It's hard to pick a worst bit - but let's not forget about attacking the electoral system, dismantling education and every fucking other thing.

As a transgender immigrant, it's really hard to decide which part I hate more
I'm gonna vote for the party that doesn't want to put me in a cage/camp. But my parents still aren't convinced.
I always choose, "they want to get rid of porn."
The most selfish assholes I know might not care about the 99% of the list, but they won't tolerate a disruption in porn.
And allow children to work dangerous jobs if their patterns sign consent.
Trans person here. I'd like to continue being myself without fear of medical erasure or being murdered for funzies because my eyeliner made a conservative person afraid.
Then you might want to contact your house reps and senators and have them oppose the BIPARTISAN KOSA bill. Just because Democrats talk about being an ally their actions say something completely different.
Books like 1984, and the Handmaid's Tale weren't supposed to be guides, but cautionary tales.
JD Vance wants to use the levers of the federal government to compel people to have children. How libertarian!
The headline is false. There are authors of 2025 that may want to ban IVF and the like, but they did NOT put that into the text. Surrogacy is questionable. Given that it states that human life begins at conception, its call for ending 'abortion drugs' can immediately be presumed to include typical contraceptive pills (but probably not condoms).
PolitiFact did not find any mention of IVF throughout the document, or specific recommendations to curtail the practice in the U.S. The manual doesn’t outright call for restricting standard contraceptive methods, such as birth control pills or intrauterine devices, known as IUDs. Project 2025 pointed out the same.
However, it does recommend restricting some emergency contraceptives from certain no-cost insurance coverage.
Project 2025 DOES have this worrying language:
p. 450
From the moment of conception, every human being possesses inherent dignity and worth, and our humanity does not depend on our age, stage of development, race, or abilities. The Secretary must ensure that all HHS programs and activities are rooted in a deep respect for innocent human life from day one until natural death: Abortion and euthanasia are not health care.
p. 451
Unfortunately, family policies and programs under President Biden’s HHS are fraught with agenda items focusing on “LGBTQ+ equity,” subsidizing single-motherhood, disincentivizing work, and penalizing marriage. These policies should be repealed and replaced by policies that support the formation of stable, married, nuclear families.
p. 457
Abortion Pills. Abortion pills pose the single greatest threat to unborn children in a post-Roe world.
It then goes on to detail how to end abortion pills. While the document specifically mentions mifepristone and misoprostol, the early language about life beginning at conception, it is not unreasonable to presume the practical end point might be ending birth control as well.
No surrogacy? They clearly need to read their blueprint (The Handmaid's Tale) again.
