Project 2025 is more than just the “Mandate for Leadership” playbook. It’s also a comprehensive, searchable personnel database of all the most extreme right-wing fascist ghouls who are totally on board with all the stuff in Mandate for Leadership who they will cram into the judiciary at all levels, every agency they don’t destroy, and all other appointed gov’t positions. It took a lot of work and required people to build and maintain it. It didn’t happen in 2017 because it didn’t exist yet.
Trump doesn’t have to be the one to implement it. It could be any Republican politician. Once it is implemented, executive power will be expanded massively, the courts will be fully captured, all important gov’t agencies will be under direct executive branch control, etc, etc. Full fascist state in 180 days.
executive power will be expanded massively
This part is odd to mention since every single president has expanded the power of the presidency
Full fascist state in 180 days.
bad news, we’re already a full fascist state
as bad as the US is, we are far from as bad as we could ever get, and project 2025 is a clearly stated intention to take one of the single biggest steps towards “as bad as we could ever get” in US history

Project 2025 is ultimately bipartisan and the Dems will happily do it themselves.
Yeah, but like expanded all the way. Full executive control of all agencies (including FBI and CIA and state department) and also (essentially) the judiciary.
Not as fascist as it could be.
Dang it’s a shame there isn’t someone in the white house who might be able to do something preventative to stop this boogeyman
executive power will be expanded massively
I don’t think there’s any expansion of power left. The POTUS can legally kill anyone he wants now for any reason.
the courts will be fully captured
the courts are already fully captured.
all important gov’t agencies will be under direct executive branch control
They already are. That’s what the executive is.
We’re already there, it’s just that no one has really flexed it in ways that most people can see or care about.
The supreme court just gave a democratic president the power to do whatever the fuck he wants. This demonstrates that the supporters of project 2025 consider democrats to be their allies rather than their enemies. The democrats have used this newfound power to continue to do absolutely nothing to stop their supposed enemies.
If you want to stop project 2025, supporting democrats has proven to be the wrong approach
They have, and they haven’t. Intentionally. Basically, they defined what counts as Official acts but not Unofficial acts. POTUS only has immunity for official acts.
So, say Biden drone strikes Trump and claims immunity for protecting the constitution or whatever. He immediately gets taken to court for murder, sedition, etc. The DC district court finds “yep he’s immune alright”. The ruling will get brought before the Supreme Court at which point they’ll say “oh actually, the president is immune from everything except drone striking political rivals - obviously the FoUnDiNg fAtHeRs wanted the president to be able to do anything EXCEPT drone strike white people. Biden, you’re guilty of murder and sedition now and will be summarily executed”.
Then what. Civil war, I guess? All the “moderates” and “undecided” voters would make up their minds pretty quick and vote in whatever ghoul republicans put on the ticket. They’d probably use Biden’s action as pretext to crack down on all ideologies left of fascism. Say “trans ideology” is to blame and use the FBI and CIA (which they’ll then have complete control over) to imprison LGBT people en masse, then academics, political rivals, “the communists, Marxists, fascists, and the radical left thugs that live like vermin within the confines of our country” as Trump said, etc.
Who knows what would happen, because the entire political landscape would radically change and SCOTUS would never give Biden immunity to do jack shit - they left the ruling sufficiently detailed to stop all prosecution of Trump and grant him immunity for Jan 6, but sufficiently vague that as soon as Biden provides them ammo, they’ll immediately use it against the entire Dem establishment.
Trump doesn’t have to be the one to implement it. It could be any Republican politician.
Unless the Democrats basically ban the GOP from existing by purging them from political life, then Project $Year is inevitable because as you said, it could be any Republican politician. Or do you expect the Democrats to continuously control the White House?
