PROJECT 2025: WHAT IS IT AND WHAT CAN I DO? AN POST WITH LINKS AND INFORMATION.

SO WHAT EXACTLY IS PROJECT 2025? I KEEP HEARING SO MUCH ABOUT IT.

At this point - you've heard of it. And you're probably trying to understand what exactly it is. How does it affect you? Your American friends and family? What does it all mean?

PROJECT 2025 is a Conservative Playbook to essentially take over the American government and reshape life as Americans know it. Conservatives refer to it as a "comprehensive transition plan" to take place during the first 180 days of presidency. It is a 900-page document [of which I read] and can generally explained as complete and utter religious bullshit and agenda.

It is best summarized by the subreddit community r/Defeat_Project_2025 : "Project 2025 is a plan by The Heritage Foundation to reshape the US into an authoritarian theocracy, bring about religious tyranny. It threatens the freedom and liberty we fought for and vowed to defend. They plan to ban abortion, cut LGBTQ protections, reverse climate policy, environmental regulation and more, endangering our future. HF inserted policies and staff going back to Reagan. Trump accepted 64% of their "Mandate for Leadership" plan - proof, which Project 2025 builds off. 70 Heritage Foundation Alumni served in his administration or transition team."

HEY, THAT ACTUALLY SOUNDS REALLY SCARY. WHAT EXACTLY ARE THE GOALS OF THIS PROJECT?

Once again, we turn to our friends in r/Defeat_Project_2025 for a rather terrifying list:

Use religion to shape policy

Fire 50k federal workers, hire loyalists

Direct the DOJ to investigate enemies

Hamstring the FBI, reduce autonomy

Dismantle the DHS

Use National Guard for law enforcement

Military recruiters in secondary schools

Make children take a military aptitude test

Military forces assigned to the border

Defense funds for undocumented camps

Harder to get asylum

Gut the EPA

Rollback climate change protections

Eliminate Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion measures

Replace equality measures with "anti-white racism" policies

Outlaw porn, equate it with LGBTQ

Register teachers, librarians providing "porn" as sex offenders

Close telecom, tech firms that spread "porn"

Affirming a Trans child's gender becomes abuse

Throw Trans folk out of the military

Exclude "gender ideology" from public schools

Lock in rigid gender roles at birth

Decry single moms & gay marriage

Try to ban abortion & contraception

Bust all public sector unions

President will control the FCC & FTC
