I’ve asked many folks over the past two years if they had ever heard of Project 2025. Without exception, none had. A few were interested in learning more and we’ve continued the dialogue. Most folk fell into the categories of too busy to think outside of their day to day activities, or CFFG is their choice for a myriad of reasons.
It’s not clear how to close such a wide information gap in the time remaining.
My concern is that we (me) in Substack, in our own echo chamber. While I am glad to be well informed my reach is limited. I feel that it’s critical to invest in mass media, in all venues, TikTok, billboards, TV, podcasters, street pamphlets etc with huge warnings and info on the reality that’s arrived. We need to be ageless in venues but I feel we need to be Especially vigilant in the venues of the young voters. They have no idea what they are about to lose.
**Project 2025: Potential Negative Impacts and Hidden Agendas**
Full disclosure the below summary was assisted by ChatGPT 4.0 with my providing sourcing material about Project 2025 and then framing the question summarize as basically what is the Goal of and hidden agendas of Project 2025.
**Negative Impact on Democracy and the Constitution:**
1. **Consolidation of Executive Power**: Project 2025 aims to increase presidential control over the executive branch by reclassifying federal civil service workers as political appointees, allowing a future administration to replace them with loyalists. This could undermine the independence of the federal bureaucracy and the principle of checks and balances.
2. **Dismantling the Administrative State**: The plan includes proposals to dismantle various federal agencies, including the Department of Education and the Environmental Protection Agency, significantly reducing their regulatory capabilities. This would shift significant power away from the federal government to the executive branch and private sector.
3. **Undermining Civil Rights and Liberties**: The project seeks to roll back decades of progress in civil rights, including LGBTQ+ protections, reproductive rights, and anti-discrimination measures. This could lead to increased discrimination and reduced protections for vulnerable populations.
4. **Christian Nationalism**: Critics argue that Project 2025 promotes a vision of America rooted in Christian nationalism, seeking to infuse government and society with Christian values. This could challenge the constitutional principle of separation of church and state.
5. **Economic Inequality**: By proposing cuts to social safety net programs like Medicare, Medicaid, and food assistance, Project 2025 could exacerbate economic inequality and make it harder for low-income Americans to access essential services.
**Agenda and Hidden Motives:**
1. **Privatization and Deregulation**: Project 2025 aims to privatize and deregulate many sectors, including education, healthcare, and environmental protection. This aligns with a broader conservative agenda to reduce government intervention and promote free-market principles.
2. **Anti-Abortion and Anti-Contraception Policies**: The project seeks to eliminate federal support for abortion and contraception, reinstating the Comstock Act to ban mail-order abortions and defunding Planned Parenthood. These measures reflect a broader agenda to restrict reproductive rights.
3. **Climate Change Denial**: By proposing cuts to climate research funding and rolling back environmental regulations, Project 2025 aligns with fossil fuel interests and undermines efforts to combat climate change.
4. **Restructuring Social Programs**: The plan advocates for restructuring social programs to promote conservative family values, including cutting funding for programs that support single parents and reducing access to contraception and abortion services.
5. **Economic Policy Shifts**: The project includes proposals for tax cuts and reduced government spending, particularly on social programs, which could lead to greater economic inequality and reduced support for low-income individuals and families.
Overall, Project 2025 represents a comprehensive plan to reshape American government and society along ultra-conservative lines, with significant implications for democracy, civil rights, and the constitution.
Excellent! Thank you.
Thank you for organizing this. Very helpful!
Thank you.

I hear that!
What a service you have provided.
I feel like a Jew in Weimar Germany- beyond concerned.
Excellent resources. Thank you.

Thank you. I’m going to take these slowly. I’m terrified enough after reading about half of the publication itself.
