Robert Reich, Guardian - The goals of Project 2025 are the same goals Trump tried to achieve in his first term or has been advocating in this campaign. One key goal of Project 2025 is to purge all government agencies of anyone more loyal to the constitution than to Trump – a process Trump himself started in October 2020 when he thought he would remain in office.
Trump
has promised to give rightwing evangelical Christians what they want.
Accordingly, Project 2025 calls for withdrawing the abortion pill
mifepristone from the market, expelling trans service members from the
military, banning life-saving gender affirming care for young people,
ending all diversity programs, and using “school choice” to gut public
education.
Project
2025 also calls for eliminating “woke propaganda” from all laws and
federal regulations – including the terms “sexual orientation”,
“diversity, equity, and inclusion”, “gender equality”, and “reproductive
rights”.
Other items in the Project 2025 blueprint are precisely what Trump has called for on the campaign trail, including mass arrests and deportations of undocumented people in the United States, ending many worker protections, dropping prosecutions of far-right militias like the Proud Boys, and giving additional tax cuts to big corporations and the rich.
Trump has repeatedly claimed that climate change is a “hoax”. Project 2025 calls for expanding oil drilling in the United States, shrinking the geographic footprint of national monuments, terminating clean energy incentives, and ending fossil fuel regulations.
Trump has said he’d seek vengeance against those who have prosecuted him for his illegal acts. Project 2025 calls for the prosecution of district attorneys Trump doesn’t like, and the takeover of law enforcement in blue cities and states. Project 2025 is, in short, the plan to implement what Donald Trump has said he wants to do if he’s re-elected.
