I would imagine Project 2025 is a good source here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025 Every American owes it to themselves to familiarize themselves with the project and its aims, because a number of its authors are the ones wielding power right now.

The chapter about education is a great read.

It's insane to me how many people argued with me that Project 2025 was democrat propaganda to smear Trump. Both online here on Hacker News and in person.

  The thing is, people are expecting that campaign promises are pointless blathering. That's what led many people to believe it will be just the same this time.

    No, they were arguing these things are so obviously bad and wrong, Trump would never actually do these and these aren't his platform. They're just conspiracy theories by Democrats to slander Trump. So many people and news orgs kept repeating Trump's lies about how he doesn't know anything about Project 2025 and its totally unrelated to what he wants to do. Some examples on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41505433 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41505433 > It’s “real” in the same way as Steele Dossier was real. > As far as I can tell it’s just a smear device along the lines of “when did you stop beating your wife”, or fake “dossier”, or “Russian collusion” And even if you were dumb enough to think "this is just puffery, he wouldn't do things this terrible", why are you voting for the guy arguing he's going to do terrible things?!

    No, this happens all too often and was successful too many times to bee random. Moderate republicans used this as a tactic for decades. They always claim the thing that is happening is not happening, they always claim that opposition is paranoid. This is just people who want republicans to win and either support the project or who do not care about whatever one way or the other protecting the party.

Here's a dashboard. https://www.project2025.observer/ https://www.project2025.observer/ Not a substitute for reading the doc but good for a quick overview.

  Once I stated reading that dashboard (a couple of weeks ago) I could not stop. It's a real page turner. My favourite moment (spoiler): > Abolish the Federal Reserve and move to a "free banking" system. Don't let that reveal dint your interest. In the Handmaids Tale such a long list of horrors would have bored the reader, but in the Administrations blueprint for the USA that already has 41% of the items off in just 100 days it's riveting reading. I can resist pointing out another highlight for me: > Lessen child labor regulations to allow "teenage workers" to work "inherently dangerous jobs". In sure Project 2025 is sustained to become a true classic.
