Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

If you’ve been following the election—and who hasn’t?—you’ve heard about it. Maybe you’ve been told it’s just propaganda, a scare tactic, a boogeyman. You might even have been told it’s fake news, designed to throw votes to the Democratic Party in the final months before Election Day.

But Project 2025 is very, very real. It’s out there on the internet for the world to see.

If you watched the Democratic National Convention, you saw the Big Blue Book, carried onstage by comedians and politicians as a prop for jokes.

“Have you ever seen a document that could kill a small animal and democracy at the same time?” asked comedian Kenan Thompson. “Here it is, the terms and conditions of a new Trump presidency.”

“Usually Republicans want to ban books, but now they’re trying to shove this down our throats,” said Pennsylvania State Rep. Malcolm Kenyatta.

But there’s nothing funny about Project 2025. Nothing at all.

While Trump continues to deny his involvement with Project 2025—“I have absolutely nothing to do with it,” he told reporters on August 22—the documentation has Trump rhetoric written all over it.

What do we need to know about Project 2025? 

Simply put, Project 2025 is a $22 million blueprint for a second Trump administration. The proposal includes a Mandate for Leadership 2025: The Conservative Promise, a 922-page policy manual with four major goals: Restore the family as the centerpiece of American life, dismantle the administrative state, defend the nation’s sovereignty and borders, and secure God-given individual rights so citizens can live freely.

Project 2025 isn’t new. It actually debuted in April 2023. And this isn’t even the first Mandate for Leadership. Unbelievably, the Heritage Foundation has been writing policy recommendations for decades. Their first Mandate, published in January 1981, served as a roadmap for the Reagan administration. Throughout his two terms, Reagan implemented over 60% of the Mandate.

This isn’t even Trump’s first Mandate for Leadership. The Heritage Foundation created one in 2015 for the first term, and later bragged that President Trump enacted 64% of its policies. Several of these were controversial actions: Leaving the Paris Climate Accords, increasing military spending, increasing offshore drilling, and selling and developing federal lands. In July 2020, the Foundation issued a new Mandate to White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows.

The Heritage Foundation is also working on a detailed transition playbook for the first 180 days of a new Trump presidency. This document will outline comprehensive transition plans for every federal department and agency. Due to the negative reactions to Project 2025, the playbook is being safely guarded and will not be released publicly. To thwart a Freedom of Information Act request, the Foundation plans to deliver the playbook directly to the incoming Trump administration.

What is the Heritage Foundation? 

The Heritage Foundation is a collective of more than 100 special interest groups guiding an extremely conservative presidential agenda. Its membership includes Moms for Liberty, the National Rifle Association, Stephen Miller’s America First Legal, and the Alliance Defending Freedom, who sought to overturn Roe v. Wade. The Southern Poverty Law Center has declared many members of the Heritage Foundation to be hate or extremist groups.

Founded in 1973, the Foundation has served up their wish lists to Republican presidents from Reagan to Bush to Trump. They’ve also briefed Republican candidates in the past 12 presidential elections, including Haley and DeSantis in 2024.

The Foundation is led by President Kevin Roberts, an architect of Project 2025 and the author of Dawn’s Early Light: Taking Back Washington to Save America, scheduled for release in September, with a foreword by Republican vice-presidential nominee J. D. Vance. (The book was originally subtitled “Burning Down Washington to Save America” and was retitled and rescheduled due to the Project 2025 backlash.)

Since the Supreme Court’s ruling on presidential immunity, the Heritage Foundation has become bolder and bolder.

“A president no longer has to second-guess or triple-guess every decision they’re making in their official capacity,” said Roberts, a long-time critic of Trump officials and lawyers who advised against more extreme policies. “The nation is in the process of the Second American Revolution, which will remain bloodless if the left allows it to be.”

“This is chilling,” responded politician Marianne Williamson. “Their idea of a second American Revolution is to undo the first one.”

Roberts has already declared the 2024 election illegitimate—before voting began—stating that any victory but a Trump victory will be evidence of fraud. At the same time, the Foundation has accused Democrats of lying about the Project 2025 agenda.

Throughout the election, the Foundation has been extremely cautious about implying any direct connection to Trump.

“Project 2025 does not speak for any candidate or campaign,” the Foundation posted on X on July 5. “It is ultimately up to the president, who we believe will be President Trump, to decide which recommendations to implement.”

