Donald Trump's supporters celebrated their plans to implement Project 2025 after months claiming they had nothing to do with the former president.
Summary
Following Donald Trump’s election victory, Republicans are now openly embracing Project 2025, a policy agenda from The Heritage Foundation that outlines sweeping conservative reforms.
Despite Trump’s attempts to distance himself from the project during his campaign due to its extreme proposals—including expanded executive powers, a national abortion ban, stricter contraception limits, harsh immigration policies, and the elimination of agencies like the Department of Education—his allies quickly began celebrating its implementation.
Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon and commentator Matt Walsh publicly affirmed the agenda, signaling the GOP's commitment to enacting these controversial policies in Trump’s second term.
They know they can't win if people know who they are and what they want. Maybe this will teach a small fraction of their supporters who they really are.
Have you seen none of the flyers/banners that popped up this election? The fact that he's a felon is celebrated. The fact that he's a rapist is celebrated. The fact that he openly speaks against overtime pay is celebrated. Fuck, even his divorces are celebrated. He could literally shoot someone in the face at a rally, and it would just boost his support.
They don't care to understand the details or the nuance. They don't need to. The team they are cheering on has told them what to do and they enjoy obeying their masters.
