    Project 2025 wants to:

    • Outlaw pornography
    • Outlaw abortion
    • Outlaw homosexuality
    • Eliminate all major checks on presidential power. Say goodbye to the system of checks and balances
    • Replace many federal workers with those who are loyal only to the president

    www.defeatproject2025.org breaks it down by topic, also highly suggest John Oliver's segment on it

      Replace many federal workers with those who are loyal only to the president

      This is the key point that actually makes all this possible. From the wiki

      It proposes reclassifying tens of thousands of merit-based federal civil service workers as political appointees in order to replace them with loyal conservatives to further the objectives of the next Republican president.

      "Tens of thousands". There is absolutely not enough young republicans in the nation to replace that many federal workers. The outcome if they fired them anyways would be orders of magnitude worse than the De-Ba'athification of Iraq. Its declaring class war on Northern Virginia and its a fight the GOP would lose.

          I'm from there too. I could feel myself slowly becoming that type of libertarian shit head growing up until I moved away. Libertarianism is the only way you can rationalize all the bullshit you see around you and still remain in that environment.

          It takes a severe level of willful ignorance to work for the MIC. They're so close to the contradictions at play that whenever you try to interrogate them on those contradictions they just short circuit in a way. Often they'll repeat some sort of aphorism.

        Its a good thing Biden is president, we should vote for him again so he can continue to not stop these things from happening

    The US ruling class has been trying to do all of these things for decades. I’ve been treated like I’m insane for calling this out since well before Project 2025 was formulated. It’s honestly frustrating to see the amount of people finally coming around now that all their ducks are in a row and a second Trump term is looking more and more certain every day. Biden’s been literally doing Republican policies for his entire presidency and we haven’t heard a fucking peep from the liberal “activists” in my area about it.

      Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

      In this case, the law being freedom of speech, the protection being to say what they want and the binding being to prohibit others from curtailing that. Naturally, the push for inclusive language is part of a movement to curtail that freedom and needs to be reversed and pushed back against.

    Literally just yesterday I posted about it in my family’s political group chat and my older sister said, and I quote:

    “even though I lean left, I'm actually glad that conservatives have a playbook! Why? because Trump's first term presidential transition (2017) was totally bungled... he needs a list of people that he can appoint from, so that these agencies don't just fall apart… Don't kid yourself, Biden's team and Obama's team and the democrats overall definitely have their own playbook and their list of potential appointees. They just don't have to crowdsource theirs!”

    Why would it be bad to terminate investigations that are unlawful or contrary to national interests?
