Throughout the 2024 presidential election season, breaking news continues to drop one day after the other – such as Trump’s attempted assassination and Kamala Harris running for the Democratic nomination after Joe Biden dropped out of the race.
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.
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.
💡The Heritage Fund has denied climate change for decades, and was even a member of Cooler Heads Coalition (CHC) – which remains as the longest standing association against the notion of climate change.
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.
👉 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.
As stated at the start of the 922 page document, the next acting Republican president is meant to employ Project 2025 at the beginning of their next term – meaning Trump would be obliged to implement the protocols depicted in Project 2025 starting in January.
Throughout the campaign, Trump denied having anything to do with Project 2025 – and even said in the presidential debate with Kamala Harris that he would not sign a national abortion act into law. However, ironically, his Vice President-elect, J.D. Vance – wrote the forward for Project 2025.
Women across the country are making an effort to rebel against the imminent Project 2025, with the 4B movement previously used in South Korea sweeping across Tik Tok and Twitter – as minorities in the country fear that Project 2025 will strip them of their bodily rights.
👉 Ultimately, now that J.D. Vance and Trump have been elected – it is highly probable that they will hire their presidential staff to help them achieve the goals and actions written in Project 2025.
In addition to the five main sections of Project 2025, the Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise is built upon four main promises.
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.
This section of Project 2025 proposes changes to:
👉 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:
💡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 of Project 2025 wants to reform bureaucracy via the following steps and recommendations:
💡 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.
This will be done by abiding by 4 main priorities:
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.
Elements to shift our focus on under Project 2025 would include:
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:
👉 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:
💡 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 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:
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:
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:
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:
💡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 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:
💡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.
Under Project 2025, this will be accomplished by:
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.
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:
👉 Overall, there should be stronger protections against young children on social media, especially by addressing TikTok’s threat to national security.
💡 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.
We understand that Project 2025 is overwhelming, so here are some of the main points to remember from Project 2025:
👉 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.
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.
