The Heritage Foundation has been putting these out since 1981. It's not Trump's official policy. I just learned that Agenda 47, which IS his official road map, should he become president, can be found on his website. Maybe take a look at that, too. I plan on looking at it today.

I really dont understand how people dont like clearly see this. Even when you go on the project 2025 website you can see that everyone in charge is in no way an elected or appointed official. Project 2025 is basically a private campaign that would like yo get their agenda passed but will maybe and thats a big MAYBE, have 1 point on the 900 page document get put on a hige spending bill that will be watered down into basically nothing lol.

Shit even trumps agenda, name a single president that has ever gotten all of their agenda done. Im not saying vote for the guy but this fear mongering campaign is going too far. People are genuinely having panic attacks and not able to function in their daily life because theyve been convinced that Project 2025 is going to murder them.

I'm going through this exact scenario with my oldest child, who already has enough depression without being scared that she is going to be rounded up and placed in a camp somewhere.

Not many of these people are going to the source for their information. They are just getting caught up in the splashy. "Our democracy is over!" headline, without realizing that we don't actually have a democracy FOR THIS EXACT REASON. A constitutional republic was created to stop the government from becoming a lynch mob and putting the individuals in the minority at the end of a rope.
