The Heritage Foundation has been working on this plan since Reagan was President!!! For over 40 years to refine their plan!

I’m from Canada, learning about Project 2025. Americans need to vote against this!! Canada is vulnerable too😢

[osczbde]

Thank god I’m not American, I’m terrified for all of you!! Please wake up people!!!

[angie]

Thank you Molly and Mr. Zimmer. The more I learn about this Project, the more I dislike it. But we have to learn the plans they want to impose on American people.

Every democrat or intelligent independent, woman and sane republican MUST GET OUT AND VOTE IN NOVEMBER. NO APATHY

[loispage]

It astonishes me how few of my friends and family are unaware of Project 2025. I'm doing what I can to get the word out. Thank you, Molly.

[westgapeachpi]

You know what is astounding? That there are so many emotionally immature people who need to dominate other people in order to satisfy their egos and superegos. It's astounding. This is a manual for bullies, psychopaths, and sadists. Stand up for yourselves and for the women you love. Tell these people that we aren't taking this and they can go pick on each other. Delivery refused.

Molly, it’s important to talk about Project 2025 and the obvious things like abortion. However, I think it is as important to talk about how older people and veterans, etc. are going to be effected.

[beverlycolbert]

Thank you Molly! This is so frightening.

[thundercro]

I love how they were parading this project 2025 and when the public started saying that this is insane and unhinged, they realized they said the quiet part out loud they immidietly started : "Oh no we were never meaning to implement it, hah hah, don't belive the lies"

[chuckkottke]

Keep discussing this, the American people need to know.🗽🇺🇸⚖️🌎

[todeepinthefandomd]

Don't let this happen, dear Americans!

[aarong]

When I talk about Project 2025, I sound like a conspiracy nut. Yes, it's that bad. Because it's so "out there", people aren't taking it seriously. Thank you for bringing Project 2025's ills to light, Molly and Thomas.

These are not pillars; they are swords. These are the four swords. They don’t hold anything up; they tear down, destroy, fire, dismiss, and control.

For those that watched the series Handmaid's Tale, this is what happened in regards to a government hostile takeover from the inside. They ended up restructuring the American government (aka destroying democracy) and it was built on conservative policies and white patriarchal Christianity views.

[neilaseaman]

A must-watch for Americans interested in saving democracy.

[vjudcch]

Thank you for exposing this everywhere and telling the truth to the people.

[johncraft]

Amazing to me that this is even possible. Sad to see the country I served my whole life becoming an authoritarian hellscape.

[corpse]

we need to keep talking about this. you're amazing

[rhondabergh]

This 900 plus page Project 2025 document reads like a horror novel. We should all be terrified. Thank you Molly and Thomas for putting this out there
