As of February 12, 2025, CFPOTUS47 Donald Trump, our convicted felon's administration has actively implemented several components of Project 2025, a conservative policy blueprint developed by the Heritage Foundation. Despite initially distancing himself from the project during his campaign, many of Trump's early executive actions and appointments align closely with its proposals.
It's how facsim works. We need an orientation based on information, knowledge and experts, not popularism, ignorance and disinformation.
There's little basis in popularist fantasies for common ground.
MaGA ("Make america Great Again" lowercase "a" due to their disrespect for America and actions against) is a political movement and slogan popularized by Donald Trump during his 2016 presidential campaign. While rooted in nationalist and populist rhetoric, its practical impact has been the erosion of democratic norms, the elevation of oligarchic power, and an increasing alignment with authoritarian governance.
MaGA promotes economic protectionism, nationalism, and opposition to perceived "deep state" institutions, often targeting the press, the judiciary, and the federal bureaucracy. It has fostered a political environment in which figures like Elon Musk, an unelected billionaire with vast business interests, play a significant role in dismantling regulatory agencies and government oversight. Trump's repeated challenges to democratic institutions—including two impeachments, an attempt to overturn the 2020 election, and his role in the January 6 insurrection—have made the movement a case study in democratic backsliding.
Despite being a convicted felon and facing numerous legal challenges, Trump was re-elected in 2024, solidifying MaGA as a movement that prioritizes loyalty to its leader over institutional stability. His admiration for authoritarian figures, particularly Vladimir Putin, and his policies that weaken U.S. alliances signal a shift toward a more oligarchic and illiberal form of governance.
While supporters see MaGA as a push against globalism and political elites, its trajectory mirrors historical movements that have led democratic nations into authoritarian rule. The future of American democracy may depend on how effectively its institutions can resist these pressures.
[Author's note: I don't hate Trump (or anyone, I'm not a child), I'm not a "never Trumper", and I don't have TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome, a condition only his MaGAFooled can acquire...people who are American citizens, not stupid, but conned, deluded, essentially...brainwashed). But I AM American. I do not support dismantling our Government (fixing parts of it? Sure.).
I also do not support authoritarianism, criminality in public office, or deluding citizens for personal power and wealth such as Donald Trump, Convicted fElon POTUS47, has done all his life.]
Now, what's that MaGA leader doing?
Key Implementations:
Executive Actions: Approximately two-thirds of President Trump's executive orders reflect recommendations from Project 2025. These include directives on deregulation, immigration reform, and government restructuring. Notably, actions such as deploying the National Guard to the southern border and suspending the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program align with the project's goals.
Appointments: The administration has appointed several architects of Project 2025 to prominent positions. Russell Vought, a key contributor to the project, has been confirmed as the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. Brendan Carr, who authored the project's chapter on the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), has been nominated to lead the FCC. Tom Homan, another contributor, has been appointed as the "border czar."
Policy Changes: The administration has enacted policies that mirror Project 2025's recommendations, including:
Energy: Reopening large areas of Alaska, including the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, to oil drilling.
Education: Diverting funding from public schools to private school vouchers.
Foreign Aid: Implementing a freeze on new foreign aid for 90 days and issuing stop-work orders for existing aid programs.
Federal Workforce: Reinstating policies to reclassify federal positions, making it easier to replace civil servants with individuals aligned with the administration's agenda.
These actions indicate a significant alignment between the Trump administration's initiatives and the objectives outlined in Project 2025. The administration's swift implementation of these policies underscores its commitment to reshaping federal governance in accordance with the project's conservative vision.
