Dissecting Project 2025
Have you heard about Project 2025 yet? If not, it’s time to pay attention to what the Republican party wants to do if Trump regains the White House.
It’s widely known that Trump didn’t expect to win in 2016 so there was little prep work done. He didn’t have key positions staffed, the transition was a mess and his term was more ineffective than it could have been with an actual plan.
Well, now they have a plan and it’s terrifying. Broadly speaking Project 2025 is a set of policy proposals for the President to enact on January 20th, 2025 to set an agenda for the government. It was authored by the Heritage Foundation and several of Trump’s first term sycophants.
Here’s just a short list of some of what they want to accomplish:
- Make abortion totally illegal across the entire United States
- Implement Christian Nationalism as law
- Cut social security and raise the retirement age
- Control the Federal Government and agencies
- Lower the corporate tax rate
- Give the President direct control over the Department of Justice, including directing them to prosecute plitical adversaties
- Rescind regulations that prohibit discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity in the Department of Health and Human Services
- Outlaw pornography
- Eliminate the FBI and EPI
- Abolish public education
- Eliminate the Federal Reserve and let banks operate without regulations
One way they intend to take control with little to no recourse for overturning their new rule of fascism is by firing federal employees who are not sufficiently loyal to Trump and replacing them with their own people. You’ll hear this discussed as part of the list they’re generating of people who, by their own word, say they’re qualified to work in the federal government.
Understand that the majority of federal employees do their work in a non-partisan manner, e.g. they are not working for the IRS as a Republican or the EPA as a Democrat, they are doing their jobs and someone much higher up is setting the policies and passing laws. Trump wants to fire these people which will decimate the civil service. Sources on this:

They are not just playing a policy game – a part of Project 2025 is deputizing the national guard and deploying the military for domestic law enforcement to pursue and punish anyone who opposes this fascism.
This is dangerous and the Heritage Foundation and Republicans are not hiding this away, they are bringing it out in the open.
