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.

      You need to stop thinking about these things in the context of the ethics and social mores that you grew up with. I donā€™t think people understand what fascism actually means, and just how total an autocratā€™s power is. Especially if the GOP also have full control of all three branches of the federal government.

      It seems like there are people who just do not grasp to what extent we are fucked, and they will not until they literally start lining Democratic politicians against the wall and executing them.

      Anything short of that, and they think itā€™s just fear mongering or something. Even then, there will be many that buy into whatever trumped up bullshit charges that get levied against them as justification for their murder. Assuming they even bother with that.

      Americans are too ignorant to understand what they just didā€¦ Specifically those who voted for Trump, and those who chose not to vote over a single issue.

      Republicans also won the house and senate.

      With the combined total of a right controlled presidency, congress, and supreme court what canā€™t they do?
