Project 2025 is a far-right plan to replace federal employees with MAGA loyalists whose loyalty solely is to Trump, so he can be a dictator. Fronted by the once vaguely sane Heritage Foundation, its funding is quite obscure. Their goal is to destroy and dismantle the federal government as we know it and replace it with Christianist lackeys.
Among Project 2025 goals are:
Deconstruct and destroy the federal government. There would be no independent agencies. Trump would rule all with no checks or balances.
Replace existing federal employees including civil service with far-right acolytes who will ignore the law and be loyal only to Trump. Expertise or competence not required, only devotion to the Orange Menace.
Destroy civil service protections so any federal employee can be fired at any time with no reason given. There would be no job protections.
Marc Elias of Democracy Docket, who is in the battle every day filing and winning lawsuits against the fascists (yes, they are fascist) explains what the goals of Project 2025 are.
Media Matters has more.
The plan aims to reinstate Schedule F, a Trump-era executive order that makes federal employees fireable at-will, stripping tens of thousands of employees of civil service protections. Both Trump and others in the conservative movement have said they will clear out the federal government if he is reelected. The project has even set up online trainings and loyalty tests to narrow down potential hires to those who will commit to follow Trump without question. As Project 2025 senior adviser John McEntee has said, “The number one thing you’re looking for is people that are aligned with the agenda.
We must oppose Project 2025 and keep a Democrat in the White House.
