People need to stop saying that #Project2025 was written in #Trump's image. That is not true.
Believe it or not, Trump is a pawn for the conservative far right who wrote the mandate. Trump couldn't care less about Project2025. All he cares about is money and power.
Project2025 will exist with or without Trump. It was written for the NEXT conservative President. That is one of the first sentences in the mandate. Trump's name is mentioned less than a dozen times in all 962 pages. 1/6
Trump raised a record-breaking $34.8 million the day after being convicted of election interference. That's nearly double their previous largest single-day online donation amount.
29.7% were new donors.
This is not a drill. He will get reelected unless people on the left step up to oppose him. And #Project2025 makes it clear how much worse things can get, both domestically and abroad. #VoteBlue
Since MSM is asleep at the wheel 😡, it is incumbent upon we who are more plugged into to what’s happening to assist the #Biden campaign and make friends and family aware of what will ensue if TFG gets elected and implements #Project2025.
A good starting point is sharing this Media Matters Project 2025 guide, which offers a good overview:
"Despite the Biden campaign ramping up its focus on Heritage’s “Project 2025” this year, fewer than one in four Americans say they’ve heard about it, according to new polling shared with Semafor this morning."
-S Talcott
MSM & SM aren't informing viewers & readers about the existential dangers of GOP presidency, esp. #Project2025 *Erosion of democratic norms, use of govt institutions to target pol opponents..., whether it's #TFG or someone else:
Privatization gravy train: INSUR giants use some of that MDCR Advantage$ (ripped off our tax$ last year by an est. $140B over & above what it would’ve caused us if ppl had simply been on real MDCR) to buy legislators & some of it for expensive ads to dupe seniors into joining their programs.
#Project2025 is a nationwide power grab: Forcing birth in all cases, derailing racial progress, dictating school curriculum, unchecked authority, injecting "Christianity" into the military, shredding climate policies & more.
An authoritarian, regressive agenda stripping away rights and freedoms.
"Shout this from the rooftops: #TFG's "deportation plan" is really a plan for a US dictatorship. Blue cities will be in essence be invaded by red-state NG soldiers, who'll aid dead-of-night raids & violently suppress protests.
“I take all of it seriously,” Nunn, a counsel who monitors nat. sec. & liberty issues -expert in the pres. uses & abuses of the Insurrection Act *allows for the deployment of soldiers on US."
Do you have a friend or family member who works for the fed government in any capacity? Do you know someone who owns a business or works for a business that has government contracts that are its main source of revenue?
If Trump makes it back to the White House, GOP #Project2025 intends, within 1st 120 days, to purge most government agencies. The agencies that remain open will be staffed ONLY w/conservative loyalists. Detractors will be fired.
"There is no doubt 'Project 2025' would transform America into a much nastier, much more dangerous, much more hostile place for anyone who dares to deviate from what the Right deems the ;natural order. In a very real sense, that’s what’s on the ballot in November."
“This attitude that our Bible and our interpretation of the Bible is the truth, it is the correct one, it is the only one we should be listening to, and our laws should be drawn from that, and we're going to force you, whatever you believe, to live by those laws is the very essence of fascism.”
The fascists believed that you have to destroy to create,
and this is what a second Trump administration would do.
Project 2025 is a plan for an authoritarian takeover of the United States that goes by a deceptively neutral name.
It preserves Trumpism’s original radical intent in its goals to “[d]ismantle the administrative state” and “decentralize and privatize as much as possible,” allowing the American people to “live freely.”
“[T]he Trump administration, with the best of intentions, simply got a slow start,” Heritage Foundation head #Kevin#Roberts told The New York Times in January. “And Heritage and our allies in Project 2025 believe that must never be repeated.”
The solution to this “slow start”
—code for the restraints imposed by operating in a democracy
—is counterrevolution.
The plan promises the abolition of the Department of Education and other federal agencies.
The intent here is to destroy the legal and governance cultures of liberal democracy and create new bureaucratic structures,
staffed by new politically vetted cadres,
to support autocratic rule.
So new agencies could appear to manage parents’ and family rights, Christian affairs, and other pillars of the new order.
🔥The Department of Health and Human Services is poised to have a central role in governance, 👉😱given the priorities Trumpism places on policing sexuality, weaponizing motherhood, persecuting transgender people and LGBTQ communities, and criminalizing abortion.

Too many people have no idea what's in store if #Biden doesn't win. Share with your friends, family, and other networks about Project 2025, using this handy-dandy guide from Media Matters:
The Federal Election Commission must investigate whether Donald Trump’s campaign illegally attempted to hide settlement payments by routing the payments through third parties, according to a complaint filed today by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. The allegations of wrongdoing stem from former Trump campaign employee AJ Delgado’s sworn declaration in her pending lawsuit against Trump and his campaign over her claims of pregnancy discrimination...
NO PORN FOR OLD MEN. Hidden in plain sight on page 5 of the #Project2025 plan is a thinly veiled reference to banning porn and imprisoning those who create and/or distribute it — if #Trump is elected. Considering porn consumption crosses partisan lines with both sides indulging, it's a curious concession to the worst offenders of all — #evangelicals. And so-called #Libertarians? This should be a non-starter for a Trump vote.
From the Republican perspective, this election is not actually about policy or governance. It's about the GOP's project to change the American form of government from democracy to autocracy.
Donald Trump took away women’s freedom.
Now he wants to allow women to be monitored & prosecuted if they get an abortion. Every woman in every state is at risk. #RoeYourVote#Project2025
