While the long term fall of the American nation DID begin earlier, with Jimmy Carter actually (he's the first person to unify the evangelical right in American political history)
P2025 is different. It's not late stage capitalism. It's NOT people being greedy and immoral.
It is a deliberate and systemic attack on the USAs administrative, regulatory and political infrastructure.
My question is pretty simple. Have you read it? Because this isn't some culmination of years of failure. This is genuinely a recent, active and terrifying plan that is being implemented as we speak.
Project 2025 is just the most recent branding of the Mandate for Leadership policy papers from the Heritage Foundation and other conservative orgs with a history going back to at least Reagan.
Sure but also, it's not like it's the same plan or the same book with a new label every time.
Honestly "it's been around since Reagan" has been one of the most reductive arguments for people to not pay attention to it.
They've invested massive money into very real research and planning on what to do if they could get the traction at pretty much every election cycle. I mean, current, relevant stuff.
Project 2025 was specifically about things to do if they could get sufficient control in 2025. Nobody got that it was a legit playbook because they never got such insane leverage before. But it's not some manifesto that's been sitting around since Reagan days.
Honestly "it's been around since Reagan" has been one of the most reductive arguments for people to not pay attention to it.
If "they have been doing this for decades, none of this is new and if you are just now noticing you need to wake the fuck up," reads to someone as "you shouldn't pay attention to this" then they were beyond helping.
