The listed excerpts are actually quite tame compared to what the actual plan is.

slashing U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) funding, dismantling the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security

invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 to deploy the military for domestic law enforcement and directing the DOJ to pursue Trump adversaries

create a federally funded "American Academy" that would deliver online courses and grant free degrees that excluded "wokeness or jihadism". The plan would also be funded by taxing the endowments of major universities

every state report exactly how many abortions take place within its borders, at what gestational age of the child, for what reason, the mother's state of residence, and by what method

I stopped looking, not because there was any shortage of further crazy shit. There’s plenty more.

Yeah, and there's a fair amount of money behind this push.....which like....I'm not American, don't live in the States, but my sister and her wife do...and I've gotta figure out how to get them the fuck out if things go Trump again....

Edit: also, living in the UK I run into loads of people who go "Well, if Trump gets in again, that's not really our problem..." but like....the USA makes they're problems everyone's problem. And another Trump presidential term would be a huge problem for the rest of the world....

also, living in the UK

Yeah, I've been following UK politics by way of TrashFuture podcast and I gotta say... your immigration plan is to deport people to Rwanda and your government just endorsed a Trans-Panic Committee to decide whether teenagers can consent to gender-affirming care.

And these are the moderate Labour Party positions. Liz Truss wants to do worse.

God damn, dude. Finding the worst people to run the country is not a competition. You can just let the Yanks have this one.

Over in !conservative@lemm.ee I got banned for posting about Project 2025. They claim it breaks rule 2 which is to only post pro-conservative or anti-liberal posts. Fucking echo chamber over there.

Same as r/conservatives was.

Projection is the game. You see these wackos all over YouTube bemoaning “my comments keep getting deleted” (which doesn’t seem true), yet go on their turf and they’ll happily silence you as that’s different.

Reminds me of “the only moral abortion is mine”. The only people being silenced is us, what we’re doing might look the same but trust me bro it’s not.

Pornography should be outlawed

I mean, it's quite a departure for a party that whinges about the First Amendment to straight up move to the government controlling what can be published, i.e. actual literal censorship. But hey, conservatives aren't very logical.

[-] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 24 points 7 months ago

Always remember that if the conservatives who claim to love the US, had been born in 1750, they would have been Loyalist Redcoats.

Ohhhh taking away my gender and rights as a transgender American protects my rights, I see I see.

[-] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 21 points 7 months ago

No it protects their rights. Gotta remember we aren’t real Americans

If the term Abortion isn’t allowed to exist in any possible law then does that make it legal?

[-] HawlSera@lemm.ee 44 points 7 months ago

They want to protect free speech, by creating an enforced list of banned words?

"Delete and prevent the use of these terms to protect ~~freedom of speech~~ my fragile and extremely traumatised psyche"

Fixed that for them

There is no good conservative alive today. Conservatism is a plague long overdue for a cure.

Terminate those not in the national interest?

I bet any investigations of republicans are immediately terminated, meanwhile any “leftist” under investigation is pushed through a kangaroo court.

Is this project 2025? Like policies for the voter minorities that mentally liven in the 1950s.

[-] Lemminary@lemmy.world 35 points 7 months ago

I have a feeling that the 50s were far more progressive than the plan outlines.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 17 points 7 months ago

Yeah, this is more of an "Iran 1979" kind of plan.

[-] frezik@midwest.social 17 points 7 months ago

Consider that in 1965, someone wrote a book about how great it would be if cars had seat belts, and then everyone agreed and cars got seat belts. That's what happens in a government that at least tries to care (about white people, anyway). Conservatives have spent the last half century making sure that nightmare never happens again.

I'm interested, but can someone provide more context? What is this document, who wrote it, who is actually pushing it, etc.

Like if you went to the RNC and a presenter said "here's the plan" and everyone in the room erupted in applause that's one thing, but if one crazy person wrote this up wearing a tin foil Nazi maga hat and said "LISTEN THIS IS THE PLAN" to himself and posted it on Twitter then that's a whole different deal.

It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on day one of the next conservative administration. 

This is the goal of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. The project will build on four pillars that will, collectively, pave the way for an effective conservative administration: a policy agenda, personnel, training, and a 180-day playbook.

The project is the effort of a broad coalition of conservative organizations that have come together to ensure a successful administration begins in January 2025. With the right conservative policy recommendations and properly vetted and trained personnel to implement them, we will take back our government.

The 2025 Presidential Transition Project is being organized by The Heritage Foundation and builds off Heritage’s longstanding “Mandate for Leadership,” which has been highly influential for presidential administrations since the Reagan era. Most recently, the Trump administration relied heavily on Heritage’s “Mandate” for policy guidance, embracing nearly two-thirds of Heritage’s proposals within just one year in office.

Paul Dans, former chief of staff at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) during the Trump administration, serves as the director of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. Spencer Chretien, former special assistant to the president and associate director of Presidential Personnel, serves as associate director of the project.

It's every right wing "think tank" at work and combining forces into fascist-voltron. The Discovery Institute, the Eagle Forum, the Heartland Institute, the Heritage Foundation, Moms For Liberty, Pro-Life America, Turning Point USA and many others. It's basically the playbook for the next conservative government.

The Heritage Foundation is once again facilitating this work, but as our dozens of partners and hundreds of authors will attest, this book is the work of the entire conservative movement.  

In his last term Trump enacted or tried to enact two thirds of the policy recommendations of the last Heritage Foundation Playbook.

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.

It's quite literally The Plan of Republican Victory 2025.

It looks like some personal revenge, I don’t know why anyone would hate someone so much out of nothing.

It’s not even populism I think that would be at least lots of empty words
