On the campaign trail last year, Donald Trump swore he knew „nothing“ about Project 2025. As a candidate, he said he didn’t even know who had written the far-right blueprint for his second term, called some of its ideas „absolutely ridiculous“ and „abysmal“ and argued it was „pure disinformation“ for Democrats to try to link him to that plan.
When he won a second term, Trump dropped the pretense and began enacting Project 2025’s proposals, in some cases to the letter. In the eight months since inauguration, he has checked off most of its major proposals:
At the same time, he appointed Project 2025 co-author Russell Vought as director of the Office of Management and Budget. He nominated contributor E.J. Antoni as Commissioner of Labor Statistics, despite the latter’s lack of the usual credentials. (The Senate has not voted on Antoni’s confirmation yet.) And he appointed Brendan Carr, who literally wrote the chapter on the Federal Communications Commission, as chairman of the [FCC.In](http://FCC.In) the past, a president who made a major reversal of a campaign promise might be expected to show some contrition, or else try to explain their reversal due to changing circumstances, as Woodrow Wilson did when he broke his pledge to keep the U.S. out of World War I or George H.W. Bush did when he signed a budget that raised taxes.
Trump has given no explanation. But the FCC’s Carr just made quite clear that he thinks this is all a big joke.

People need to stand up and do something before this goes any further. The damage is almost irreparable at this point.

Non-MAGA folks knew it would happen and shouted it from the rooftops, and MAGAs knew it would too, but pretended it wouldn’t. There isn’t anyone in the country who genuinely thought Project 2025 wasn’t going to happen.

Project 2025 is a national suicide project that aims to isolate the United States diplomatically and destroy its economy.

So exactly what we all said this time last year and they all said they never heard of? Got it.
I really hope all those people feel good about their protest votes because literally everyone knew this was exactly the plan.

We need a project 2030 with all the radical extremist left wing stuff like
– feeding the hungry
– prioritizing the environment
– stopping our murder of civilians in other countries
– properly funding education
– prison reform
– removing corrupt politcians
– fixing the housing market
– universal healthcare of everyone
– helping immigrants
– housing the homeless

I don’t get it. Why did they hide this from voters? They claim to love the US and be patriots and theyre going to win based on your amazing policies to ‚Make America Great Again‘, then why hide your agenda?

Remember when Trump “disavowed” P2025, and the fact checkers bought it for some stupid reason and were scolding Democrats for trying to hang it around his neck like an albatross…
…and meanwhile one of the P2025 authors was like “LOL, obviously he’s lying because it’s so unpopular, but it is totally the plan”?
Yeah.

The Trump administration is not full of sophisticated people so yah no shit.
Trump is the instrument he is not the architect.

It’s impressive, I do have to give them that. They got an amazing number of Americans to betray their own country.

Even though I’m a democrat, I still downloaded the Project 2025 PDF when it was available so I could skim through it and see what sort of hijinx they’re planning. A lot of things have happened since Trump took office and some right wing base were taken by surprise but if they had bothered to even do some research it was clearly in their plans since the get go.

In Trump’s current administration, several top officials are directly tied to the Heritage Foundation and Project 2025.
Russ Vought, now Director of the Office of Management and Budget, helped write parts of Project 2025’s Mandate for Leadership.
E.J. Antoni, nominated to lead the Bureau of Labor Statistics, is a Heritage economist and contributor to Project 2025.
Tom Homan, serving as Trump’s border czar, is a Heritage fellow and helped shape the immigration chapter of Project 2025.
Brendan Carr, nominated to head the FCC, wrote the Project 2025 section on communications.
Stephen Miller, now Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security adviser, is tied to Project 2025 through his group America First Legal.
Karoline Leavitt, Trump’s press secretary, even appears as an instructor in Project 2025’s Presidential Administration Academy.
On a larger scale, reporting shows that about 70 percent of Trump’s cabinet has links to Project 2025 and Heritage.
The ACLU has identified at least 140 people from Trump’s administrations who are connected to Project 2025, and Newsweek notes that 31 of its contributors previously served in his first term.

The real question is, how many MAGA supporters will see articles like this? There is approximately a 0% chance that Fox News will report on this.

So funny I watched a jubilee debate last night with destiny against 25 Trump supporters. The last topic was that MAGA relies on misinformation.
One of the last speakers essentially said that project 2025 was a democratic misinformation campaign. I wonder how that guys coping.
