Project 2025: An Agenda For a Conservative Revolution
However, another jaw-dropping element of this upcoming election is gaining less momentum in the midst of the rest of the election – and that’s Project 2025.
Written by conservatives with the intent to serve as a 180 day guideline for the next conservative president (potentially Donald Trump), Project 2025 delineates an extensive plan to overhaul the U.S. government and implement conservative and faith-based values nationwide.
👉 In this article, we’ll explain what Project 2025 is, what the effects of Project 2025 would be, and summarise the 922 page document.
What is Project 2025?
Drafted by the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 is a 922 page document which outlines the goals and promises for the first 180 days of a conservative presidency.
“ Project 2025 relies heavily on the Unitary Executive Theory – which is a component of the constitution that illustrates the need for all of us to abide by the president and the president only… otherwise known as a dictatorship. ”
Close
While Trump claimed to not know anything about Project 2025 in a recent campaign event in Michigan, if elected and inaugurated into office in 2025 – Trump is likely to use Project 2025 as a guideline. One of the main motifs of Project 2025 is that all efforts should support U.S. economic growth, and if it doesn’t – it should not be supported, and these ideals are in line with much of Trump’s values.
“ “This book, this agenda, the entire Project 2025 is a plan to unite the conservative movement and the American people against elite rule and woke culture warriors." – Authors of Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise. ”
👉 Overall, Project 2025 would change several constitutional elements that weave the fabric of the United States as a whole – making it imperative for everyone to understand the potential implications of Project 2025.
The 4 Promises of Project 2025
In addition to the five main sections of Project 2025, the Mandatefor Leadership: The Conservative Promise is built upon four main promises.
Promise 1: Restore family values and protect children
Conservatives don’t want children out of wedlock or unmarried mothers
Eliminate marriage penalties
Eradicate terms such as sexual orientation, gender identity, DEI
Prohibit protests for abortion, transgender, or white privilege
Promise 3: Seal the border and protect the nation
Sealing the border of the United States is essential to protect the nation
A TikTok ban will help to protect children and United States citizens from China
Ceasing all economic activity with China will help the United States to reclaim its economic supremacy
Promise 4: Enjoy the blessings of liberty
Spirituality is the most important and fulfilling form of happiness
Re-instill the requirement of Christian Faith into US policies
Project 2025 Broken Down Into 5 Sections
The 922 page document for Project 2025 is broken down into 5 different sections, each detailing different ways to make amendments to the current government protocols in the United States – including taking reins of the government, common defense, general welfare, the economy, and general welfare.
We’ve broken down the main points from each section of Project 2025 so you don’t have to read the entire document.
Section 1: Taking the Reins of the Government
This section of Project 2025 proposes changes to:
Chief of Staff
Deputy Chiefs of Staff
Principal Deputy Chiefs of Staff
Senior Advisors
Staff Secretary
Office of Communications
Office of Legislative Affairs
Office of Presidential Personnel
Office of Cabinet Affairs
Office of Public Liaison
Office of Intergovernmental Affairs
Office of the Vice President
Office of the First Lady or First Gentlemen
👉 Budget is a major concern in project 2025, and conservatives want to help the United States get out of 31 trillion dollar debt – demonstrating how both parties have a desire to avoid another debt ceiling for the country.
In regards to climate change, Section 1 of Project 2025 suggests the following amendments to government intervention for issues that pertain to global warming:
Environmental & National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA)
New regulations should be implemented to oversee NEPA processes
Next conservative president should issue changes to NEPA to streamline processes
Unified process for infrastructure projects to avoid needing approval from NEPA, the EPA, etc.
💡Section 1 of Project 2025 explains the different ways to readjust the current U.S. government to ensure that the president is granted more freedom for decision making and law passing.
Section 2: The Common Defense
Section 2 of Project 2025 wants to reform bureaucracy via the following steps and recommendations:
Improve the ability to “hire and fire” managers faster
Improve management for personnel and political appointees to address bureaucratic inefficiency
Align civil service benefits to market standards
Adjust current retirement benefits
💡 In addition to this, Section 2 of Project 2025 pontificates the importance of providing more to the “young and patriotic” Americans who have served the country – meaning that the current benefits need to be improved in order to thank them for their service.
“ “Military service is the most difficult task we ask of our citizens, and our nation is enormously blessed that so many young, patriotic Americans eagerly volunteer to carry such a heavy burden. We owe them everything, and we must do better.” – Authors of Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise ”
4 main principles for common defense
This will be done by abiding by 4 main priorities:
Priority #1: Reestablish a culture of command accountability – This refers to implementing a culture based on command accountability and on the importance to build our national defense system for future wars.
Priority #2: Transform our armed forces to be the best – In the midst of several nations trying to prove themselves as the most powerful nation in the world, making sure our defense system is top tier is pivotal.
Priority #3: Provide support to the Department of Homeland – Border protection is essential to improve our national security, meaning that all funding available to invest in this issue is imperative.
Priority #4: Financial transparency & accountability – The authors of Project 2025 want to
rebuild the arm and increase spending and budget if necessary – such as by increasing the Air Force budget by 5% each year and changing the U.S. missile defense policy. This will require honesty in how much is currently being invested into our military systems in order to allocate the appropriate amount of money moving forward.
