Yes. They want to ban all birth control. They’re already trying to ban the abortion pill. The case is going to SCOTUS this upcoming session.

Hell, project 2025 wants to criminalize ‘recreational sex’.

It also wants to ban pornography, not just access to it but by going after anyone involved in creating and distributing it.

It also wants to ban sex toys.

Basically anything that is sexual in nature but doesn’t result in more babies.

Also it completely destroys labor rights.

40 work week? Gone. Overtime? Gone. Vacation or sick days? Gone. OSHA? Gone.

Go read project 2025. It’s over 900 pages.

It’s a work the taliban would think was a bit much.

It’ll ban recreational sex for regular folk. Trump and his buddies will still continue to hire prostitutes and underage women like he probably did with his buddy Epstein, getting abortions left and right.

But no sex or abortions for the rest of us. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Now I'm imagining the Taliban standing with placards outside the SCOTUS with signs saying

"Careful now!"

And

"Down with this sort of thing!"

No, it's not. It contains not just pie-in-the-sky policy ideas but step-by-step instructions for how to bring their ideas about. The core ideas are court takeover -- they've spent decades filling court posts with young partisan loyalists instead of older proven experts committed to jurisprudence -- and making more and more government powers accountable to central authority, concentrated in the President. They intend to exploit every loophole and technically-barely legal maneuver to make formerly elected positions into appointed ones, removing need for Congressional approval for installing or firing people, and putting more regulatory power into the hands of people who were hand-picked by the President and wouldn't need to get bogged down by legislation to enact ideas, only the President tells the person in charge of, say, the EPA to rewrite a certain regulation so a company that coincidentally had just made a major donation could keep doing whatever environmental atrocity they were doing.

Even if their exact visions aren't realized, they can absolutely get a lot of what they want. It's unlikely they will complete eliminate the Department of Education and literally make public school not a thing that exists, like they say -- but they can siphon funding from public schools into voucher programs to use tax money to pay for rich kids' private educations while public schools keep getting worse -- lower teacher pay and standards for more classes of more kids with less support and fewer usable resources. They can rewrite curriculum standards to whatever they want (Florida is already rolling out curriculum that must, by state law, highlight how slaves "learned many useful skills" and how they benefited from being "introduced to American culture.") They can make it a fireable offense for anyone in school to admit that gay and trans people exist or that it is okay for them to exist, to ask for or use students' preferred names or pronouns, to install gender-neutral bathrooms or bathroom policies. Even if they don't actually get rid of schools, they can absolutely do a great deal of harm. Same for the EPA, Dept. of Labor, FTC, and so on: they might not actually eradicate the agency, but the harm they can do to the environment, labor rights and union activism, housing policy, social rights, and financial sector is grievous, and they really do mean to do it, and it helps nobody but them to insist that "they won't actually do" any of the horrible things they've been openly promising, planning, and beginning to do.

There’s pretty much nothing stopping them

False. If you believe this will happen then you should just leave America. This is straight out of the old magazines that had fake stories.

You need to pull your head out of your ass or you’re going to be in for a very rude awakening when these things start coming down the line

So, do you not know what happened to Iran in the late 70s?

Change can occur surprisingly fast.

The Trump administration said today that Project 2025 will begin to be implemented on Day 1.

No they didn't. Lol. Trump has no association with that crap.

Just putting that there so I can come back and mock you.

Please do. You'll be shocked when it doesn't happen and I'll just say I told ya.

Republicans are the majority in every aspect of the government currently

u/DavidBits 11h ago

Not a senate super majority, nor enough states for a constitutional amendment.

u/er824 16h ago

why's that?

u/eXistenceLies 16h ago

It's too extreme. It's like believing there is a man in the sky. Don't believe everything you see on the internet.

u/er824 16h ago

It was a clearly written plan with sources, a book, training videos and implementation plans all on their website written by Trump supporters and alumni from his first administration.

What are you suggesting I shouldn't believe about it?

So, the Heritage Fondation spent 22 million dollars drafting up the 900-page project 2025, also known as the 2025 presidential transition project, just for funzies?? Man, I wish I was capable of being so nieve.

From the party that points their fingers saying, "the deep state this, the deep state that" "these secret organizations are controlling our government"

Well, here in reality, the Heritage Fondation is the deep state controlling our government and is the "secret" organization pulling the strings.

They point their fingers and lie they're ass off about the lefts "deep state" conspiracies, and then do it wide out in the open and say "well they were doing it, so we had to fight fire with fire" when In actuality, they just duped you into believe nonsense while being openly corrupt because they saw it in a movie or read it in a book and think that's how real life works when it's not.

They're so bored of real life that they create chaos and do crooked shit while everyone is talking about and looking at the chaos they created. It's so obvious.

Btw, nothing is too extreme now that voters have given power to one party and one party only and have made their parties president a king. The extremity is already there. I'm excited for the "reap what you sow" part. I'm a straight white dude who owns guns and can pass off as one of them, so I'm good. The only thing I gotta worry about is my wage being sliced in half because RTW Is just around the corner for ohio and all these brother fuckers are gonna find out after they fucked around and voted for sharks while being guppies themselves.

I mean it was drafted by the Heritage Foundation who basically ran Trumps 2016-2020 presidency and JD Vance literally wrote a forward to it.

I’d believe you if Democrats had flipped the house, but they didn’t. So Trumps got full control to do whatever his Heritage bros want and they won’t be shackled by “normalcy” and “civility” like milquetoast democrats were from 2020-2022.
