I cannot read the WaPo piece.... paywall.
But, based on OP's post, this seems like nothing more than fear mongering. I did some research on Project 25. It is basically a transition project to bring in conservative outsiders to be able to hit the ground running in Jan. 2025 regardless of WHAT Republican wins the election. Paul Dans, director, calls this project "candidate agnostic." The website: https://www.project2025.org Interview on CSPAN with Paul Dans, director of project explaining more about it: https://www.c-span.org/video/?530201-3/paul-dans-2025-presidential-transition-project |

When Trump won in 2016 I thought world was going to end. I think I may have cried, I certainly saw people on the bus crying when results were announced. I found his presidency years to be uneventful. Did you feel like the world was ending and chaos was making you feel like there is no future during the 4 years of his presidency? Do you feel more like it now? Be honest.

With conservatives like you I wonder: deliberately missing the point or pathetically thick and unable to infer what it all means Here’s the short version: you know how our government is non political, by design, because the founders had had enough petty squabbles in the old country? The GOP wants to take all the non-political positions and fire them all, 50,000 people gone, and rehire with those who are sufficiently regressive. https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/conservatives-aim-to-restructure-u-s-government-and-replace-it-with-trumps-vision You know how, in theory at least, we have a non-partisan judiciary (despite conservatives calling anyone who doesn’t agree with them 100% “activist judges”)? That would be gone, too: “There’s a “top to bottom overhaul” of the Department of Justice, particularly curbing its independence and ending FBI efforts to combat the spread of misinformation. It calls for stepped-up prosecution of anyone providing or distributing abortion pills by mail.” What the GOP is planning is deeply, deeply un-American. If you find yourself thinking this is a good idea, take a 100% media break. |

You might want to get checked for early onset. You seem to have forgotten EVERYTHING. |

I don't care what he does in his private time, just like I didn't care much for the Clinton Lewinsky scandal. Foreign policy that doesn't make you feel like we are on a brink of WWIII would be nice. I did think he was unhinged enough in 2016 and inexperienced to actually start WWIII. But it was quiet and we went along worrying about our own lives and trying to build futures for our families. Now everyone and their mother is an activist and regular citizens are way more involved in all sorts of politics (most divisive) including on the International arena despite very little background and personal ties to the regions. I am not insinuating that this is entirely caused by who holds the highest seat of power in our country. It's also time of vast proliferation of social media into our everyday lives and various international and domestic groups using these tools to reach the eyeballs and ears to spread propaganda. They ALL do this. |

You “find this a bit unrealistic.” Voters like you used to say the same thing when people like me warned you that the GOP wanted to overturn Roe. Roe is overturned. People like you downplayed any threat of violence from Trump’s followers. January 6th happened; the coup failed by the skin of its teeth. People like you said of claims that the GOP was becoming increasingly fascist were overblown; school book shelves were bare in some states in response to broad categories of books being banned. Trump is promising violence on his enemies. He’s promising to invoke the Insurrection Act. The GOP already has lists of people who are willing to come take these formerly non-political positions after Trump fires them all (that’s in the article from PBS). The Heritage Foundation means business on this: they have a website, a coffee table book of their plan, they have a twitter account, they maintain their Wikipedia page. Do you like the general premise of America? Non-retributive, non-corrupt, apolitical, a functional government that gets things done? Don’t call this “unrealistic.” Understand that the GOP is telegraphing their goals to you and every other voter in the plainest way possible. |

It's relevant when he becomes subservient to Putin as he is. But Trump is "all bark and no bite" so his foreign policy may suit you. Just random Tweets that contradict each other hour to hour, day to day...so everybody just ignores for all intents and purposes. |

I would say this forum is full of your standard well-off suburban liberals brainwashed by the MSM. Go and get exposed to unfiltered news by going to European news, Japanese/Korean/Taiwanese news, etc. to get out of your own bubble. |

| All I hear in this thread from Conservatives is criticism of Biden. Nobody has come forward with a defense of the 2025 Plan. |

Maybe you should pony up to read the article. |

They aren't telegraphing it. They are telling the public exactly what they will do. It isn't a secret. Just like the plans for 1/6/21 were not a secret. We saw the Eastman memo. We saw the "it will be wild" tweet. We saw the Proud Boys ad other meetings at the White House in December, 2020. This is no diferent. It isn't far fetched, it is what they are promising to do. |

I would love to see a defense of the plan as well, And the fact that there isn't one is quite a tell. It sounds like there are a bunch of Christian Fascists who are perfectly happy to destroy what we all know of the USA. |

That’s also not really a reply to what the PP wrote. |
