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.
They know they can so it happens.
Can’t wait for every one of you fucks to realize what you’ve done voting for that scum. We’re all fucked.
They’ll find some way to blame Dems for anything that becomes too unpopular, and their base will willingly buy into it to avoid responsibility - until something bites them personally. It’ll take far too long for it to affect enough of them personally to save the rest of us with some semblance of rationality, though.
they will not realize anything. they don’t believe what any of the news outlets say. we have been saying this for 8 years.
Maybe for a little while - until the department of education & a national abortion ban are completely wiped from society. All of us, not just the ones who made the right choice will suffer.
it’s been 8 years. disillusionment is not happening.
Anyone who thought different, who thought “Project 2025” was off the table because Trump said so!: You are idiots who should not be allowed to touch anyhing that could break, and you better not breed.
I fully believe Trump when he says
“I haven’t read it. I don’t want to read it purposely. I’m not going to read it.”
Note, he didn’t say he would stop other people from executing the plan.
Unfortunately it always seems to be the dumbest that breed most.
Idiocracy wasn’t supposed to be a documentary.
Honestly, I’d take it over what we have now, or are about to get. Those people were at least smart enough to elect the best candidate.
Idiocracy is the most unrealistic movie ever made. President Comacho has a problem, finds the most qualified person to solve it, listens to them (reluctantly) and then dosent take credit. That would never happen in any political reality.
This is why Project 2025 intends to ban abortion and limit contraceptives. They want to proliferate their voter base.
Get sterilized while you still have the chance
My wife was de-uterized a few years back (mostly for other reasons), but it’s been the best.
I wish Biden has the balls to label them as traitors and use his SC approved powers to jail them for treason.
They’d be right back out on Jan. 20th. Have to do something more permanent.
Navy seals then.
This is probably more valid than some think. Trump and his cronies are a clear threat to the country and must be eliminated before the damage is done.
The problem being that the majority of voters want fascism. Defeating it requires more than just removing the leaders because more will just take their place.
I’m not so sure. I think these people genuinely do want to wriggle out of any sense of societal responsibility and want to ensure that there is an underclass ripe for extortion.
But I don’t think many of them would catch a bullet for those ideas.
Yea, secret voting can be a way to launder your responsibility, by contributing to make someone else responsible for what you want to do.
Trump’s lawyers argued successfully in front of SCOTUS that a president could assassinate their political opponent.
…As long as the courts decide it’s an “official act,” ending with the SCOTUS itself. Nothing Biden did would ever be deemed an official act by them.
What would he have to lose at this point?
He isn’t even candidate Biden, in this case, so it’s an official act. The law is so fucking bad.
I agree! But he’d never do it even if he knew for a fact there would be no consequences for him from it.
I sure won’t be holding my breath expecting him to, especially not after the speech he just gave.
I just looked up the gist of it. My reaction:
got a link for a non mercan?
Have to do something more permanent.
Are we witnessing the extinction of mankind?
The hastening of it via increased climate change, yes.
Earth is already past the critical point tempurature… No matter how much we clean up now (which we won’t), the earth is already heading down the global warming path
Sure, but we could at least slow it down. Not happening now.
We were already witnessing that.
I’ve been watching since 2016, buddy.

There are trends - this video explains it well. Trump will reshape America, he will cement power and make sure it’s much easier for MAGA to succeed in future (making it easy, rigging the system, for them to be re-elected).
You are entering a new authoritarian regime in the USA.
Many folks voted Trump because they don’t trust politicians, they don’t trust Democracy, and now they get what they want - Democracy takes the biggest hit in history - and it’s not because of Trump, it’s a worldwide trend - there have been no new Democracies for a good many years already.
Project 2025 (which Trump laughably kept saying ‘I never heard of it, I never read it’ - he’s laughing his tits off, he loves the lower class working Americans, he loves Americans with low education… because they just signed him into power thinking he gives a toss about them - he doesn’t.
He hates them, he hates women, he’s racist, misogynistic, a criminal and a liar.
Project 2025 is a right wing manifesto - opposing abortion and reproductive rights, even outlawing FDA approved safe drugs used in medical abortion… reviving 19th century extreme right wing laws.
Also opposing LGBTQ rights, opposing immigrants’ rights, a racial manual for reorganising the entire federal government to serve a right wing agenda.
You will see now mass raids, deportations, an end to birthright citizenship, breaking up families and dismantling asylum.
Trump will also work to bring in power of warrantless surveillance - to be exploited to spy on Americans and their data… radically expanding executive power and making a mockery of American’s idea of having freedom.
Trump will also use executive authority to limit First Amendment freedoms, he will have power to mute the press, also damaging fair replresentation in the voting process (he said - you won’t have to vote again, with a wry grin on his face).
Watching Trump you can see he’s TELLING YOU what he plans to do, laughing at you for being stupid, because he knows you don’t take it seriously.
Basically, it’s the fascist’s playbook - and you voted this POS into power.
The Americans are now really the leopards that are eating their faces in this moment.
Those silly Americans, as always.
The Miami zombie was simply ahead of his time.
