Project 2025: Fact-checking Democrats’ misleading and overly dramatic claims​

President Joe Biden and his allies have dramatically ramped up their focus on Project 2025, the conservative policy proposals put together by the Heritage Foundation and a constellation of right-leaning groups.

But the attacks frequently involve mischaracterizations of what the proposals represent and how closely associated they are with former President Donald Trump. They have called it a “right-wing manifesto” and warned it contains plans for a “patriarchal theocracy” under a second Trump administration.


Project 2025 is more like a wish list from outside conservative groups than a blueprint from Trump himself. The Trump campaign has repeatedly distanced itself from the enterprise.

“I know nothing about Project 2025,” Trump wrote on social media last week. “I disagree with some of the things they’re saying and some of the things they’re saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal.”

Based in large part on a document titled Mandate for Leadership, which is what the Heritage Foundation has called editions of its sweeping policy recommendations since the 1980s, Project 2025 involves proposals that would shrink and reorient the federal government around conservative priorities. The term also refers to an effort by outside groups to identify personnel who could serve in key positions in a Republican administration, seeking to correct for the mistakes of the ill-prepared Trump transition team in 2016.

Project 2025 envisions widespread changes to the government, particularly economic and social policies and the role of the federal government and its agencies. The plan proposes taking partisan control of the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the Department of Commerce, the Federal Communications Commission(FCC) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), dismantling the Department of Homeland Security(DHS), and sharply reducing environmental and climate changeregulations to favor fossil fuelproduction.[13][16] The blueprint seeks to institute tax cuts,[17] though its writers disagree on the wisdom of protectionism.[18] Project 2025 recommends abolishing the Department of Education, whose programs would be either transferred to other agencies or terminated.[19][20]Funding for climate research would be cut and the National Institutes of Health (NIH) would be reformed according to conservative principles.[21][22] The project seeks to cut funding for Medicare and Medicaid[23][24] and urges the government to explicitly reject abortion as health care.[25][26] The project seeks to eliminate coverage of emergency contraception under the Affordable Care Act[23] and enforce the Comstock Act to prosecute those who send and receive contraceptivesand abortion pills nationwide.[26][27] It proposes criminalizing pornography,[28][29] removing legal protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity,[29][30] and terminating diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs[4][30] and affirmative action[31] by having the DOJ prosecute "anti-white racism."[32]The Project recommends the arrest, detention, and deportation of undocumented immigrants living in the U.S.[33][34][35] It proposes deploying the military for domestic law enforcement.[36] It promotes capital punishment and the speedy "finality" of those sentences.[37][38]
 
it is a wedge they hope to create

plenty of us like project 2025 more than we like Trump. the goal here is to start in-fighting.

Trump was an outsider before - had he not promised to replace SCOTUS judged with ones approved by think tanks such as heritage, we would not be having the court wins today we are having

Ah, a good number of the project authors and proponents came directly from the Trump Administration where they served as advisors and department heads, in fact both Groves and Dans, editors of the report, were high ranking officials in Trump’s cabinet and worked on Trump’s 2016 transition team. So saying Maralago knew nothing about it is a flat out lie

And if you actually read the report instead of copying and pasting provided bullet points you would know it is recommending authoritarian policies designed to specifically to strengthen the power of the Executive Branch. Interesting how MAGA posters just can’t stand to read primary sources but rather echo talking heads bullshit
