Project 2025 (and its auxiliary Trump’s “Agenda 47”) are a plan by right-wing extremists and other authoritarians to end America’s multiracial democracy and to replace it with a White Christian nationalist plutocracy.
A conspiracy is a plan by two or more people operating in private to advance their interests and goals above those of some other person(s) — or in this context the American people. Project 2025 is not a conspiracy. These plans are exhaustively detailed in a book titled “Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise” and are regularly discussed at conferences, in interviews, and in other public forums. Project 2025 and its related plans, like Agenda 47, were not hatched overnight. As author and journalist Anne Nelson and other experts have been extensively documenting, Project 2025 and the other right-wing extremists’ and neofascists’ plans to end America’s multiracial democracy have been years and decades in development
a plan by right-wing extremists
I don’t think the word “extremist” is appropriate when the overwhelming majority of conservatives support it. Project 2025 is just what regular conservatives plan to do to oppress and eradicate the normal people.
Here in Germany we learn that extremists are people with opinions that go against the system, trying to overthrow the system. By that definitions they are extremists, I think?
Actually the definition is more nuanced. A radical (from latin radix = root) is someone who wants to change the political system from its core by using legal procedures like elections. An extremist is someone who despite being in a minority trys to overthrow the system in violent terms. So depending on Trump’s win or a mop running in the capitol and declaring Trump the winner, they are either radicals or extremist.
By the way, The Heritage foundation has a “Project <year>” document pretty regularly, so these ideas aren’t going away and aren’t dependant on a particular candidate… They’re well funded and backed by the think tank.
The number of people discussing the election that don’t know about project 2025 is disturbing
Both sides… Right?
No, but yes. Democrats fund extremist Republicans in order to “secure” their seats. The amount of times this has blown up in their faces means that they are, at the minimum, culpable for the extremism festering on the right. Their party isn’t as bad, but it does answer to the same interests (big business) that the Republicans get their matching orders from.
You’re being downvoted to hell and back but part of the reason where here is because the DNC in 2016 chose to support and push the right’s fringe candidates assuming they were unelectable…it’s has absolutely failed.
What GOP candidates have the DNC boosted that went on to defeat the Democratic candidate? Just curious.

I’m happy to listen to your points if you have well documented evidence.
Just because they have shitty opsec doesn’t mean it’s not a conspiracy.
The full details aren’t public.
I think what they are trying to say is that the people behind Project 2025 aren’t going to show their whole hand. This is just step 1. There are most likely plans and schemes that won’t be revealed until they have implemented the first part.