However, British journalists recently captured Russell Vought in a hidden camera video, where he admits to secretly drafting hundreds of executive orders, memos, and regulations to create “shadow agencies.” He claimed that Trump blessed his organization and is incredibly supportive of their work.

“Eighty percent of my time is spent working on the plans for what’s necessary to take control of these bureaucracies, and we are working to destroy their agencies’ notion of independence,” Vought said.

Why do people think Trump is involved with Project 2025? 

Project 2025 is the work of 38 primary authors, 28 of which held high-ranking roles in the Trump Administration. These players include:

• Russell Vought, key architect of Project 2025, and former White House Budget Chief

• Paul Dans, recently resigned Project 2025 director, and former Trump Chief of Staff under the U.S. Office of Personnel Management

• John McEntee, senior advisor of Project 2025, and former director of the White House Presidential Personnel Office, who told the Daily Wire he would be integrating his work into the Trump campaign when the transition team was announced

• Spencer Chretien, Project 2025 associate director, and former Special Assistant to the President

• Roger Severino, former director of the Office of Civil Rights at the Department of Health & Human Services

• Ben Carson, former Secretary of Housing & Urban Development

• Ken Cuccinelli, former Deputy Secretary of Homeland Security

• Christopher Miller, former Secretary of Defense

• Peter Navarro, former Director of the White House National Trade Council

In July, CNN reported that a minimum of 140 people involved with the Trump administration contributed to Project 2025.

“This is a great group,” said Trump at a Heritage Foundation event in 2022, “and they’re going to lay the groundwork and detail plans for exactly what our movement will do and what your movement will do when the American people give us a colossal mandate to save America.”

What are Republicans saying about Project 2025? 

Trump has changed his tune on the campaign trail. “I have nothing to do with it,” said Trump on Fox & Friends on August 22. “I have no idea what the hell it is, and I don’t even want to see it. I don’t want to read it, because I want to say I have no idea what it is.

“The radical left Democrats are having a field day, trying to hook me into whatever policies are being said. It is pure disinformation on their part,” he said.

Agenda 47 is Donald Trump’s policy platform, available online at the campaign website. You’ll recognize many of the elements above, and you’ll see some new ones (Trump’s Plan to Protect Children from Left Wing Gender Insanity, among them). Trump supporters feel he is restoring common-sense, working-class values, and that his government will reflect their concerns.

“Project 2025 has nothing to do with the campaign, did not speak for the campaign, and should not be associated with the campaign or the president in any way,” said Trump’s campaign team.

Donald B. Ayer, who served as deputy attorney general under President George H.W. Bush, is deeply concerned. “[These] ideas are designed to let Donald Trump function as a dictator, by completely eviscerating many of the restraints built into our system. He really wants to destroy any notion of rule of law in the country. If Trump were to be elected and implement some of these ideas…no one in this country would be safe.”

If Trump hasn’t seen or read Project 2025, one of the most remarkable coincidences in U.S. history is under way. CBS News extracted 700 specific policies from Project 2025, and compared them to Trump’s campaign promises, rally speeches, interviews, and first term policies. Across the board, they identified 271 proposals—over 41%—that were a direct match.

What are Democrats saying about Project 2025? 

“Project 2025 should scare every living American. It will destroy America,” said President Biden.

“America declared independence from a tyrannical king 248 years ago tomorrow,” said James Singer, a spokesperson for the Biden campaign, on July 3. “Now, Trump and his allies want to make him one at our expenses. They are dreaming of a violent revolution to destroy the very idea of America.”

“Project 2025 is a plan to return America to a dark past,” said Vice President Kamala Harris. “Can you believe they put that thing in writing?” The Harris campaign launched a website to highlight the dangers of Project 2025.

“This unacceptable agenda rips away America’s freedoms, gives handouts to corporations and billionaires, and does nothing to address American people or the issues they care about most,” said Kevin Muñoz, senior spokesperson for the Harris campaign.

During the Democratic National Convention, speakers cited exact page numbers of concern. They also condemned Governor Ron DeSantis for making Florida a “testing ground” for Project 2025’s most dangerous policies.

“This is a poisonous agenda, where every single state will be in a state of crisis,” said Senator Cory Booker, D-NJ.

