Summary

Following Donald Trump’s election victory, Republicans are now openly embracing Project 2025, a policy agenda from The Heritage Foundation that outlines sweeping conservative reforms.

Despite Trump’s attempts to distance himself from the project during his campaign due to its extreme proposals—including expanded executive powers, a national abortion ban, stricter contraception limits, harsh immigration policies, and the elimination of agencies like the Department of Education—his allies quickly began celebrating its implementation.

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and commentator Matt Walsh publicly affirmed the agenda, signaling the GOP's commitment to enacting these controversial policies in Trump’s second term.

I’m not sure I understand why they’re getting rid of the department of education? Why not change it? Why get rid of it entirely.

If someone could ELI5 that shit, I’d be grateful.

It all makes sense when you realize they have no intention to actually run the country in good faith. They intend to do two things, plunder everything they can, and irreparably destroy the country's future to get revenge for having the audacity to try to move forward.

Fucking goddammit. I guess people decided to wait until AFTER the election to inform themselves of the implications of one of the parties winning.

We all knew this as did everyone who voted him in. When you look at your neighbours never forget who they are.

I really hope the Jill Stein voters and non voters will suffer tremendously under this. Same for MAGA but they dont mind suffering for Trump.
