Los Angeles, CA (The Hollywood Times) 2/21/25 – There’s a tension in the air, a sadness among those caught in the crosshairs of a shifting regime. We’ve seen what came before, and we know exactly what it’s capable of.
Enter Project 2025—a political initiative from the conservative think tank The Heritage Foundation that aims to reshape the U.S. federal government in a way that consolidates executive power and pushes a hard-right agenda.
Here’s the playbook:
The Mission: Dismantle what its architects see as an overgrown, left-leaning bureaucracy and replace it with a streamlined, conservative-driven system.
Key Moves:
- Mandate for Leadership – A detailed guidebook for restructuring federal agencies and enforcing conservative policies.
- Personnel Database – A roster of hand-picked loyalists ready to step into key government roles.
- Presidential Administration Academy – A training ground to prepare these recruits for high-level positions.
- First 180 Days Playbook – A rapid-fire strategy to implement sweeping changes in the first six months of a new administration.
The Controversy:
Critics warn that Project 2025 leans dangerously into authoritarianism and Christian nationalism, potentially undermining democracy, civil liberties, and the separation of powers. They fear it’s a blueprint for an autocratic takeover.
Ties to Trump:
Though not officially his campaign’s initiative, Project 2025 has deep connections to Donald Trump, with many contributors and Heritage Foundation figures linked to his past administration and 2024 campaign.
Love it or fear it, Project 2025 is more than just a political wishlist—it’s a battle plan. And if it succeeds, America’s future could look very different.
