Over the past few months, a lot of ink has been spilled and words spoken about Project 2025 and former President Donald Trump’s support for it. Almost all of what’s been written and said have been lies from biased writers and pundits.
Commentators have alternately, and sometimes in the same story, called it “fascist,” anti-democratic,” a plan to “destroy the U.S. system of checks and balances,” and perhaps cringiest of all, “a Christo-Fascist plan to create a theocracy.”
In actuality, Project 2025 is none of these things, except in the unhinged minds of the labelers. In fact, it is the very opposite.
Project 2025 strongly supports the checks and balances in the Constitution, which have been significantly reduced since it was written. Contrary to the claim commonly made by Project 2025’s detractors and defenders alike, the United States is not a democracy; it is a constitutional republic with limited democratic elements. Project 2025 defends the constraints placed on the federal government enshrined in the Constitution, restraints placed upon both presidential (executive) authority and democratic majority rule, which in contrast to the world we live in today have virtually unlimited and unchecked power into the very recesses of individual’s lives.
Project 2025 recognizes that the federal government, as designed by the Founders, has limited powers, with most power and decision making explicitly reserved to the states and the people therein. Our Founders were all about individual freedom and responsibility and self-rule, not rule by demagogues in the guise of democratic populists or paternalistic father/mother figures.

It doesn’t, but haven’t all the candidates trashed it?
Stop beating a dead horse... Its over... Get over it.
It’s over as far as the campaign was concerned, but if Trump wins, which actually looks likely at the moment, a lot of what was promoted in this could still be implemented. And there’s plenty that looks fine to me.
The layers of deceit from the Democrats on Project 2025 surpasses anything I have seen recently. Start by misrepresenting the recommendations of the study. Then falsely attribute both the misrepresentations and the actual study to Donald Trump.
Any President should at least be open to discussing these issues. Clearly, the tiny minds of the Democrats are closed to any real policy discussions.
Yes I’m about 1/2 the way through and it’s very practical and full of great ideas.
The Dems sized upon it as an opp to smear the right.
