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.

    There are some who have voted out of ignorance, and not malice. You’re right, but not in every case.

        Yeah. I consider both types to be bad people, but it’s important to know the difference sometimes. I refuse to be reduced to inaccurate arguments just because we lost.

      Willful ignorance. It takes a certain type to somehow ignore every red flag that is presented before them.
