Summary

Following Donald Trumpā€™s election victory, Republicans are now openly embracing Project 2025, a policy agenda from The Heritage Foundation that outlines sweeping conservative reforms.

Despite Trumpā€™s attempts to distance himself from the project during his campaign due to its extreme proposalsā€”including expanded executive powers, a national abortion ban, stricter contraception limits, harsh immigration policies, and the elimination of agencies like the Department of Educationā€”his allies quickly began celebrating its implementation.

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and commentator Matt Walsh publicly affirmed the agenda, signaling the GOPā€™s commitment to enacting these controversial policies in Trumpā€™s second term.

      "Yes, because the reduced happiness of others elevates mine in comparison. This is because I believe in a rigid social hierarchy where happiness is zero-sum, and itā€™s the only way Iā€™m able to climb the ladder. Once the short-lived boost in happiness inevitably wears off due to the world not actually working in that way, I will further look to enable suffering to forever chase the high in the only way I know. I will never truly feel deep satisfaction and inner peace, and I will slowly decline into old age feeling ever more isolated and bitter.
