In case people don’t know what Project 2025 is.
Here’s the document:
AT LEAST READ THE FOREWARD. It very meticulously lays out their 4 goals:
- Restore the family as the centerpiece of American life and protect our children.
- Dismantle the administrative state and return self-governance to the American people.
- Defend our nation’s sovereignty, borders, and bounty against global threats.
- Secure our God-given individual rights to live freely—what our Constitution calls “the Blessings of Liberty
In plain language they want to:
- Effectively make LGBTQ+ persons illegal, unable to marry, adopt, or even exist openly, nationally ban abortion, ban education about black history and systemic racism;
- hamstring or eliminate a bunch of government agencies like the Department of Education, the EPA, the DOJ, Department of Homeland Security, and to eliminate many positions within the federal government or install loyal puppets;
- close our borders completely, pull out of NATO and the UN, invest heavily in oil, coal, and natural gas while divesting in renewable energy and removing environmental regulations, and exert extreme control over tech companies and universities;
- create school voucher programs which very much are to allow parents to segregate their children and use tax dollars to fund conservative, religious, private schools at k-12 levels, and eliminate social welfare programs. Also includes the contradiction of “champion the dynamic genius of free enterprise” and “include antitrust enforcement against corporate monopolies.”
The whole thing is full of conservative buzz words, “anti-woke” rhetoric, and contradictions about free enterprise while wanting to exert control over people and “big tech.”
But it’s also dangerous because they’re going to attempt to consolidate power to the next Republican president. There are complicated and far-reaching consequences to the things they’re proposing that would take an academic paper to get into. For example, Ron DeSantis just signed a bill making lab-grown meat illegal because of the “global elite.” It doesn’t make any sense, but it’s part of the reactionary, anti-leftist, culture war bullshit the Republicans are on right now.
That summary should be enough to show why this is so dangerous.
Here’s the education of the guy who heads the think tank that made this bullshit up:
Roberts earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, a Master of Arts in history from Virginia Tech, and a Ph.D. in American history from University of Texas at Austin.

So basically, a history professor with 3rd rate qualifications from 4th rate universities.
No experience or knowledge in politics whatsoever.
If this is the garbage that actually sparks off the next US civil war, I will lose my fucking mind at the stupidity of it all.
He’s the president of the fucking Heritage Foundation. That makes him the head of one of the most influential political organisations in the country.
That’s much more important than what his PhD was on.
O rly? Do tell how they are so influential-- without quoting their marketing material.
And if they have any influence whatsoever, frankly that makes it worse.
So basically, a history professor with 3rd rate qualifications from 4th rate universities.
I’m sorry, what’s up bro?
I’ll never get this snob-tier shit, where you need to go to Eaton, Cambridge, and Oxford before we can take your bigotry seriously.
There are plenty of first tier universities in the US. Shame this guy couldn’t get in to any of them
