Was it actually popular? No one I know of even has heard of it.
Even Trump had the awareness to first implicitly write off Project 2025 by having these Black Americans For Trump meetings that no one showed up for - not even him). When that [obviously] didn’t work he then explicitly said he wasn’t part of this nonsense.
Yeah, but a bunch of people from his administration were involved in writing it, including Steve Bannon and Stephen Miller his deportation and immigration guy.
Project 2025 is focused on replacing public servants, with 'Trump Loyalists"… Such terms associated with Trump are laced throughout the document, showing up over 300 times… And JD Vance has also talked about this idea.
… Clarence Thomas has based his whole career on this idea, which he calls “Destroying the Administrative State”, and Trump has always used the phrase “draining the swamp” and “destroying the deep state”. It’s also very much like his Fake electors plot that he was already involved with last election.
The whole idea behind Project 2025 is that a bunch of the legal documents to create a dictatorship (otherwise called “unitary executive theory”) - where the powers of the executive branch would be greatly expanded - have already been written up, and Trump just needs to sign them on day one. After that, his unique powers would be legal.
…and he keeps saying “I’ll only be a dictator on day one”. Which seems to be in line with the Project 2025 plan.
Project 2025 was written by the Heritage Foundation, who often writes and recycles these plans. They wrote one for Reagan, which is why he cut the corporate tax rate, and one for bush suggesting invading Kuwait. So they often get what they want.
In 2018, they bragged on their website that two thirds of the previous “Mandate for Leadership” they wrote for Trump had been passed into law. So The Heritage Foundation is no small operation. They’re a large part of how GOP candidates adopt a policy agenda.
Thank you for all of this info. I didn’t reliaze this Heritage Foundation is so old. Still, it really does feel like the same old Regean era stuff they always put out. I guess that’s the reason why the alarm isn’t going on in many people’s heads.

Yeap but Trump then went on to name JD Vance as his VP. JD Vance wrote the foreword for a book about this garbage project by one of the authors and all but jizzed all over it in praise.
They cannot truly disassociate from it; not that their base would care, or be able to read this project, or understand it
I get what you mean. It’s all the same Republicans at all of these different clubs. We really need to start forcing education in conservative areas. A war against stupidity is required. Otherwise, we just loop through the same stuff, every election cycle.