Additional adjustments under Section 2 of Project 2025
Department of Homeland Security
TSA should become privatized
FEMA should be combed with the CISA
The secret should be divided into two parts
Despite having been created following the tragic events of 9/11, Project 2025 claims that our current budget for homeland security is bloated, bureaucratic, and too expensive – meaning that cuts should be made accordingly.
Elements to shift our focus on under Project 2025 would include:
Ensure a sealed border
Protecting political leaders
Prioritise economic zones
Safeguard transportation security
Eradicate T and U visas to prevent undocumented immigrants
Encourage ICE to take custody of all foreigners with DUIs, previous violence, or crime
Overall stronger emphasis on border control
Amendments to the Media
Project 2025 believes that our current media continues to perpetuate unrealistic images of what an ideal America should look like.
Adjustments to be made would include:
Revise intelligence to address threats to the US in cyberspace
Boosting the private sector
Improve journalist security by providing 700 million dollars a year for journalists both oversees and working from U.S. soil
Cut off budgeting for CPB (Corporation for Public Broadcasting)
Overall funding and possibly shutting down entire broadcasts that don’t address conservative POVs
👉 According to Project 2025, programs such as NPR “don’t even bother to run programming that would attract conservatives” and as their audiences are mostly liberals – and programs such as these should be taken off the air entirely.
Other elements discussed in Section 2 of Project 2025 include:
The need for holistic health care, and a strong emphasis against the term “abortion”, but avoiding child and women mortality as it is essentially a women’s duty to have babies and take care of them
Increase USAID collab with faith-based organisations
💡 Section 2 of Project 2025 focuses on working to eradicate DEI, gender equality to women, children, and families – essentially, an effort to return to “the old times”. In addition to this, Project 2025 seeks to eradicate “the gross misuse of foreign aid” that hinders US reputation in any way.
Section 3: General Welfare
Section 3 of Project 2025 discusses the changes to be made regarding women’s healthcare, DEI, and LGBTQ+ rights in addition to our current agricultural practices, energy ideologies, and funding for education systems.
Here is Section 3 of Project 2025 broken down into various parts:
Women’s Healthcare, DEI, and LGBTQ+
Abortion should not be considered a form of healthcare
Reverse Biden focus on LGBTQ+
Replace with marriage, worth, motherhood, fatherhood, families – essentially ensuring no children are had out of wedlock
Agriculture
Project 2025 wants to stop putting climate change ahead of agricultural needs, and instead remove obstacles that slow down the quantity of food production.
💡 In other words, the environment shouldn’t come before food production as a whole as financial gain is what should remain most important.
Recommendations and ideologies of this section of Project 2025 include:
Remove U.S. from UN guided principles for food production
Meeting food needs of Americans trumps the environment’s needs
Repeal ARC and PLC programs as funding farmers that lose crops from climate change is a waste of money as it depletes government funding
Reduce the subsidy rate for crop insurance
Education
Project 2025 wants to cut spending on K-12 education, and holds a general belief that Pell Grants, HEA, and ESEA have proved useless and a waste of money for the U.S. Government.
Recommendations and ideologies of this section of Project 2025 include:
Eliminate programs at OESE
Project 2025 wants to track exactly how many dollars are used in the classroom via a report
Remove trust in American Bar Association (ABA)
Remove PLUS loan program
End student loan forgiveness to “save taxpayers” $370 billion USD per year
Eliminate GEAR-UP
Employ a department of education reorganisation act to roll back: Preschool Grants for Children with Disabilities, Sex Ed Programs, and Charter School Grants
Energy
According to the ideals depicted in Project 2025, energy is essential to American quality of life (think A/C and comfort of the people over the planet).
Recommendations and ideologies of this section of Project 2025 include:
Extreme green policies should be eradicated
Promote energy economic opportunities above
Develop new nuclear reactors despite controversy over climate change impact
Use energy to assist allies and remain the most resourceful nation in the world
Focus natural gas and oil power grids and their current threats to protect its financial lucrative nature
Remove OECD and reduce efforts for carbon capture and storage and clean energy
Stop “climate reparations” and focus on energy production
Scale back EPA as it has costed jobs in the coal, oil and natural gas energy sector
Alter the department of labor, health and human services, transportation, veterans affairs, and urban development
💡Section 3 of Project 2025 focuses on shifting funding to more important aspects of our country to ensure we remain a top nation – but also means that essential funding such as the money currently allocated to education would be cut.
Section 4: The Economy
Section 4 of Project 2025 discusses ways in which the U.S. economy should be reformed, especially in order to avoid China from becoming the world’s most globally recognised economic powerhouse.