“Project 2025 is about turning the clock back,” said Rep. Barbara Lee, D-CA. “But it’s not new. It’s just now being exposed. People need to know it’s real and they want to do this.”

“I know a couch commando when I see one,” said Rep Jason Crow, D-CO. “Donald Trump’s Project 2025 would abandon our troops, allies, veterans, and our principles.”

“Project 2025 is an agenda that nobody asked for, serving only the richest and most extreme amongst us,” said Democratic Vice Presidential nominee Governor Tim Walz. “And speaking from experience as a high school football coach, let me tell you: When someone draws up a playbook, you know they’re going to use it.”

After being briefed by the ACLU, Congressman Jared Huffman (D-CA) was so alarmed that he launched the Stop Project 2025 Task Force. “Project 2025 is a dystopian plot,” said Huffman. “Trump would seize supreme powers to dismantle democratic institutions, abolish checks and balances, chip away at church-state separation, and impose a far-right agenda that infringes on basic liberties and violates public will.”

“The plans being developed by members of Trump’s cult to turn the DOJ and FBI into instruments of his revenge should send shivers down the spine of anyone who cares about the rule of law,” said Michael Bromwich, former Justice Department Inspector General (1994–99.) “Project 2025 is rhetorical ‘window-dressing’ for four years of personal vengeance.”

Still, Pete Buttigieg, Secretary of Transportation, feels Project 2025 has been “disastrous” for the Trump campaign. “I think it’s incredible that the biggest scandal of the year is a policy scandal,” said Buttigieg on the August 21 episode of Late Night with Stephen Colbert. “The one that actually has Republicans the most afraid, the one that has them doing damage control…is the simple fact that they wrote down their own policies. That is the thing from which they may never recover. And somehow, we’re still underreacting to it ourselves.”

Why are we just hearing about this now? 

Until Taraji Henson called for action at the June 30 BET Awards, most American households had never heard of Project 2025. In May, the polling group Navigator found that less than 25% of surveyed adults knew what it was. Ninety days later, the same poll showed 59% of adults recognized the name.

Henson launched a social media groundswell. Within days, there were hundreds of TikTok explainer videos raising awareness of Project 2025. Today, a TikTok search reveals nearly 75,000 #Project2025 videos—some of which have hundreds of thousands of views—and many of these videos have also been shared on YouTube, Instagram, and other channels.

The results speak for themselves. Navigator’s August poll showed that 43% of respondents had a negative opinion of Project 2025, while only 11% felt it was favorable and 46% chose “no opinion.”

So, what is Project 2025, really? 

It’s been called the “Declaration of Discrimination.” Imagine an instruction manual for transforming America into a real-world Republic of Gilead from Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale. You’d be close to the vision of Project 2025.

“Project 2025 combines the authoritarian goals of the MAGA movement with the deregulatory dreams of America’s plutocrats,” said Pema Levy of Mother Jones. The Washington Post called it a plan to “infuse Christian nationalism into every facet of government.” Snopes cites concerns about the plan being a precursor for authoritarianism.

Most of the proposals are inhumane and unethical; some are outright unconstitutional and would trigger long legal battles. The ACLU has already declared war against Project 2025, saying they will use all the tools at their disposal to defend democracy.

The key to a good life, according to Roberts, “is found primarily in family—marriage, children, Thanksgiving dinners and the like,” and, above all, in “religious devotion and spirituality.”

That “good life” is rooted in the most discriminatory legislature ever proposed in America. If you are not a white, straight, cisgender, conservative male, you will experience pain points under Project 2025.

“The destination is an ugly and embittered America that is largely unrecognizable to most of us. We must not go there,” said Michael Hicks, director of the Center for Business & Economic Research.

LGBTQ Rights 

In a year when states introduced over 527 anti-LGBTQ bills, could it get worse for LGBTQ people?

Yes. Project 2025 is “designed to transport LGBTQ Americans back six decades to an unrecognizable landscape of isolation and invisibility,” wrote Charles Francis in the Washington Blade.

Brynn Tannehill agreed, writing in Dame Magazine that Project 2025 “makes eradicating LGBTQ people from public life its top priority.”

“Trump’s Project 2025 is a 900+ page playbook to shape the government into an extreme, conservative hellscape,” said Rep. Mark Pocan (D-WI). “It includes step-by-step plans to completely gut the LGBTQ rights and protections that we have fought so hard for over the course of decades. It’s not hyperbole when I say, ‘If you are part of our community, Trump’s Project 2025 will without a doubt negatively impact your life in very real ways.’”

