https://www.project2025.org/ "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." Sounds very anti-democratic https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025 " Project 2025 (officially the Presidential Transition Project) is a collection of policy proposals to reshape the executive branch of the U.S. federal government at an unprecedented scale in the event of a Republican victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.[2][3] Established in 2022, the project seeks to recruit tens of thousands of conservatives to Washington, D.C. in order to replace existing federal civil service workers whom Republicans characterize as part of the "deep state", to further the objectives of the next Republican president.[4] Although the project cannot promote a specific presidential candidate, many contributors have close ties to Donald Trump and the Trump 2024 presidential campaign.[5] The plan would perform a swift restructuring of the executive branch under a maximalist version of the unitary executive theory — a false legal theory proposing the president of the United States has absolute power over the executive branch — upon inauguration.[3][6] The development of the plan is led by the The Heritage Foundation, an American conservative think tank, in collaboration with over 100 partners including Turning Point USA, led by Charlie Kirk; the Conservative Partnership Institute including former Trump Chief of Staff Mark Meadows as senior partner; the Center for Renewing America, led by former Trump-appointee Office of Management and Budget Director Russell Vought; and America First Legal, led by former Trump Senior Advisor Stephen Miller.[7][8]" Rocket River Please provide you ideas and Clarification This has been a Scary Boogieman that is circulating these days
Pretty simple: It's the hard right installing a "Deep State". The hard right billionaires that are part of the Federalist Society, that buy off the Supreme Court, etc. want full power from the inside, and realize that the career bipartisan civil servants stand in their way in regards to the day to day functions of government. They will ALWAYS accuse the other side of what they are doing, or want to do. Project 2025 is a plan to create a hard right deep state. Plain and simple. This is a battle for Democracy from the bottom. Hit it from the top, and the bottom, and hope it'll crack in the middle. No way we remain a Democracy or at least the same type of Democracy if Trump wins in 2024.
It's basically an executive that is gutted for all civil servants, replaced with partisans. "Operation Swap Deck Chairs" (from one admin to the next) is what you should expect. A sinking ship is probably the right analogy.
Separation of church and state is very important. Christian Taliban should go back to the Middle East.
I think this is a staple of all revolutionary governments. Sweep out the competent but politically-misaligned bureaucrats of the old government and install political cadres loyal to the new government. I remember way way back when I was a college student learning about the Russian Revolution and was mystified how this worked that the Bolsheviks could find someone to assign to every damn little government office to make sure the whole government embraced communism. That's the funny thing about Trump is that he has helped me to understand much of what I used to find confusing about revolutions, coups, dictatorships and all the other bad things that happened in the 20th century. But this all very sensible for maga to do. When he won last time, Trump was completely unprepared and it showed. Now that the prospect of him winning looks more credible, it only makes sense to properly get ready.
That's a major concern not to mention the fact that every government position doesn't need to be partisan. I'm not in a revolutionary mood these days where we're getting screwed harder than we already were.
First 3 min is a good summary by a constitional scholar. @Space Ghost isn't going to be a-ok with this. @AroundTheWorld would love it though. A breakdown of Donald Trump's Project 2025 | Boise State Public Radio What is this project, and what would it do? Dr. David Adler, a constitutional scholar and president of the Alturas Institute, joined Idaho Matters to help answer these questions.
