The listed excerpts are actually quite tame compared to what the actual plan is.

slashing U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) funding, dismantling the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security

invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 to deploy the military for domestic law enforcement and directing the DOJ to pursue Trump adversaries

create a federally funded "American Academy" that would deliver online courses and grant free degrees that excluded "wokeness or jihadism". The plan would also be funded by taxing the endowments of major universities

every state report exactly how many abortions take place within its borders, at what gestational age of the child, for what reason, the mother's state of residence, and by what method

I stopped looking, not because there was any shortage of further crazy shit. There’s plenty more.

I'm interested, but can someone provide more context? What is this document, who wrote it, who is actually pushing it, etc.

Like if you went to the RNC and a presenter said "here's the plan" and everyone in the room erupted in applause that's one thing, but if one crazy person wrote this up wearing a tin foil Nazi maga hat and said "LISTEN THIS IS THE PLAN" to himself and posted it on Twitter then that's a whole different deal.

It is not enough for conservatives to win elections. If we are going to rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left, we need both a governing agenda and the right people in place, ready to carry this agenda out on day one of the next conservative administration. 

This is the goal of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. The project will build on four pillars that will, collectively, pave the way for an effective conservative administration: a policy agenda, personnel, training, and a 180-day playbook.

The project is the effort of a broad coalition of conservative organizations that have come together to ensure a successful administration begins in January 2025. With the right conservative policy recommendations and properly vetted and trained personnel to implement them, we will take back our government.

The 2025 Presidential Transition Project is being organized by The Heritage Foundation and builds off Heritage’s longstanding “Mandate for Leadership,” which has been highly influential for presidential administrations since the Reagan era. Most recently, the Trump administration relied heavily on Heritage’s “Mandate” for policy guidance, embracing nearly two-thirds of Heritage’s proposals within just one year in office.

Paul Dans, former chief of staff at the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) during the Trump administration, serves as the director of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. Spencer Chretien, former special assistant to the president and associate director of Presidential Personnel, serves as associate director of the project.

It's every right wing "think tank" at work and combining forces into fascist-voltron. The Discovery Institute, the Eagle Forum, the Heartland Institute, the Heritage Foundation, Moms For Liberty, Pro-Life America, Turning Point USA and many others. It's basically the playbook for the next conservative government.

The Heritage Foundation is once again facilitating this work, but as our dozens of partners and hundreds of authors will attest, this book is the work of the entire conservative movement.  

In his last term Trump enacted or tried to enact two thirds of the policy recommendations of the last Heritage Foundation Playbook.

Analysis completed by Heritage determined that 64 percent of the policy prescriptions were included in Trump’s budget, implemented through regulatory guidance, or under consideration for action in accordance with The Heritage Foundation’s original proposals.

Number two seems good. The fbi shouldn’t be conducting illegal investigations. The reasons they want it are not the same reasons I want it, but a stopped clock yadda yadda.

[–] jballs@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

Unfortunately their definition of an "illegal investigation" is as well defined as their definition of "woke". It just means anything that they don't like and can flexibly be applied to who is doing the action.

Republicans are going to steal the 2024 elections.

Is this project 2025? Like policies for the voter minorities that mentally liven in the 1950s.

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Nah, they wanna take us even farther back to the likes of the Spanish Inquisition.

[–] blackbelt352@lemmy.world 0 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The Spanish Inquisition is too Catholic and Papist for the fundamentalist Protestant nutjobs here in the states.

[–] Theprogressivist@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

Now, the question is, which is the "right" type of Protestant?

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk -2 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Top one is kinda based tbh

[–] PhlubbaDubba@lemm.ee 1 points 6 months ago

Not even remotely, sex work is still work and trying to abolish it just marginalizes people into perilous compromising positions

[–] thecam@lemmy.world -3 points 3 months ago

It is based. However I don't know if banning porn will work.