“As harmful as the first Trump presidency was for LGBTQ Americans, the Trump-Vance Project 2025 agenda makes it seem quaint,” said Cathryn Oakley, senior director of legal policy at the Human Rights Campaign. “It would give Trump unprecedented powers to dismantle our rights and undo many of the protections the LGBTQ community have spent decades fighting to gain. No part of our lives would be off limits—not the doctor’s office, our classrooms, our workplaces, or our families. And it would be even worse for those who sit at the intersection of multiple marginalized communities. That’s why no matter how much Donald Trump and J.D. Vance try to distance themselves from this toxic, anti-American agenda, HRC Equality Votes PAC will keep talking to voters from now until Election Day about Project 2025 and reminding them what’s at stake.”

The Human Rights Campaign has launched a website to educate LGBTQ voters of this year’s stakes.

LGBTQ Americans are prioritized in “Promise #1” of Project 2025. Sexual orientation is highlighted as a threat on page four, ahead of global warfare, U.S. border immigration, the economy, and God-given individual rights.

“The Family Agenda’ section proposes that the Department of Health & Human Services declare that men and women are biological realities and that “married men and women are the ideal, natural, family structure, because all children have a right to be raised by the men and women who conceived them.”

Furthermore, the Agenda calls for government to “maintain a biblically based, social science reinforced definition of marriage and family.”

Project 2025 takes aim at the transgender community. It would weaponize federal law to require states to discriminate against trans “ideology, penalize schools that protect the rights of trans students, eliminate federal funding for schools and universities that teach gender studies, and withdraw Medicaid benefits for hospitals providing gender-affirming medical care.”

“No serious country should be telling its children that they were born the wrong gender,” said Trump. “Transgenderism is a concept never heard of in all of human history…the radical left invented it just a few years ago.”

Any mention of transgender identity would be removed from government policies and practices. Gender-affirming care would be redefined as “child abuse” with penalties for supportive parents and providers. Trump also supports the Project’s call for a trans military ban to be restored.

In effect, transgender people would legally cease to exist in America.

Project 2025 doesn’t specifically call for the elimination of LGB civil rights. There are hints of future reductions of workplace protections (i.e., removing sexual identity as a protected class from Title IX), but no outright call for immediate changes.

There’s no outright call to eliminate marriage equality, although the redefinition of “ideal, natural family structures” implies future action.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion 

“The next conservative President must make the institutions of American civil society hard targets for woke culture warriors,” states Project 2025.

Seeking to destroy “woke propaganda” and the “inappropriate political indoctrination of America,” the proposal vows to eliminate the words “sexual orientation,” “gender identity,” “gender equality,” and “racial equity” from government language. It calls for the widespread cancellation of DEI programs in schools, universities, employers, and government. All policies, programs, and funding will be removed. All staff and grantees engaged in “ideological agitation on behalf of the DEI agenda” will be terminated.

These measures would also censor critical discussions in classrooms, cutting federal funding for schools that teach racial, gender, LGBTQ, or any other topics from the perspective of the oppressed. History would literally be rewritten by the conquerors.

Reproductive Rights 

Project 2025 does not call for an outright abortion ban.

However, the proposal does call for more restricted access of mifepristone, banning use after seven weeks of pregnancy and requiring in-person dispensation. Project 2025 also calls for the Food and Drug Administration to overturn approval for the drug.

Project 2025 calls for the Department of Health and Human Services to be reinvented as a federal “Department of Life.” It would create a Pro-Life Task Force to promote the life and health of women and their unborn children and eliminate the Reproductive Healthcare Access Task Force established by the Biden Administration.

Project 2025 would intensify surveillance of abortion across the nation. States that didn’t track and report abortion volume would lose federal funding. Abortion providers would be prohibited from receiving Medicaid dollars, and medical colleges would be forbidden from teaching abortion procedures.

Immigration 

Nowhere is Project 2025 more cruel than in its solutions for the border crisis.

Project 2025 calls for the largest deportation program in American history, which author Russell Vought feels will “save the country” and “restore Christian nationalism.” This specific plan is fully supported by the Trump campaign. Vought feels Trump will bypass the rule of law to maintain order, including using the military to suppress the inevitable mass protests and dissent.

