Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

The book's plans will only cause chaos. And actually a loss of global standing and quality of life for everyone. Not just women, trans and the brown people, like they plan.
Also there is this whole bit about basically abolishing colleges and universities by cutting student loans and regulating them until they are dead. They will first intentionally target programs with high female ratios then eventually all of universities and colleges will be closed.
Forced child labor is a plan as well. Start them young so they accept it.
Then the plan is to bring in h1b experts to fill all the professional positions.
And basically says the immigrants can't complain or rally against the government or they will be deported. So we can work them long hours with low pay and not worry about unions.
Yeah so no one is going to come over to our shithole country to be a slave. Especially not educated experts. You see any experts flocking to Russia or North Korea? Just dying to work there?
Also. The number of positions in our society that requires higher educated people is enormous.
Again the guy who wrote it seems to not understand that even in a single industry, like medicine, There is no way we could get enough foreigners to fill even basic needs.
We already don't have enough medical personnel.
Just a lot of real stupid shit like that. Like it really is mind blowing.
Worse, Project 2025 wasn’t written by one guy, but by a large team of people (mainly the Heritage Foundation and a handful of related groups). This plan was generated by groups of idiots, by a coordinated conservative ‘think tank’.
Many of the problems you pointed out aren’t bugs to them, they’re features. Their goals are very misaligned from ours. If you see it through their lens – of accelerationist dominionism – many of those points aren’t problems, but methods to reshape society to serve their particular goals.
For example, they want all of public education to collapse so that all education can become evangelical church-based. Teachers shouldn’t need to be certified beyond a religious education. They’re already very fond of spinning up universities and giving people the flimsiest of PhDs. Look at the number of Christian authors with ‘Dr’ before their name, then see where they got their doctorate and what it’s in. They do not care about education, except that kids should be able to read the bible and learn extra things for common professions, like working with numbers. If all teachers are housewives with training in the bible and the 4Rs, they think that’s a good thing.
They want to put the lower classes in their place, and that includes religiously. This is pretty clearly a blueprint for a christofascist utopia.
e: links. Also, many in the groups associated with this project are self-avowed dominionists.
Our one saving grace is the people trying to make this happen aren't masterminds. Aren't smart or educated/knowledgeable about even the bare basics of how the country nor people work.
They will fail.
But how much damage will they do before we are rid of them ?
Unfortunately, they can do quite a lot of damage before they fail.
We really need to understand that Hitler Was Incompetent and Lazy—and His Nazi Government Was an Absolute Clown Show.
We’ve mythologised fascists to the point we’ve made recognising them difficult.
