about the Country are no longer welcomed.

I’m a red county Georgia voter, and I’ll be voting for Kamala Harris in November.

[kymbartley]

I'm so sick of right wing extremism. GO KAMALA!! I'm so excited to vote for this strong, smart, compassionate woman. Hell

[AGuy-xd]

Trump just said to a crowed vote for me one more time and you won’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed. Also said he would be down with suspending articles of the constitution when it benefits him

Trump to CNN: "I now nothing about project 2025. Its a terrible bill."
Trump at the inauguration: "We will implement project 25 immediately".
Trump on tv the next day: Signs law eliminating senior's social security, medicare, healthcare, voting, and the rest of our rights.
CNN the following day: "President Trump just signed project 2025 into law." "Didn't Americans not see this coming?" "Someone should have told them".
Trump voters after their benefits aren't in the mail: " We're screwed. We have to vote Trump out again", not realizing he can't run again.

If it's a conservative plan, I know its intention is to restrict what I can read, decide whether I can vote, when and where I can conceive and who I can sleep with.

[mr.obsidian]

And Kamala Harris you expect me to believe that you don't have an agenda yourself for when you get in office😂

[SimonGonzales-tc]

Harris democrats 2024 take trump to prison already

[TheSuperskadoosh]

Its fascism straight up no ifs about it

If this is Trump's plan why is all the comments supporting KH

9 of the top 10 states with the lowest household income? The Republican-led states of Mississippi, West Virginia, Arkansas, Louisiana, Alabama, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Kentucky.
Does anybody truly understand how this will impact the poor in these states?
