Are you alarmed yet by the lengthy policy document called Project 2025? It is a detailed plan for how to take over our Constitutional republic for all time. Donald Trump somehow “knows nothing about it” though his name appears in the document hundreds of times.
Google it.
If implemented, the plan will curtail or abolish our basic personal rights: Our freedom to vote, our access to public education, the uniquely American right to protest peacefully, and more.
The Heritage Foundation (Google it), author of Project 2025, put forth a similar playbook years ago. On its own website on January 23, 2018, The Heritage Foundation reported that “One year after taking office, President Donald Trump and his administration have embraced nearly two-thirds of the policy recommendations from The Heritage Foundation’s ‘Mandate for Leadership.’
“Analysis completed by Heritage determined that 64 percent of the policy prescriptions were included in Trump’s budget, implemented through regulatory guidance, or under consideration for action in accordance with The Heritage Foundation’s original proposals.”
Trump followed its guidance but could only go so far. He hadn’t figured out how to surround himself with loyalists who would do his bidding without question. In a second term, with no constraints to protect us, he will be unchecked.
The current Republican National Committee platform mirrors Project 2025. Many former advisers in Trump’s Administration are preparing for their roles in a second term.
Don’t be fooled by 45’s alleged break from the policy book that is Project 2025.
