Yes I agree Trump is a disaster but I just find it hard to believe all this project 2025 stuff. Maybe some nut jobs are planning it but they won’t be able to execute it.

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.

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.

What do you find "a bit unrealistic" about it?

It truly fascinates me that people will simply dismiss this possibility out of hand when we have ample evidence in the form of things Trump actually DID:

-deploying anonymous federal forces in DC
-directing OMB not to release transition funds
-signing the Executive Order for Schedule F
-firing Mark Esper at DOD, firing James Comey, firing Jeff Sessions

as well as things he tried to do:

-steal an election
-firing Gina Haspel at CIA
-blackmail the President of Ukraine,
-install loyalists at all levels of government

and then say things like, "this is unrealistic," or this is fear-mongering. If you truly believe that then I urge you to wake up.

I have a feeling that all the people that are sitting around thinking none of the above applies to them may end up with a very rude wake up call when they find out that they aren't as insulated as they think.

Why do you find it unrealistic? They are literally telling you what they are going to do.

Trump already has a record of weaponizing the DOJ (see the Durham report) and staging a coup to overturn his losing election. Why would you think this is not a valid issue?

I don't have an issue with it. I think the media that has written pieces on it are full-on fear mongering.

This is an effort to get everything in place for a Republican president come 2025. Bring in people who are not politicians, train them, help them understand the roles of different agencies, provide support and connections.

Nothing I see about this plan supports anything that is unconstitutional.

Then you know nothing about the Constitution.

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."
