Project 2025 Affirmed by Trump's Transition Team

Trump's transition team turns to Project 2025 after disavowing it during the campaign

Transition officials have used Project 2025's extensive personnel database to identify potential hires for the incoming administration, a person familiar with the plans said.

When Project 2025 was revealed to be a template for Trump's next
presidency, Trump distanced himself from this reality. Project 2025
has some very radical proposals in it.

Now, though, the core authors of Project 2025 have put together a
LinkedIn database of Trump supporters, to help Trump's transition
team pick new appointments for the Trump government.

Trump ran on many statements that essentially said "I'm not radical --
I had nothing to do with Project 2025." But now, Trump is putting forward cabinet
proposals who are VERY radical, and many of which are not qualified to run large
agencies.

Apparently, Project 2025 WAS the plan for the new Trump government.

Okay, so what's supposed to be done about it?

 

[Landon Caeli]

I used to think Project 2025 was a wild conspiracy theory, but the more I hear about it, the more used to it I get- and now I feel like Project 2025 might actually be a good idea.

...I'd be interested in discussing further the agendas proposed in Project 2025.

 

[Akita Suggagaki]

Okay, so what's supposed to be done about it?

Get used to the lies.

 

[ozso]

Get used to the lies.

We're already used to the lies about Trump.

 

[JimR-OCDS]

Project 2025 and Trump have no connection despite the left's attempt trying to
tie him to it.

However, Project 2025 is 900 pages long. If you read it and disagree with it,
share what part you disagree with. I'd like to know.

FYI, Project 2025 isn't law, just an ideology.

However, Biden did make transgenderism law with an EO during his presidency.

Project 2025 and Trump have no connection despite the left's attempt trying to
tie him to it.

This isn't true, there are lots of connections.

What isn't true is that Project 2025 is "Trumps' Agenda" or a plan developed by Trump, a position that some democrats have stated.
tt's not Trump's plan.

It's an agenda assembled from many conservative groups by/for the Heritage Foundation. The Heritage Foundation is very influential in GOP policy and their intent is to influence decision makers within the incoming Trump administration.
This is not new, it's been done previously.
The more Heritage Foundation/Project 2025 individuals that are hired into the Trump Administration, the more influential they can potentially be.
According to the Heritage Foundation, the previous Trump Administration adopted about two-thirds of their policy agenda.
It is policy proposals being "pitched" to the Trump Administration.

However, Project 2025 is 900 pages long. If you read it and disagree with it,
share what part you disagree with. I'd like to know.

I disagree with numerous proposals in Project 2025.

For one, if you are serious about discussing it, is the plan to reduce the number of federal tax brackets from the current seven to only two.
The tax brackets on lower income individuals and households (10% and 12% with extension into the next because of the progressive nature of taxes) would be replaced by a 15% tax bracket. Unabashedly raising taxes on those with the lowest incomes.
The top tax brackets, those with higher incomes, would also be eliminated (32%, 35% & 38%) and replaced with a 30% bracket.
Unabashedly lowering taxes on the wealthy. (page 696)

FYI, Project 2025 isn't law, just an ideology.

Agree, but the ideology is also the agenda of a very influential conservative organization.

 

[RDKirk]

Okay, so what's supposed to be done about it?

Ride the tiger.

 

[ozso]

Ride the tiger.

Is it okay if I wait until there's actually a tiger to ride?

 

[Landon Caeli]

Ride the tiger.

Trump says anyone who attempts it must then also ride the lightning. Sorry. I hear it stings.

 

[mourningdove~]

Project 2025 and Trump have no connection despite the left's attempt trying to
tie him to it.

I agree.

At the Project 2025 website, they debunk the lie that Project 2025 is Trump's plan:

You mean there are some things in Project 2025 that are in line with Trump? Gee that could be said for anyone, including some
democrats.

You disagree with reducing the number of tax brackets? WOW, who would be for reducing tax brackets? ME and
others who think we are overtaxed

So you prefer the ideology of the WOKE left? Transgender therapies for young girls, males going into the girls
shower-room and girls sports. Companies being given DEI ratings in order to get bank loans?
I'm against such and ideology and so are most Americans, which is why Trump won the electoral and
popular vote in the election.

the new Trump government.

The church age is ending and the Kingdom age is beginning. Jesus will rule and reign for 1,000 years.

• Premillennialism: This view holds that Christ will return before the Millennium, inaugurating His 1,000-year reign.
• Postmillennialism: This perspective suggests that Christ will return after the Millennium, a period of Christian prosperity and dominance.
• Amillennialism: This interpretation sees the return of Jesus as symbolic, representing the reign of Christ in the hearts of believers for 1,000-year period.

 

[Diamond72]

So you prefer the ideology of the WOKE left?

Woke has no ideology. At least nothing they can put into words. That is why it is a failed movement because no one can define it. At its core, being "woke" means being aware of and actively attentive to issues of social justice and inequality.

Woke has no ideology. At least nothing they can put into words. That is why it is a failed movement because no one can define it.

It does have ideology at its core, and that ideology was put into words by the Frankfurt Group back in the 1920s, calling it Critical Theory. This is openly taught in universities, it's no secret.

At its core, being "woke" means being aware of and actively attentive to issues of social justice and inequality.

That was the original meaning of "woke" as used by Marcus Garvey and W.E.B. DuBois a century ago. However, Left wingers under Critical Theory ideology appropriated the term, and it was from them that conservatives heard it.