But that’s just the beginning.

Recommendations also include:

• Finishing the Wall from coast to coast

• Employing National Guard and active-duty military to police the Mexican border

• Granting local law enforcement jurisdiction over border security issues

• Allowing arrests at formerly protected places (churches, schools, playgrounds)

• Eliminate all family-based immigration—which they call “birth tourism”—and deport all Dreamers

• Escalate family separation: Transfer care of minors to the Department of Homeland Security

• Suspend due process that allows immigrants a day in court before deportation

• Create new limitations on which immigrants can qualify for employment

• Eliminate T and U visas available for crime victims, including human trafficking

• Allow immediate expulsion of migrants if immigration courts are backlogged

• End the Flores Settlement Agreement, which limits how long migrant children can stay in detention and requires them to be detained in the least restrictive conditions available

• Introduce a “Show Me Your Papers” mandate, which would require authorities to remove, arrest, and detain long-term immigrants without a warrant if they cannot present proof of citizenship

Project 2025 also grants near-limitless power to the Security of Homeland Security. If they determine there is a real or anticipated mass migration of immigrants, they can create rules and regulations without any outside governance or oversight.

First Amendment Rights 

Project 2025 views the tech industry, especially social media companies, as predators preying on children like drug dealers. They are planning a “thermonuclear attack” against what they’ve termed industrial-scale child abuse that has caused mental illness, political indoctrination, and the breakdown of the American family.

They propose an outright ban on TikTok, which Trump does not support, and deep investigations into the other social media companies.

In addition, the Project seeks to ban all pornography, and prosecute everyone (including teachers and librarians) who create access to any material considered by conservatives to be pornography. Tech and telecom companies who broadcast porn would be shut down.

Other sections of Project 2025 call for expanded warrantless surveillance of American citizens, using federal laws to target journalists and professors, and severely limiting voting access through complex qualification processes.

Executive Privilege 

Project 2025 proposes that the entire federal government be placed under presidential control to streamline decision-making and implement policies faster. This action would invalidate the Constitution and essentially usher the United States into totalitarian rule.

The next step would be the largest political reappointment in U.S. history. Thousands of government employees would be fired and replaced with Trump loyalists. This would revive Trump’s Schedule F policy, which reclassified federal workers as political appointees. It would also override the 1883 Pendleton Civil Service Act, which sought to reduce government corruption by demanding merit-based presidential appointments.

The project has already created a database of personnel who could serve in the next administration. All candidates are vetted on their political stances, whether they agree or disagree with statements like “life has a right to legal protection from conception” and “the president should be able to advance his agenda without hindrance from unelected federal officials.”

For starters, Project 2025 proposes that all Department of State employees in leadership roles should be fired no later than January 20, 2025. State Department leadership will be appointed in “acting” roles that will not require outside review or Senate confirmation.

Government reform 

No aspect of the U.S. government would be safe from Project 2025, which seeks to “shrink” government while eliminating many federal functions. Many of these changes are painfully short-sighted, others are simply based in cruelty and avarice.

• The FBI, which it calls a “bloated, arrogant, lawless organization,” would be drastically reinvented. The agency would no longer be authorized to investigate misinformation, including election interference. Critics fear the Department of Justice will be weaponized against Trump’s enemies.

• The Department of Education would be disbanded in favor of creating a Parental Bill of Rights and expanded school choice. Title IX, which prohibits discrimination on gender or sexual identity, would be eliminated. Schools would be allowed to opt out of federal education programs. Head Start, which has helped 40M underprivileged children since 1965, would be eliminated. Title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act, which also supports children from low-income households, would be canceled.

• The Department of Homeland Security would be recreated as an immigration police force.

• The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA,) which oversees the National Weather Service and five other offices, will be significantly downsized as “one of the main drivers of the climate change industry…harmful to future U.S. prosperity.”

• The Department of Agriculture, which has published dietary guidelines for decades, would be reformed due to their “infiltration by the climate change and sustainability agenda.”

• The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau would be eliminated, despite resolving over 400,000 complaints since 2011 and recovering $183M for victims.

• The Federal Reserve would be canceled, and Project 2025 recommends that the country return to a gold-based economy.

• The White House Press Corps would become a loyalty-based organization.

