    Project 2025 wants to:

    • Outlaw pornography
    • Outlaw abortion
    • Outlaw homosexuality
    • Eliminate all major checks on presidential power. Say goodbye to the system of checks and balances
    • Replace many federal workers with those who are loyal only to the president

    www.defeatproject2025.org breaks it down by topic, also highly suggest John Oliver’s segment on it

    I’ve never seen something as unhinged as Project 2025. I mean it, it sounds like a shitty “evil plan” cooked on 4chan, but it’s fucking real. Insane.

    Why would it be bad to terminate investigations that are unlawful or contrary to national interests?

    Literally just yesterday I posted about it in my family’s political group chat and my older sister said, and I quote:

    “even though I lean left, I’m actually glad that conservatives have a playbook! Why? because Trump’s first term presidential transition (2017) was totally bungled… he needs a list of people that he can appoint from, so that these agencies don’t just fall apart… Don’t kid yourself, Biden’s team and Obama’s team and the democrats overall definitely have their own playbook and their list of potential appointees. They just don’t have to crowdsource theirs!”

    cue insane Charlie Kelly screams

      Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

      In this case, the law being freedom of speech, the protection being to say what they want and the binding being to prohibit others from curtailing that. Naturally, the push for inclusive language is part of a movement to curtail that freedom and needs to be reversed and pushed back against.
