All due respect, if you like The Heritage Foundation, you'll be totally on board with whatever becomes of project 2025, in the event that Trump wins, so you won't have to worry about the consequences.
Hey we're just talking here. If you've got any better ideas than a bloodless coup let's talk about em herpa derpa I'm just a reasonable guy.
Holy shit, I'm not going to keep talking in circles with you but many of us believe the "other" interpretation of Trump's statement last night and his VP pick has already insinuated he'd go along with Trump's seditious plans.
Heritage 100% wrote Project 25. I did not realize this was in doubt.

"Pathetic" and "childish"? Wow. Sorry. I was mistaken about you. I thought we could have a fruitful conversation given how this thread started out.
Well, unless you delete or edit it, this thread will be here for posterity to judge who among us was being "childish" and "pathetic".
i didn't read all this but you highlighted the words: Dismantling the Administrative State.What an innocent, sanitized version of the plan you have. Have you considered what it means by dismantling the administrative state? It means replacing tens of thousands of federal employeees with maga loyalists who are currently being vetted with a litmus test question that asks them if they believe the 2020 election was stolen. It means a cabinet full of loyal ghouls who won't stand in the way of his revengeful plans and he's even stated he wants to move 100,000 federal employees to maga-land in Texas/Oklahoma. You might love that if your interest in politics revolves around owning the libs but that's not good for anyone except Trump himself and could have ugly unforeseen consequences down the road.
WHAT ARE THE PROJECT'S MAIN PROPOSALS?
Project 2025's policy suggestions range in topic from foreign affairs to education.
Among other things, Project 2025 proposes enforcing laws that make it illegal to mail abortion pills over state lines, criminalizing pornography and eliminating the Department of Education.
The project also advocates a sweeping elimination of environmental regulations and a crackdown on programs to boost diversity in the workplace, which the project argues are broadly illegal.
The project also calls for a broad expansion in presidential power by boosting the number of political appointees and increasing the president's authority over the Justice Department. That last proposal has spooked many law enforcement officials, who say it will undermine the department's ability to conduct investigations without political interference.
- Project 2025 echoes Donald Trump’s critical view of the media. As a result, it proposes to strip public broadcasting of its funding and legal status, thus endangering access to reliable news for American citizens.
- The authors allege that Big Tech colluded with the government to attack American values and advance “wokeism.” In response, they envision sweeping antitrust enforcement not on economic grounds, but for socio-political reasons.
- On artificial intelligence policy, Project 2025 remains vague and fails to propose solutions for key policy areas such as privacy, safety, and the information ecosystem. Lagging on AI oversight and dismantling existing protections is dangerous for individuals and democracies alike.

How do you know the political make-up of all the civil servants in the federal government? Where did you get those stats? The vast majority of federal employees are just decent Americans who love their country and want to serve. Their positions are inherently apolitical and their allegiance to a party is not monolithic.

Like my “view” that it was an obvious attempt on his life and bullets flew all around the man’s head and common sense tells any normal breathing human that he was hit by a bullet or bullet fragment? Yeah. Either that person is trolling, blinded by ideology (I think this is you and many in this thread) or a big dumb dipshit.
You're wasting your time. There is zero effort at legitimate discussion in this thread.
washington dc voted 92% for biden in 2020How do you know the political make-up of all the civil servants in the federal government? Where did you get those stats? The vast majority of federal employees are just decent Americans who love their country and want to serve. Their positions are inherently apolitical and their allegiance to a party is not monolithic.
In fact, only 43% identify as Democrats and the other 57% identify as Independent and Republican. Draining the swamp means removing anyone from the government that might not go along with Donald's crime spree, no matter their affiliation.
How would it be smart to remove all those experienced, dedicated servants to replace them all with maga loyalists who believe the election was stolen? Would that be good for our country? And if so, why? Donald is NOT our country and the government should not be turned upside down to serve him and him alone.
The ‘woke’ bureaucracy? How feds lean
"About 43% of respondents said they planned to vote Democrat this year compared to 33% Republican and 16% independent."
Federal workers, both Democrat and Republican, eager to vote this fall
Past behavior shows this population will show up big at the polls. How feds will vote is less clear.
- 85% of federal employees live outside of Washington DC
Look at this, just bald-faced lying here. You say you don't trust the people behind it, and only a few posts later you're gushing over the think tank(s) behind it, as well as advocating for it. It continues to astonish me, on an almost daily basis, how y'all pretend to engage in thoughtful political discourse thinking none of us see right through you.
I also love how you think this market-research based scripted speech is fooling anyone. You have a script, and it's clearly something you've posted about a lot, which means you're more than just an impartial advocate who thinks making America great again sounds like a perfectly reasonable idea.
Here's another trick these people try to pull. They conflate the meanings of words and just assume it for everyone, so you don't bother wondering if mainstream and populist actually do mean the same thing.
Come on in here @leetp and tell us how this actually does make good sense for a healthy democracy if you just think about it.
Imagine if Dabo came out before the UGA game and told everyone the only way we lose is if the refs cheat for UGA? How well would that be received?
🤣very true and I'm only laughing thinking about which fan base would get more upset if Dabo said that, and I think it would of course be South Carolina.
So you think Pence had the power to overturn the election? If you do, you are even dumber than I thought you were.
We've discussed this before already. If Trump is given four more years to meddle with our institutions, I wouldn't put anything past him based on what he's already tried to do. I would expect him to model the Orban strategy of removing barriers that prevent him from concentrating more power in the executive branch. We already know that he admires the man and his acolytes have made several pilgrimages to Hungary to study the methods Orban used in preparation to adopt them in a second term. Vance won't stand in his way.
Yeah bc Hungary's constitution is exactly like ours, lol. Anything orban did trump could do right? What can Vance, or any other cabinet member, stop if they wanted to that you are so afraid of? Give me a specific example of how you are afraid he would end our democracy and become a king/tyrant. Even though I have asked this repeatedly, you won't answer the question bc if you stop to try and think of something legitimate you realize how insane it sounds. You and your party continually spout unfounded "end of democracy" rhetoric without actually giving a single example of what that could possibly be.
