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.

      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.

      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.

          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.

      Yes, my MAGA family members bought Trump’s line of “I don’t know who is involved in that”.