Relationship to "Woke":​

• Awareness and Critique: The term "woke" originally comes from African American Vernacular English (AAVE) and means being aware of social and racial injustices. It has evolved to describe a heightened awareness of systemic inequalities and a commitment to addressing them2.
• Influence of Critical Theory: Critical Theory has influenced contemporary social justice movements, including those associated with "woke" culture. The ideas of Critical Theory have been adapted and popularized in modern discourse, emphasizing the need to challenge and dismantle oppressive systems1.

"Taking the knee" is often seen as an expression of being "woke" because it aligns with the principles of social justice and anti-racism.

My point is they do not know what they are talking about. Woke is going to fall apart because there is nothing to hold it together. I fully realize that these people have issues but with God's help they can work their way through it. He has a plan and a purpose for all of us.

Having an extra sex chromosome can indeed lead to various challenges and conditions. This occurs in about 1 in 500 to 1 in 1,000 people. Here are some examples:

Common Conditions:​

• Klinefelter Syndrome (47,XXY): This affects males who have an extra X chromosome. It can lead to symptoms like reduced testosterone levels, infertility, and learning difficulties.
• Triple X Syndrome (47,XXX): This affects females who have an extra X chromosome. Many with this condition have no symptoms, but some may experience developmental delays, learning disabilities, and taller stature.
• XYY Syndrome (47,XYY): This affects males who have an extra Y chromosome. It can be associated with taller height, learning difficulties, and sometimes behavioral issues.

Impact:​

• Developmental and Learning Challenges: Individuals with these conditions may face developmental delays and learning disabilities, which can affect their educational and social experiences.
• Physical Health: There can be physical health implications, such as hormonal imbalances and fertility issues.
• Psychological Effects: The presence of an extra sex chromosome can also lead to psychological challenges, including anxiety and depression.

Understanding these conditions helps in providing appropriate support and interventions to those affected. The discussion about extra sex chromosomes and the challenges they can cause is related to the broader themes of the "woke" movement, which includes awareness and advocacy for social justice, equality, and the rights of marginalized groups.

Brendan Carr, who wrote a chapter on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
Brendan Carr, who has been nominated by Donald Trump to lead the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), wrote a chapter on the FCC in the Heritage Foundation's Project 20252. In his chapter, Carr outlines several key priorities for the FCC:

• Reining in Big Tech: Carr argues that large technology companies like Meta (Facebook) and Alphabet (Google) use content moderation techniques that unfairly censor conservative voices. He proposes eliminating some of the immunities tech companies currently have under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act and increasing transparency in their content moderation processes2.
• National Security: Carr takes a hard stance against Chinese tech companies, advocating for measures like banning TikTok and increasing federal funding to replace network infrastructure containing insecure Chinese technology2.
• Promoting Innovation: He supports modernizing regulations to allow the private sector to develop network infrastructure more efficiently, highlighting technologies like Elon Musk's Starlink satellite internet2.

Carr's views reflect a broader agenda to reshape the FCC's approach to regulation and oversight, particularly concerning Big Tech and national security.

I think we should clean the internet up. Get rid of a lot of the filthy disgusting porn and promoting the liberal agenda while they censor conservatives. There is a mess to clean up and we can hope that Trump and his people are able to get the job done. A lot of clutter needs to be thrown away. At least that is what my wife keeps telling me But they think our clutter needs to be disposed of and we think their clutter neds to be put on the curb.

 

[FenderTL5]

You mean there are some things in Project 2025 that are in line with Trump?

There's that, but there's a lot more that the Heritage Foundation/Project 2025 and Trump share.
For example, well over 100 (in the 140s iirc) of the authors and contributors of Project 2025 were part of Trump's previous adminstration. He's named several Project 2025 participants, already, into his cabinet for the upcoming adminstration. The week that the Heritage Foundation launched Project 2025, Donald J Trump was there, with them, and gave an address/speech. The transript and video of that speech can be found right here.
The idea that Trump "doesn't know who they are or anything about it.." is either a lie or he has dementia of greater proportion than Biden.

You disagree with reducing the number of tax brackets?

When they raise taxes on the poor to benefit the rich, you betcha'.

WOW, who would be for reducing tax brackets? ME and
others who think we are overtaxed

If you favor oppressing the poor to further enrich the wealthy then we have differing values on taxation.

So you prefer the ideology of the WOKE left? Transgender therapies for young girls, males going into the girls
shower-room and girls sports. Companies being given DEI ratings in order to get bank loans?
I'm against such and ideology and so are most Americans, which is why Trump won the electoral and
popular vote in the election.

I prefer being awake to sleep-walking through an existance.
You don't have to speculate, I placed my political affiliation under my avatar. Here's a link. With that said, I'm opposed to the divisivness, anger, and hate that isTrumpism. I oppose trickle-down, horse and sparrow, supply-side, voodoo, Milton Friedman neo-liberal economic policy with a passion. I'm a former registered republican who woke up, realizing that the GOP is not conservative.
imho, Trump won because most Americans have short memories and forgot why they fired him the first time. ymmv

First off, they're not advocating raising taxes for the poor, but having the same tax rate for all. The poor don't create jobs
only people with money to invest do.

Oppression of the poor has more to do with the breakdown of the family and refusing to take
responsibility for oneself. Yes, the poor will always be with us, and we need to help where we can
without taking from good earners and giving their earnings away. Charity needs to be voluntary first,
then government policy.

BTW, did you know that the current rate of poverty in the world is currently 10%? This is the lowest
its ever been in the history of the world.

It doesn't mean we should do nothing, but being unjust to one group doesn't bring justice to another.
