I decided, for funsies, to read project 2025…it’s started off strong with them wanting to delete terms like gender, diversity, abortion, reproductive health & rights “out of every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, & piece of legislation that exists.”
This sentence threw me for a loop… not sure how being transgender is pornography… but the rest of the paragraph is saying what we have all been warning… they are trying to make it illegal for trans people to exist… there was also A LOT of anti-trans regulation throughout.
54% of Americans read at or below a 6th grade reading level… making them a “child’s primary educator” sounds like an absolutely horrible idea… & also, no more nicknames for students!
Not only do republicans want to eliminate the department of education, they also want to privatize schools, & fund faith-based institutions. There are sooo many issues with privatizing education, but those manly affect poor children & republicans don’t care about poor children…
Ah the classic, we will fire any “left” federal workers, the DOJ, and the environment protection agency… and also anyone who is a democrat and holds a government position.
Oh, this one is fun, “Tiktok is the root of all evil, controlling the youth… and the Chinese government has infiltrated colleges and universities!”… & then goes on saying tiktok should be banned. Bc allowing genZ & millennials to easily communicate cannot be allowed!
They are really doubling down with the whole, not attending college… so much so that only workers who didn’t attend college will get raises…
So if you are obese, suffer from depression, or have IBS you should not be hired? Weird take…
Ah rainbows, such divisive symbols…
& they aren’t even pretending to be ok with the LGBTQ+ community… bc a family is made up of a mother, father & children… and that’s also the only way anyone can receive “reproductive technologies”. & also allow discrimination against the LGBTQ+ when it comes to adoption…
This proposal is really interesting, conservatives want to gut the education system, reward the uneducated, but then only allow the most educated immigrants into the country, who will receive the highest wages… so, **checks notes**, Americans can work all the low paying jobs?
And of course, ban all students from “enemy nations”…
What I’m hearing is, unless journalism is painting Trump in the best light, it’s considered “highly critical” and not allowed…
This is actually hilarious, they say a journalist is not credible to hold the USAGM CEO position bc of “security failures” & “credibility failures”… but the orange reality TV host, who shared classified national security documents with everyone, is fine to be president…
And ironically, Trump’s USAGM CEO was found to have “repeatedly abused the powers of his office, broke laws and regulations, and engaged in gross mismanagement.” Republicans are always projecting…
& when talking about stripping funding for Public Broadcasting, they mention the trillion dollars of debt, which republican presidents have historically added to each presidency, & then say these broadcasting services don’t push conservative views 24/7 so why give them funding?
And my favorite is where they break down the viewership of PBS & NPR, saying it’s “mostly liberal”, while ignoring the fact that the majority of the country is liberal or independent… & most republicans think all news is “fake news”.
& here we go… the defunding of Medicare &Medicaid…bc forcing women, who can’t afford to have a child, to pay completely out of pocket for prenatal care & a hospital birth, which costs thousands and thousands of dollars, completely makes sense…
& speaking of forcing women to pay thousands of dollars, they want to ban abortion drugs… bc who needs a $0-600 pill when you can get a D&C SURGERY, for a partial miscarriage, that costs $15k+… & a D&C is medically considered an abortion, and is, in fact, healthcare.
85% of women who have abortions are single, funding single-motherhood would help decrease abortions… but republicans say, forget that! Let’s force them to have babies, and then punish them for being single. & also not allow condoms to be covered under health insurance for women
Besides the entire section about reducing & making food & nutrition programs harder to access, they want to remove free school lunches bc of the “fraud” that was happening with feeding children who “could afford to pay for lunches”… So, making it harder for starving children 👍
& speaking of children’s lunches, let’s also remove all dietary guidelines, bc who needs those…
Besides their obsession with “working fathers” if you were wondering what Republican’s thoughts were on working mothers… wonder no longer. They apparently don’t want mothers to work…
AND HERE IT IS! Republicans want to be allowed to legally come after women for having “self induced” miscarriages… they want to ban abortions nationwide, & then come after women. So, if you have any substances in your system at the time of a miscarriage, you are screwed.
And would it even be a conservative blueprint if they didn’t mention Hunter Biden’s Laptop?
And if anyone wants the pdf… thf_media.s3.amazonaws.com/project2025/20…
There was also a lot about CRT bans, and of course changing the definition of gender to be directly determined by the sex listed on your birth certificate… & all their major talking points.
Also thought I would mention, according to this pdf, apparently the entire government is fully run by “the left”… which is really confusing being that republicans control the house, basically half of the senate, the Supreme Court, and trump was just president for 4 years…
