All The Ways Trump Is Connected To Project 2025

you've probably heard about project 2025 the massive right-wing plan to turn the us into a Christian authoritarian hellscape project 2025 project 2025 project 2025 right you might have heard that it introduces policies that attack lgbtq plus and Reproductive Rights you may have heard that it's a giant plan to dismantle the federal government and remake it to maximize Trump's power you may have even heard the creator of project 2025 say things like we are in the process of the second American Revolution which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be slay May the odds be ever in our favor but how seriously should you take any of this what is Project 2025 actually say and How likely is it to become reality if Trump wins I went down the rabbit hole so that you don't have to let's make sense of this cess B together in the dark with te we'll aot in Project 2025 is a blueprint for how conservatives would govern if Trump retakes office in 2025 it's nearly 00 page policy book lays out an overhaul of the federal government my first complaint is that it's too long it was produced by conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation along with a hundred other conservative groups many of whom are funded by just two right-wing billionaires since 1980 Heritage has been publishing policy recommendations for Republican presidents Reagan implemented or tried to implement nearly 2third of heritage's policy recommendations during his presidency during Trump's presidency he included nearly 65% of heritage's recommendations in his first year budget project 2025 is the newest of these policy recommendation books it wasn't written by Trump obviously Trump can't even count to 900 he doesn't have the attention span but over 200 former officials of the Trump Administration contributed to it so let's break down some of the major goals of project 2025 project 202's first conservative promise is to restore the family as the centerpiece of American life and protect our children conservatives will restore the family as the centerpiece of American life and protect our children they've got two big plans to accomplish this the first is to crack down on abortion access using a law called The Comstock act a 150y old law that bans the mailing of items deemed obscene for the past 50 years it's been viewed as this vague unenforceable Relic but project 2025 recommends using the Comstock act to Outlaw mailing medication and equipment for abortions which would create a de facto abortion ban without having to go through Congress what they may not know is that long-standing federal law prohibits shipping abortion drugs by mail so here's hoping they don't find that out the hard way the second project 2025 plan to save the American family is to basically Outlaw the existence of trans people the forward describes the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology and sexualization of children as pornography that should be outlawed and says that the people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned they want to register teachers who talk about transness as sex offenders and shut down internet providers that facilitate the spread of protrans content they recommend using the Department of Justice to go after dist District Attorneys who don't crack down on queer people aggressively enough project 2025 also argues that allowing parents or Physicians to reassign the sex of a minor is child abuse and must end suggesting that the CDC and the NIH should stop research relating to gender identity unless it's to prove that gender affirming care is bad so just How likely are these things to happen if Trump wins the election pretty likely the author of a bunch of the anti-trans content is Roger srino who served under Trump as the director for the office of civil rights at the HHS yes back then he removed non-discrimination protections for lgbtq people in the Affordable Care Act and we've heard Trump make the same claims about abortion and gender affirming Care on the campaign Trail the left-wing gender Insanity being pushed in our children is an act of child abuse very simple Trump has been acting less anti-abortion recently because it doesn't poll well but just in March he signaled support for a National 15we Abortion ban even hardliners are agreeing seems to be 15 weeks but I'll make that announcement at the appropriate time on the bright side one day all of the heat in the universe will die another one of project 202's priorities is immigration or rather ending IT project 2025 suggests severely rolling back both legal and unauthorized immigration by making hundreds of thousands of people vulnerable to deportation to do this they have a big mishmash of strategies restricting certain types of visas like temporary visas for the victims of human trafficking called T visas pulling resources away from immigration program so it becomes harder and harder for immigrants to renew visas and massively increasing Isis Authority so they can put even more resources into deportation they even recommend punishing citizens who live with unauthorized immigrants by not allowing them to qualify for housing subsidies so How likely is all of this to happen if Trump is elected these policy suggestions are largely found in Project 2025 chapter on the Department of Homeland Security written by half Dil half Muppet Ken Cinelli during Trump's first term Cinelli served as our deao lawful deputy secretary of homeand security these policy suggestions are largely in line with