Dismantling Democracy as We Know It
Project 2025 outlines a sweeping takeover of the Federal government that will weaponize and politicize every arm of the US government, from the FBI to the EPA. This plan will do away with the essential checks and balances that keep this country from going off the rails under extremist leadership.
This publication states in no uncertain terms that they want to be able to fire civil employees (doctors, scientists, law enforcement, clerks, intelligence workers) who will not bend to the will of the president.
What exactly is at stake?
Please take the time to learn more about Project 2025 in this summary overview that we created. This overview is not interpretive or subjective. We have simply collated a list of goals that are clearly outlined in the mandate.
The Biden administration also has an excellent Project 2025 webpage that clearly outlines the agenda with highlighted excerpts from the publication.
If you are looking for even more detail, Democracy Forward’s People’s Guide to Project 2025 offers a more comprehensive overview that is still easy to navigate but covers topics in more detail and includes page numbers and often exact quotes.
And yes, Trump knows about it.
While no one expects him to have read the 920-page mandate (we all understand he’s not much of a reader), Trump has frequently said that he “doesn’t know anything” about Project 2025. Of course, we know this is nonsense, but many conservatives like to fall back on his ignorance to distract from the issue. The fact is, there is ample evidence showing that Trump is quite aware of the plan. We have attached a document outlining evidence that Trump is well aware of the Presidential Transition Plan, the power that it will afford him, and the fact that it serves his tyrannical aspirations.
Keep in mind that Trump already tried to do many of these things during his first term as president but was held back by people on his staff who believed in the law and cared about this country. The Presidential Transition Plan has been laid out to start on day one, burning everything to the ground before anyone can stop them.
