Project 2025

A secure, hidden community. Self-sustaining with homes, farms, medical specialists and equipment, and amenities to make life livable.

Overview

Project 2025 is a vision for the future produced by the Heritage Foundation, written by Trump allies and former employees. It lays out eliminating the "deep state," career civil servants with union protections and replacing them with lackies who will implement Trump's vision without argument. In this administration there will be no guardrails at any level of the government.

We are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless ― if the left allows it to be.

Kevin Roberts, President of the Heritage Foundation

The Deep State... Softening the Ground

Civil servants implement the law. They are hired and cannot be fired by the next administration for political reasons. They acquire decades of experience and skill. They don't blindly follow orders. They tell a president, you can't. Step 1 of Project 2025 is to remove these heroes. They'll be able to push out radical idiocy with unprecedented speed and no opposition. That's why people who share their "vision" can apply on the web site for the project. It's the personnel database. They're recruiting.

Instead of protecting women’s and children’s unalienable human rights and propelling their ability to thrive in society, past Democrat Administrations have nearly erased what females are and what femininity is through ‘gender’ policies and practices. … As evidenced by the confirmation testimony of now-Associate Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the progressive Left has so misused and altered the definition of what a ‘woman’ is that one of our U.S. Supreme Court Justices was unable to delineate clearly the fundamental biological and sexual traits that define the group of which she is a part.

There is never any justification for ending a child’s life as part of research, and the research benefits from splicing or growing aborted fetal cells and aborted baby body parts can easily be provided by alternative sources.

Scope of their Vision

The scope of their vision for remaking the federal government is breathtaking and horrifying, spanning agencies, departments, the Executive Office of the President, and regulatory bodies.

White House Office

Project 2025 will centralize power within the White House Office, undermining the checks and balances essential to democracy and leading to an opaque administration where critical decisions are made behind closed doors.
