Here are just a few of the nightmares contained in Project 2025, the @GOP's far-right extremist vision for a second Trump presidency:

Kevin Roberts’ foreword to Project 2025 calls for the president to use undefined “emergency powers” to prosecute companies involved in the production and sale of pornography.

Using the 1873 Comstock Act anti-vice law to criminalize the sending of abortion pills, contraception and literature advocating for abortion through the U.S. Postal Service

Reversing the FDA’s approval of abortion pills and implement a ban on both pill and surgical abortion nationwide

Eliminating the entire federal Civil Service and replacing it with appointees solely loyal to Donald Trump.

Installing all senior State and Defense Department officials in “acting” roles that don’t require Senate confirmation.

Invoking the Insurrection Act on Day One - whether there are protests or not - and empowering the military to serve as domestic law enforcement to 'crack down' on peaceful protest.

Restructuring the NSA, the FBI, the Department of Justice and our intelligence agencies so they report solely to the president, with no Cabinet-level oversight

Requiring schools to promote a “biblically based” education program that teaches the moral correctness of a heterosexual two-parent family

Eliminating the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Education, and all federal agencies.

Suspending all immigration into the United States, repeal the bipartisan Refugee Act of 1980 and end U.S participation in international treaties governing the treatment of asylum seekers

Limiting combat veterans to 10 years of disability claims, ending enrollment in VA medical care for Class 7 and 8 veterans, and cutting disability pay for veterans by $160 billion — which in case you were wondering, is the entire budgeted amount for disability pay.

Authorizing the president to refuse funding for congressionally budgeted items if he deems those projects unnecessary or ideologically wrong.

Authorizing the president to redirect budgeted money from other areas of the federal government to build a wall on the US-Mexico border.

Ending all federal research and investment into renewable energy, green technology and climate studies.

Eliminating the terms “sexual orientation", “diversity, equity, and inclusion”, “gender equality”, "abortion" and “reproductive rights” from all federal laws and regulations.

Ending overtime protections for 4.3 million federal workers and reducing retirement benefits for the entire federal workforce.

Removing 33 million Americans from Medicare and pushing them into Medicare Advantage or private options with less coverage.

Deny federal student loan access to students in 25 states that currently provide in-state tuition to undocumented immigrants.

Eliminating the federal Head Start program, essentially kicking 1 million children out of education programming nationwide.

Rename the Department of Health and Human Safety to the “Department of Life” and turn the department into an advocate for extensive restrictions on contraception and abortion nationwide.

Dismantling the Department of Homeland Security and replacing it with a new intelligence agency directed at American citizens, accountable only to the president.

Immediately begin the detention and deportation of 10 million undocumented immigrants, bypassing the traditional deportation legal process in favor of executive orders from the White House.

Drastically educe the availability of H-2A and H-2B work visas for skilled migrant workers.

Ending all protections from the DREAM Act for the children of undocumented migrants who came to this country as babies.

Implementing a 10% across-the-board tariff on all imported goods, which economists estimate would cost American families over $1,500 per year in higher prices.

Ending or sharply reducing federal food assistance programs for 21.6 million American households, including programs aimed at addressing child hunger.

I can keep going.

Surprise, surprise
