Project 2025 is a detailed plan published by the Heritage Foundation, a right-wing policy institute, with input from many prominent Republicans

 

Their stated purpose is to “Liberate the American people & allow them to have self-government from the tyranny of the administrative state.”

 

 

Project 2025 will:

 

• Restructure the federal government to drastically increase presidential power, dismantle the separation of powers, & reduce accountability.

 

• Impose Schedule F status for tens of thousands of federal employees to allow the President to replace career civil servants with unqualified partisan loyalists, destroying the merit-based system of selecting government employees under the 1883 Pendleton Act [page 80].

 

Trump already attempted to impose Schedule F in his 1st term & vowed to do it again. The Heritage Foundation is currently compiling a database of loyalists to serve in Trump's potential 2nd term.

 

After filling out a job application, Project 2025 & RNC applicants are interviewed by Trump advisers. They are asked about their loyalty to Trump & whether they believe the 2020 election was "stolen."

 

• Put all government agencies under presidential control. The President will be able use the government (DOJ, FBI, etc.) to shield himself & allies and go after enemies (like Putin does) [page 43, 825, also in Trump's Agenda47].

 

• Deploy the military for domestic law enforcement to suppress protests or dissent under the Insurrection Act of 1807.

 

Trump already threatened to do this during his last term.

 

• Bring back "impoundment" where the executive branch can refuse to spend money provided by Congress, which was declared illegal in 1974.

 

• Prohibit the FBI from combating the spread of disinformation [page 550].

 

Russia, China, & Iran are actively trying to interfere with American elections, according to US intelligence agencies.

 

• Prevent the CDC from advising that school children should be masked or vaccinated, which could lead to outbreaks & resurgence of preventable diseases [page 454 ].

 

• Significantly weaken or disband the EPA [page 421], FBI [page 317, 571, 581, 583], FCC [page 857], & FTC [page 904]

 

• Abolish the DHS [page 121], Consumer Financial Protection Bureau [page 874], NOAA [page 674], & Department of Commerce [page 663]. Privatize the TSA [page 166].

 

• Outlaw abortion, the abortion pill , & IVF [page 38, 450, 458].

 

Even though Project 2025 is now pretending to moderate their position on abortion, their job application shows their true position.

 

"We don’t need a federal ban when we have the Comstock Act on the books. I just don't want him (Trump) to shoot off his mouth... until the election."—Jonathan Mitchell (Trump's lawyer)

 

• End gay marriage [page 545, 581].

 

• Outlaw pornography [page 5].

 

"Pornography should be outlawed. The people who produce & distribute it should be imprisoned."—Project 2025

 

• Monitor pregnant women [page 450, 471].

 

Trump said that he would be ok with states monitoring women's pregnancies.

 

• Destroy the separation of church & state, & install Christian nationalism [page 4, 261, 351, 481, 560, 581, 589].

 

• Abolish the Department of Education [page 319].

 

"President Trump pledges to close the Department of Education."—Agenda47

 

• Defund public schools, & use taxpayer money to fund private & religious schools [page 5, 319, 350, & 351].

 

• Promote homeschooling [page 348].

 

• Create a new federally operated university called the "American Academy" (to indoctrinate "patriots") & a Presidential Administration Academy to "educate" political appointees.

 

• Impose 10% tariffs on all imported goods [also in Trump's Agenda47], which will significantly increase domestic prices.

 

Trump falsely said about these tariffs, "A tariff is a tax on a foreign country... & it’s a tax that doesn’t affect our country."

 

The Cato Institute, a right-wing, Libertarian think tank, said, "Trump’s Tariff Plan Will Raise Prices for Consumers."

 

Even Project 2025's job application acknowledges that tariffs raise prices.

 

• Reduce the number of tax brackets from 7 to 2 (many lower & middle class taxpayers will pay more, while many high earners will pay less), & lower the corporate tax rate to 18% [page 696].

 

• Introduce a consumption tax, such as a National Sales Tax, which will increase prices of all purchases [page 698].

 

• Dismantle the Affordable Care Act (bring back pre-existing conditions & coverage limits)[page 469].

 

• Drastically cut entitlements like Social Security, Medicare [page 465], Medicaid [page 466], & Veteran's benefits [page 643, 649].

 

• Prohibit the government from negotiating with drug companies to lower prescription costs [page 465].

 

• Defund public broadcasting, including PBS (Sesame Street) & NPR [page 246].

 

These are just the main points.

 

Project 2025 does the exact opposite of its stated goal.

It is the blueprint for an Authoritarian/Fascist takeover of America.

 

Since receiving backlash, the Heritage Foundation has been pretending to moderate their positions...

Don't let them fool you.

Read for yourself in their official plan.
