Summary
Despite disavowing Project 2025 during the campaign, Trump’s transition team is now using its extensive database of vetted conservative candidates to help fill over 4,000 government positions.
Project 2025, criticized for its extreme policy proposals and links to Trump’s first administration, created a “conservative LinkedIn” of 10,000 candidates.
While some contributors are being tapped for key roles, others face rejection due to controversial stances.
Democrats, who used Project 2025 in campaign attacks, are warning of its influence on Trump’s agenda and planning policy responses.
I have a friend who says things like “oh that project isn’t real its just a think tank”.
Nobody writes a document that long and detailed just as a little thought experiment. It was obviously a manifesto and I don’t know how so many people against project 2025 still voted for the party supporting it.
It had a 4!!! Percent approval rating. 4!!
And yet… he won the popular vote.
I’m an American in a poor red state. I really hope the FO portion of fafo hits us SUPER hard.
It’ll suck for me… but man it’ll be great to be that smug asshole reminding folks who they voted for.
In my county 23% voted Harris. So odds are good that dude in the lifted Ford is a trumpkin.
Fucking idiots…
Same, red county-district-state. I would hope the same but they won’t attribute it to their dear* leader. His Tariffs and GOP policy will fuck them too, but fox and podcasts will tell them it’s the deep state Democrats keeping them down. They all were doing the “this is Biden’s America” posts in 2020. GOP can do no wrong in their eyes. Used to be child rape was a deal breaker but even that is A-OK now, as long as the Democrats lose.
Did He?
Conspiracy theorist nonsense debunked by snopes.
Oh shit I hadn’t seen that.
Yet she was part of the administration that got you that huge infrastructure project and new factory incentives the donvict will take credit for

All the policy goals are the same as what’s been in the Republican platform for decades. The only thing Project 2025 adds is how to get there. Is Trump a useful idiot? Maybe, although it would be silly to operate under that assumption rather than believing he’s just as committed as the rest of them. Either way, the idea having seeped into the popular consciousness of the American voter that Project 2025 is something other than a serious plan for a Republican administration is an astonishing bit of doublethink. Orwell spins like a turbine in his grave.
Actually getting the policys in place is the hardest part of policy making. Now they’ll be able to do that.
We’re going to need to hook Orwell up to the grid. He’s going to produce a lot of spins in the next few years.
I thought it was considered unique in detailing how to get rid of checks and balances, ergo terminate democracy.
Can you be truly against something if you cannot even be bothered to have the slightest idea what it is?
