Project 2025: The Radical Conservative Plan to Reshape America Under Trump | WSJ

The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 is a radical blueprint for a future Republican administration. Former president Donald Trump has distanced himself from the plan, but Democrats aren’t buying Trump’s rebuke. If enacted, this 920-page document would usher in the most conservative executive branch in modern American history.

WSJ takes an inside look at Project 2025’s most controversial policy proposals and how it could transform the American government.

This is not conservatism. It is authoritarianism.

[marcellszabo]

We do realise that hitler and Stalin literally did this at the beginning of their reigns.

[TheDrozd]

As a Russian, I hope you guys make the right choice this November. Do not repeat our mistakes, do not handle too much power to one man and one party, do not give up your civil liberties. Here we know all too well how it ends.

[jordans]

Im German. We learned ALOT about giving too much power to one person. Lets not do that again please

[paradoxalJohn]

Concentrating more power at the hands of the president is a terrible idea and this should not be a partisan stance.

[sanjeeeeeeeeeee]

We’re witnessing America becoming a dictatorship before GTA 6

[drnflyover]

The American version of "Mein Kampf"

[breffnymadden]

Love how maintaining the quality of our drinking water is a radical leftist agenda.

[Minecraftzocker]

How is more power for the president compatible with conservatism ?!

[julieworcester]

So we are going to give a psycho pathetic malignant narcissist this power?

[davidg]

This is frightening, and the fact that so many people don't seem to understand the threat this represents to American liberty is appalling.

[ewoksalot]

Remember this: Project 2025 is NOT about Trump, he just happens to be at the helm currently. With more than 100 supporting organizations, this can easily become "Project 2029" or "Project 2033".
As an Independent voter, this is a bigger threat to the country I love than I think most people really understand.

[CandyCoated]

Scary. People have to stop worshipping Presidents.

[Anna-tjmp]

One of my ancestors signed the Declaration of Independence. He did not sign up for a monarchy. This is horrific. Government for the people, by the people!!!

[patrickmcgovern]

Checks and balances were written into the constitution for a reason, and it's alarming that anyone thinks it's a good idea to try to do away with that.

[bigeye]

Literally a fascist manifesto, 80 years ago Americans died to free Europe from these systems and ideologies! Now they want to build the same stuff in the US? How can anyone think it's a good idea to introduce such fascist structures and practices?

[anothercitizen]

This is how countries who have constitutions nearly identical to ours have slipped into authoritarianism

[jaredmotopnw]

Whatever happened to “we the people?” Not “we the heritage foundation.”

[JRN]

That dude from the Heritage Foundation is insane. No future generation is going to be on board with this. What a weirdo.