• The Corporation for Public Broadcasting, a private nonprofit corporation, would be defunded, impacting the survival of PBS and National Public Radio. In addition, NPR would see its noncommercial status revoked.

• The Federal Trade Commission, which is responsible for enforcing antitrust laws, would be abolished, as well as the National Labor Relations Board, which protects employee rights.

• Many provisions of the Endangered Species Act would be eliminated without scientific review. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the U.S. Geological Survey teams would be decimated. This would cripple all future conservation efforts and reverse decades of ecological progress.

• The Department of the Interior would open most federal lands to development. Biden’s America the Beautiful Campaign—which seeks to conserve 30% of natural lands by 2030—would be canceled. The public would be removed from all federal land decisions without judicial review. Carbon reduction goals would be replaced by efforts to increase energy production. While this would create a gold rush for private oil, gas, and mineral companies, it would seriously impact environmental and public health.

Government Benefits 

Project 2025 does not call for the end of Social Security. However, the Heritage Foundation has long criticized the program and lobbied for a complete overhaul.

Their recommendations for other government benefits are a harbinger of things to come:

• Medicaid payments would be capped for states without alignment to their actual spending needs, creating a situation where coverage could be denied for particular services. Medicare Advantage would become the default for most Americans.

• Medicaid and Medicare would be forbidden from negotiating drug prices. The Inflation Reduction Act, which caused a sharp reduction in pricing on 10 critical prescriptions, would be repealed.

• Disability would be redefined for veterans, making it harder to get disability benefits. Existing claimants would see their benefits reduced, while new applicants would be outright denied. The PACT Act, which offers benefits for veterans who experienced Agent Orange, oil well fires, or burn pits in wartime, would be canceled. (Yet, service people who refused COVID vaccination would be restored to duty.)

• The Housing First strategy, which prevents veteran homelessness through housing, mental health, and AODA services, would be canceled. Over 100,000 veterans receive support through this program each year.

• The Housing Supply Fund, which removes barriers for first-time homeowners through low-income housing tax credits, would be eliminated.

• OSHA and overtime pay thresholds would be rewritten. Rather than paying overtime pay, employers could offer paid time off or flexible schedules. Most of the 4M American workers who gained overtime eligibility under Biden would lose it under Project 2025. However, Sundays would be declared federal holidays as “Sabbath Rest” Days, and all hours worked would be eligible for overtime pay.

• Federal subsidies for electric vehicles would be eliminated, as well as emissions limitations on gas powered vehicles.

• Childless adults on federal assistance would be transitioned back into the workforce through increasing working hour requirements.

• All federal programs for student loan forgiveness would be revoked, and anyone who had received forgiveness under the Biden Administration would see their loans reactivated.

• The EEOC, specifically the consent decrees, would be rewritten to favor “able-bodied workers” and make it easier to discriminate against the disabled in hiring, performance evaluation, and firing decisions.

Federal Taxes 

Project 2025 is an unashamed corporate tax giveaway. Since 2017, the corporate tax rate has dropped from 35% to 20%. The Project recommends dropping it even further to 17%, which would cost the nation over $300B, and recovering that loss by removing deductions and increasing taxes for the middle class.

Capital gains tax would also be reduced from 20% to 15%, and the Child Tax Credit would be discontinued.

While gifting Corporate America an enormous tax benefit, and bleeding middle class America dry, Project 2025 also plans to cut $2B from the IRS to reduce “unnecessary and intrusive oversight.” Congress would require a supermajority to veto these moves or pass any tax increases in the future.

What can you do? 

Please note that this isn’t the entire blueprint. This is just the opening chapter.

While we’re all laughing at the Republicans for being “weird,” let’s not overlook the fact that all the components are in place to make Project 2025 a reality.

America is currently governed by a Christian nationalist Speaker of the House and a politically compromised Supreme Court. If Democrats lose the House and/or the Presidency, Republicans will have the supermajority required to advance the concepts of Project 2025. We are already seeing efforts to eliminate the separation of church and state. We are already seeing efforts to deconstruct freedoms for “others” in American society. We’ve already seen children in cages, and we’re still hearing rumblings of concentration camps.

In 2016, we heard, “Stop being hysterical. What’s the worst he can do?” And we’re still hearing that eight years later, even with the “worst” spelled out in plain language.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them.
