There has been A LOT of talk about Project 2025, and for a good reason. It’s a 900-page playbook for destroying American democracy. If implemented, it will result in a white nationalist Christian takeover of our country. Thankfully, “Project 2025” is becoming synonymous with Donald Trump, JD Vance, and The Republican Party.
There is so much horrible stuff packed into the 900-page Project 2025 manifesto. Attacks on our Democracy, our economy, LGBTQ+ rights, abortion access, immigration, the climate, and so much more. Deciding where to start and what to focus on is hard, probably by design.
So, I’ve decided to break Project 2025 down into a series of posts that break down its impact on several key areas.
Project 2025: Trump’s Plan to Subvert Democracy
Project 2025’s Economic Impact
Project 2025’s Attack on Abortion
Project 2025’s Plan for Mass Deportations
Project 2025’s Attacks on LGBTQ+ Rights
Project 2025: Tump’s Plan to Subvert Democracy
Project 2025 outlines an authoritarian takeover of our federal government, attacking our system of checks and balances and placing the president as a central figure in power. Project 2025 would centralize all executive power in the hands of the president, including typically independent agencies like the Department of Justice.
Here are the ways that Trump’s Project 2025 plans to subvert Democracy:
The reclassification of civil service workers: This would allow President Trump to fire 70,000 federal civil service workers and replace them with presidential appointees loyal to Trump and not the Constitution.
Increased presidential control over the IRS: Project 2025 would increase the number of political appointees in the IRS and centralize it’s control under the president. This would allow the president to use the IRS to go after political opponents.
Restriction of civil liberties: Project 2025 includes proposals that would erode civil liberties. These include rolling back LGBTQ+ protections, restricting reproductive rights, and targeting immigrants, allowing for deportations without due process.
Weakening Independent Agencies: Project 2025 will eliminate or reduce the power of independent agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Education, and the Department of Justice. Weakening the independence of these agencies centralizes more power with Donald Trump, potentially allowing him control over federal elections.
The Bottom Line: Project 2025 is Donald Trump’s unconstitutional plan for subverting our democracy.

ProPublica’s Project 2025 Training Videos
ProPublica got their hands on some secret Project 2025 training videos. These videos lay out the whole plan. The “trainings” lay out plans for avoiding FOIA disclosures to ensuring conservative legislation isn’t shut down by “left-wing” judges.
These tapes prove that Trump’s Project 2025 isn’t an Ayn Rand cosplay fantasy. It’s a comprehensive plan to subvert our democracy, and if Trump returns to the White House, they are ready to implement it.