Here are some of the recommendations to alter the economy in Section 4 of Project 2025:
Stronger trade enforcement requirements especially with China
Use AI to avoid bad actors from infiltrating the trade system
Track or ban ads like WeChat and TikTok to disassociate from China
Destroy NOAA as it uses more than half (6.5 of 12 million USD) of budget
End NOS, OAR, NESDIS, NMFS, and NOAA Corps
Leverage technology, improve cyber security to improve financial management
Reverse “Equity” agenda for the sake of the economy
Abolish the EXIM Export Import Bank the US as it doesn’t create jobs or promote exports
Match up to China’s economic efforts
Remove the dual mandate for the Federal Reserve and
Refrain from paying interest on excess reserves
Adjust trade import and export rates to refrain the US from losing money on current trading relationships
Adjust the SBA (Small Business Association) to end direct lending, employ latest technology to avoid spending, and ensure they receive support from other sectors to avid government spending
💡This will be done by asking congress to approve of Section 7(a) loans to help facilities upgrade their equipment and creating a SMB fund to ensure credit is not depleted from other sources intended to help larger business and the US economy to flourish.
“ One of the main goals of Section 4 of Project 2025 is to ensure that China does not exceed the United States in terms of economic growth and development. ”
Under Project 2025, this will be accomplished by:
Prohibiting U.S.pension funds from Chinese stocks
Avoiding Hong Kong as a transit point for American capital
Banning Chinese social media apps such as TikTok to protect data
Providing tax incentives to American companies in hopes to persuade them to avoid onshore production in China
As a whole, Section 4 of Project 2025 operates on the belief that economic growth and technological advance will fight climate change, meaning that there is less need for climate-related financial risk concern.
👉 Overall, Section 4 pontificates how it is most important to ensure that China does not succeed in its quest for world domination – as the U.S. “owns” that title. Therefore, it is essential to provide overall tariff relief and to strengthen American manufacturing to ensure a robust economy under Project 2025.
Section 5: Independent Regulatory Agencies
Lastly, Section 5 of Project 2025 focuses on the amendments to be made to independent regulatory agencies such as SEC, FTCA, and the FEC.
Amendments to be made under Section 5 of Project 2025 to each regulatory agency include but are not limited to the following suggestions:
SEC
Adjusting the SEC and Congress for scaled disclosure requirements and to achieve other main goals effectively
Work against CCP goal to develop AI to decouple from Beijing and China
Boost our space programs to be number one
End superfluous broadband spending policies, where congress should hold agencies such as ARPA accountable
Promote economic prosperity
Vouching for FCC accountability & governance
👉 Overall, there should be stronger protections against young children on social media, especially by addressing TikTok’s threat to national security.
FTCA
Reform the Federal Election Commissions (FEC) and the Federal Trade Commission (FTCA) to revoke ESG requirements and social responsibility agendas that could hinder profits for US businesses
End ESG entirely as it acts as a cover up for unfair trade practices, and congress should monitor and manage ongoing ESG practices
Protect children online from social media such as by improving COPPA to ensure that children under the age of 13 stay offline (it currently fails to do this)
💡 Section 5 of Project 2025 seeks to make amendments to various independent regulatory agencies, including various media agencies, to limit free speech, independent thinking, and mitigate affiliations with China.
What are the key points to remember from Project 2025?
We understand that Project 2025 is overwhelming, so here are some of the main points to remember from Project 2025:
Key Takeaways from Project 2025
Eliminate the department of education for K-12 and make receiving a free or affordable education in the country virtually impossible
Implement a nationwide abortion ban
DEI, gender equality, and LGBTQ+ communities will be severely impacted and suppressed
Exploit natural resources for economic gain, such as in Alaska and even to capitalise on tourism in Antarctica
Laws will no longer need to go through congress and will be able to be passed through the president alone
The U.S. must stay “number 1” across all areas, and do everything in its power to ensure Chian doesn’t become the world’s greatest energy exporter or supplier
The main goal of Project 2025 is to help the next conservative administration achieve these goals and objectives within the first six months of holding office
👉 Essentially, Project 2025 is what christian nationalists want for the nation – otherwise referred to as christian nationalism. This would annihilate basic human rights, democracy, and the entire motto that the United States is built upon – hard work and freedom.
Close
How will U.S. citizens be affected if Project 2025 is implemented?
We are still a ways off from Project 2025 coming to fruition, but if it did – minorities, women, and people who consider themselves a part of the LGBTQ+ community would face serious consequences as a result of Project 2025.
This is because Project 2025 would reverse DEI policies, abortion rights, and general education on critical race theory and more – prohibiting these groups of people from being able to live freely in America.
👉 In a sense, Project 2025 is the first step to dismantling democracy in the United States – meaning that the country could shift to authoritarianism and even dictatorship if it were to be implemented.
Life in the United States would change as we know it, and the current divide between the country would never get the chance to be addressed if Project 2025 were to come to fruition – as people would have no choice but to abide by all rules and regulations implemented by the president.
As a whole, Project 2025 will weaken the middle class in the United States – making life for the majority of Americans of exceptionally difficult.
Overall, conservatives believe we need project 2025 as a plan to jumpstart economic recovery and prosperity in the country – to ensure we stay the number exporter, energy producer, and nation in the world. However, not everyone will be aligned with the goals and amendments depicted in Project 2025 – which is why it’s important to learn about the other candidates for the presidential 2024 election and stay informed in the midst of this historic election.
