In case you haven’t heard, Project 2025 is an alarming far-right plan that lays out what convicted felon and former reality TV host Donald Trump may do if reelected in November’s presidential race.
Project 2025 includes plans to eliminate the federal Department of Education, ban abortion drugs nationwide, limit birth control, use the US military as civilian law enforcement, roll back civil rights for the LGBTQ+ community, cut diversity and inclusion programs in government, and much, much more.
It’s important to note that while Project 2025 isn’t Trump’s official platform (his website points to Agenda 47 instead), some authors of the plan served in his previous administration and/or are under consideration for posts should he be reelected.
Among others, Democratic Lawmaker Jasmine Crockett has loudly criticized the plan, calling it a “playbook for authoritarianism.”
While Democrats are scrambling after President Biden’s disappointing debate performance and a shocking Supreme Court ruling that grants the president king-like immunity, the people behind Project 2025 are making their intentions for the future under a conservative president unmistakably clear.
Kevin D. Roberts, president of the Heritage Foundation, appeared on The War Room Tuesday to discuss the recent Supreme Court decision around presidential immunity. Concerning the decision, Roberts said, “We’re in the process of a second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”
In the clip, Roberts also reassured conservatives, saying, “In spite of all this nonsense from the left, we are going to win. We’re in the process of taking this country back. No one in the audience should be despairing. No one should be discouraged. We ought to be really encouraged by what happened yesterday.”
In response, people are sharing how they interpret these ominous remarks:
“…we are in the process of the second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.” In other words, “The left must not dare protest, or we will make our ‘revolution’ bloody and blame the left for it.”
And many are shocked that he really just said that out loud in public:
We are living in a full “mask off” moment right now
People are also sharing reminders of everything that’s at stake in the upcoming election:
Their idea of a “Second American Revolution” is to destroy democracy, strip women, POC, and LGBTQ+ people of our rights, make it impossible to stop polluters and save our planet, and enshrine unaccountable white male rule into law.Don’t let these bastards destroy it all.
And people are saying this is why it’s so, so important to vote this year:
“Bloodless coup if the left allows it to be”Read these words very carefully and then decide what kind of system you want this November.
Others called out the media for paying scant attention to the right and instead focusing on the turmoil within the Democratic party that’s been unfolding ever since last week’s debate:
Trump, Bannon, Heritage Foundation: we’re going to turn America into a theocracy, we’re hoping it’ll be bloodless, buts that up to the left. Oh, and Trump is fully on board with Project 2025American media: BIDEN TAKES NAPS!!
We really should all be talking about this:
I’m not going to apologize for making the obvious analogy: if a Democrat explicitly threatened political violence like this, it be treated like the biggest scandal of the year, and every single member of the party would be required to denounce the offending individual
Biden campaign spokesman James Singer also responded to the remarks, saying, “America declared independence from a tyrannical king, and now Donald Trump and his allies want to make him one at our expense. On Jan. 6, they proudly stormed our Capitol to overturn an election Donald Trump lost fair and square — something not even the Confederacy was able to accomplish — now they are dreaming of a violent revolution to destroy the very idea of America.”