I’m so fucking done with this country man, people make me so tired of living. I’m so disappointed, and the amount of lives this orange fuck is going to destroy is so immense it’s just so depressing. and I hate living in a red state surrounded by idiots who genuinely think this is a good idea, and think I shouldn’t even have basic rights.
Part of me wants average people to realize the Republican leadership isn’t on their side. The other part of me realizes once normal people take notice, it will be too late.
It’s already too late. It’s just a matter of time.
Those statements aren’t contrarian at all they will realize it will be too late. Leopards will have a feast of faces.
Bad news
Trump is amplifying the rhetoric overseas too
So, he’s also ruining other countries too
its frustrating dealing with this overseas. i am as far from the us as you can get, and it’s worse dealing with it here. i wish i were back home at the moment with people who get it.
Yea, but at least the proportional representation systems in Europe were delaying them a bit to cut off a few hostile actors, create defenses…now it is coming from the most important ally the disinfo storm is going to reach cat 6 :(
What is Project 2025?
You mean they didn’t write a 900 page manifesto for the lulz?
But Trump said he didn’t know anything about it! Are you saying he might’ve stated a mistruth?
My understanding is it was written by an individual or individuals, then passed around and got approval from other influential people before being declared the plan.
That’s how plans usually form, from what I understand.
Did anyone ACTUALLY believe they didn’t?
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’”
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.
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.
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.
Any conservative issues that are motivated primarily by religion, such as abortion, Trump doesn’t give a fuck about. He’ll just sign whatever they put in front of him. Things stemming primarily from racism or misogyny, though, he’s all for.

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 a 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.
If you weren’t already on a list you’re part of the problem.
Have you ever been arrested for being on a list, because I’d like to walk through that with you.
Edit: Nevermind, waste of timeYes, you people are.
? You were describing your experiences, what are you talking about?
Edit: you see how someone asked you a question and you created a “people” when they were asking a simple question, that’s how I know you are easy to accept defining mass groups of people into groups with no conclusive information. Like racisism and sexism. You shoveled your own shit there
My aunt :|
Factcheck and similar ones always claimed that Trump supporting project 2025 was Fake or needs context
I have a feeling someone paid good money for Snopes and similar sites. Or have some kompromat on rheir editors.
It’s because he maintained plausible deniability, no bribes or kompromat necessary. Fact checkers couldn’t definitively say he supported project 25 because he feigned ignorance.
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
Same I know first time Trump voters who believed him when he said he distanced himself from project 2025. I don’t know why anyone would believe him when most of the shit he says is a lie. The only true things he’s said are that he wants to be a dictator and punish his enemies.
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.
This election just proves that I made the right choice changing to Libertarian last year.
In deep red Indiana, more people voted for RFK, Jr. than Chase Oliver.
So few people, even in a deep red state, want what libertarians are selling that more people voted for a guy who dropped out of the race.
So if you mean that you made the right choice to never, ever get what you want, you most certainly did.
Okay well I don’t agree with those libertarians there are factions in our party esp with right leaning side as well. Idk what you want me to say
You don’t agree with which libertarians? The ones that chose your party’s candidate? Maybe you’re in the wrong party.
No I would have voted for Chase Oliver if he had any chance to get close to the White House. I’m saying I don’t agree with libertarians that voted for rfk but those are right leaning libertarians that total anti regulatory. I’m center left leaning libertarian
I’m center left leaning libertarian
Not if you wanted Chase Oliver to be the president, you’re not.
deleted by creator
Oh no, I’m sure you’re a libertarian.
I just don’t buy the left-leaning part considering Oliver’s platform.
You’re a fucking idiot. Lol thanks for getting us trump
I voted for Harris. Thanks for assuming
I switched to the Libertarian party
I voted for Harris
Make up your mind or stfu and stop trying to bait people.
I’m not bating anyone. I’m a left leaning libertarian and there’s nothing wrong with voting for someone outside my party. You don’t have any right to tell me what not to say. It’s called freedom of speech
We’re not the government (which is what the free speech is all about). We can judge your opinions all we want.
That’s right it still I don’t appreciate the hostility. I didn’t vote for Trump or did I just not vote
Are you universal monk?
Seriously just stop giving this person a hard time. They voted for what is right, at least. Whether they identify outside of that party, who cares? It’s not going to change (and in any case worked in your favor toward) the election outcome, which is what you are actually upset about.
Yeah. That’s the takeaway. 🙄
And they want to attack overtime and Social Security. Great fucking job, Americans!
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.
None of it will matter because there won’t ever be another free and fair election again.
Dictators don’t typically take too kindly to filibusters.
Rules (filibuster) for thee but not for me is the guiding principle of the right wing.
That’s some 5d chess right there
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.
Assuming the ditch the filibuster and implement 2025, there will be no more elections.
assuming they dont get rid of the filibuster, and then put it back on their way out if they manage to lose power again
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.
There will definitely be another election. But it will be like the elections in Hungary and Russia. Meaningless window dressing.
There will still be elections – even Russia still holds elections. They just won’t be free or fair.
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.