both Trump and the gop's immigration platforms we are going to have the largest deportation effort in the history of our country we're bringing everybody back to where they came from just listen to Tom Homan Trump's former director of ice and project 2025 contributor talking at Heritage policy Fest You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet wait till 2025 no one's off the table if you're in the country legally you better be looking over shoulder well that's threatening at least he didn't give a keynote speech at the RNC former acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement Tom homman to the millions of illegal aliens that Joe Biden's released in our country in violation of federal law you better start packing now one day every adom that I've ever touched will burn at the center of the Sun a lot of attention has been paid to project 202's Christian National Nationalist and anti-immigrant policies but the scariest part of this plan is how it reshapes the federal government turning it into Trump's personal play thing just look at the section on the Department of Justice project 2025 claims that the doj is a bloated bureaucracy staffed by a critical core of personnel who are infatuated with the perpetuation of a radical liberal agenda because lefties famously love cops one way it plans to fix this problem is by turning the doj into Trump's personal enforcement arm project 2025 calls for the doj to take legal action against prosecutors who refuse to prosecute criminal offenses that they disagree with so like hypothetically if a blue City prosecutor in a red State decides not to go after people seeking and providing abortions project 2025 seemingly wants to use the doj to go after those prosecutors and bring federal charges against the people that they refuse to go after they also want to eliminate the FBI director's 10-year term limit so that they can keep a trump loyalist Haw in charge for long as possible so How likely is this to happen under Trump pretty likely I will direct the doj to open civil rights investigations into radical left prosecutors offices the Department of Justice chapter was written by Jean Hamilton seen here lurking who served in Trump's doj and DHS so it's a fair bet that he'd be given another high-ranking position in a trump Administration in fact there's a good chance that all of these project 2025 authors end up working in the next Trump White House and that's because of project 202's plan to replace government workers with hardcore Trump loyalists okay yes you lie in the project 202 document project 2025 calls for Trump to reinstate the executive order schedule F which would give the administration the ability to fire disloyal government workers in mass and replace them with political allies our goal is to assemble an army of aligned vetted trained and prepared conservatives to go to work on day day one to deconstruct the administrative State basically they want to create an entire government staffed by prioritizing loyalty to Trump over experience and expertise while a candidate with Elite credentials might seem ideal the best one will be above all loyal to the president and the Constitution instead of the normal 4,000 presidential political appointments Heritage now suggests aiming for 50,000 or more and to make sure that they have enough candidates Heritage has developed a Personnel database of trump loyalists we have a database that anyone you know can sign up to actually get into this government they even have a training academy and are using loyalty tests to find and recruit this Army this is your chance to truly make a difference we're glad you're joining us if they can do this nearly every recommendation in Project 2025 will become more likely because there will be no experienced or reasonable government employees to stand in their way so How likely is all of this very likely this recommendation was written by project 2025 director ctor Paul Dan Dan served in the Trump Administration as the chief of staff at the US office of personnel management where he staffed approximately 4,000 Trump appointees more importantly though Trump already started this in his first term he tried to enact schedule F by executive order and he's already announced that he plans to reissue schedule F on day one first I will immediately reissue my 2020 executive order restoring the president's authority to remove Rogue bureaucrats and I will wield that power very aggressively all of that's to say this is real Trump's been trying to distance himself from Project 2025 because it doesn't pull well but over 140 of project 202's core writers and editors reportedly held positions in Trump's Administration and transition have you been in touch or will you be in touch with Donald Trump in the campaign our respective staffs have have been in conversation throughout the campaign on the matters of policy and the people at Heritage seem pretty confident that a lot of their suggestions will be received is it all right for us to assume that president Trump is committed to the project 2025 ultimately yes I think you know president Trump's very bond in with this Trump also trusts Heritage to direct his policy choices like I said earlier he adopted roughly 2third of their recommendations during his first term this is a great group and they're going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do the good news is one day you'll die kidding the good news is that the election hasn't happened yet and this doesn't pull well so spread the word right so um time for a walk
