Trump’s Project 2025
“He’s [Trump] trying to get rid of the American system of government and that means getting rid of all government that does anything other than serve him and that’s what Project 2025 is all about.”
Rachel Maddow
Trump’s Project 2025 - Assault on Democracy
Overview:
Trump’s Project 2025 is a comprehensive transition plan coordinated by the right-wing think tank, the Heritage Foundation, to guide the next GOP presidential administration. It is an extensive, detailed plan to destroy government structure; end reproductive freedom, LGBTQ, and civil rights; kill all government efforts to combat climate change; and create an inhumane immigration system. It is a road map to dismantle federal government safeguards and create an environment where Trump, and his loyalists, can maneuver unchecked and unchallenged.
More than 140 former staff members and advisors from Trump’s last administration contributed to the plan along with 110 different right-wing organizations.
If not stopped by voters in November, the GOP will place Christian Nationalism as the major priority for all government actions and:
Enact a national abortion ban with no exceptions and reverse the FDA’s approval of abortion medications.
Attack reproductive rights by making access to contraceptives illegal and restrict IVF.
End no-fault divorce.
Cut Social Security by raising the retirement age to 70.
Cut and privatize Medicare and Medicaid.
Conduct mass deportations, dismantle the DREAM and DACA programs, and increase Customs Enforcement.
Kill public education and privatize schools.
End protections for “queer” people and push gender conformity.
Dismantle current climate change remediation policies and increase fossil fuel production.
Replace skilled civil servants with unqualified far-right Trump loyalists.
Direct the Justice Department to go after Trump’s perceived political enemies, including President Biden.
Trump’s Project 2025 is an attack on our democracy. We all - left, right, middle - must not let them take our freedoms, rights, and democracy from us. It can be stopped.
