Project 2025 is the name of the Republican plan that is designed by the Heritage Foundation as the “road map” for their expected Trump administration.  Their recommended policies reflect Trump’s rally speeches and were written by Republicans who had worked in the Trump Administration.
The document is 900 pages long and cost $22 million to create and was likely supported by fossil fuel companies.  Some of the concepts are to put their own political appointees in charge of major scientific agencies and to eliminate renewable energy, climate technology, and energy technology research.  They would lift restrictions on fossil fuel development on public lands, while reducing protections for endangered species and requirements for environmental reviews.  
They would eliminate the EPA’s civil and criminal law enforcement office.  Abolish the Department of Education and the independent Federal Reserve.  The list goes on.
More importantly, Project 2025 proposes the entire federal government be placed under direct presidential control, otherwise known as “unitary executive theory.” They want to establish Trump as a dictator, without any checks or balances that, of course, eliminates any pretense of the United States remaining as democracy. Our Constitutional liberties will be sacrificed, and freedom of speech will be forfeited.  It is likely to be enforced by “his” army, as Trump referred to the U.S. army while he was president.  Moreover, he has indicated Americans will not have to vote in four years, implying that there is no need for voting under a dictator. 
Project 2025 is not just rhetoric. It is a reality check. This coming presidential election could be a tipping point for the U.S. survival as a voting democracy.
