PROJECT 2025: WHAT IS IT AND WHAT CAN I DO? AN POST WITH LINKS AND INFORMATION.
SO WHAT EXACTLY IS PROJECT 2025? I KEEP HEARING SO MUCH ABOUT IT.
At this point - you've heard of it. And you're probably trying to understand what exactly it is. How does it affect you? Your American friends and family? What does it all mean?
PROJECT 2025 is a Conservative Playbook to essentially take over the American government and reshape life as Americans know it. Conservatives refer to it as a "comprehensive transition plan" to take place during the first 180 days of presidency. It is a 900-page document [of which I read] and can generally explained as complete and utter religious bullshit and agenda.
It is best summarized by the subreddit community r/Defeat_Project_2025 : "Project 2025 is a plan by The Heritage Foundation to reshape the US into an authoritarian theocracy, bring about religious tyranny. It threatens the freedom and liberty we fought for and vowed to defend. They plan to ban abortion, cut LGBTQ protections, reverse climate policy, environmental regulation and more, endangering our future. HF inserted policies and staff going back to Reagan. Trump accepted 64% of their "Mandate for Leadership" plan - proof, which Project 2025 builds off. 70 Heritage Foundation Alumni served in his administration or transition team."
HEY, THAT ACTUALLY SOUNDS REALLY SCARY. WHAT EXACTLY ARE THE GOALS OF THIS PROJECT?
