For what it's worth, it was part of Project 2025 - something one of the candidates claimed to know nothing about...


I'm sorry but Project 2025 still strikes me as fanfiction


What part of it makes it fanfiction to you? Multiple authors of the document are now in cabinet positions in the new administration.


Not sure how you can maintain this belief when you're acknowledging the destruction of agencies in accordance to Project 2025.


Also hard to ignore him nominating several of the authors of, and people involved in, p2025 to his cabinet.

A lot of people who weren't paying attention are going to be saying "I didn't know", "How could've I known", "Why didn't anyone tell me", in the coming months and years.

It's unfortunate so many will suffer at the hands of the disengaged and the misinformed / poorly informed voters of this country.

I'd like to think they'll pay attention after this, but I thought the same thing last time around.


You're right, you weren't paying close enough attention.


they're literally talking about deleting agencies, which was explictly mentioned in the plan.

several of the authors have already received / been earmarked for appointments.

if someone says "i'm going to blow up a building", and then starts buying a ton of dynamite, it's pretty reasonable to assume they're gonna blow up that building.


What do you mean? There are people who wrote parts of Project 2025 who will be in the next government, or do you think the Heritage Foundation has no ties to the future Trump government at all?
