Protest against Project 2025 at the Heritage Foundation

Led by conservative think tank the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 is a plan to reshape the executive branch of the U.S. federal government in the event of a Republican victory in the 2024 U.S. presidential election.

It includes replacing existing federal civil service workers – considered to be part of the “deep state” -- with tens of thousands of conservatives from across the country; slashing U.S. Department of Justice funding; dismantling the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security; eliminating the cabinet departments of education and commerce; immediately invoking the Insurrection Act to deploy the military for domestic law enforcement; and directing the Department of Justice to pursue Trump adversaries.

Reactions to the plan included variously describing it as authoritarian, an attempt by Trump to become a dictator and a path leading the United States towards autocracy, with several experts in law criticizing it for violating current constitutional laws that would undermine the rule of law and the separation of powers.

I'm glad people were actually protesting it. I'm shocked when I talk to people by how many of them haven't head about it at all. Or a lot of other scary things that are going on in the repub party. The news has to get out. Thanks for posting this Helen. ~BV~

I agree we need some reform in government, but maga republicans need to be quashed.

I hope the protesting brings awareness to the 2025 plan. It is truly terrifying. I wish it was easier to move to Canada. V

This is going to be a strange election year

I'm continually amazed at Trump's appeal to so many. I dread this election. And my state of Texas is probably going to secede. Calling it Texit.

It is such a depressing scenario, one we watch from this side of the border with trepidation. How can things have come to this? I am so glad that at least people are protesting this dreadful scenario. Nice documentary shot. V

A crazy year ahead, that's for sure. And hopefully no longer than that.

Let’s hope something happens so that he doesn’t get the chance to run. I vote he gets put in jail and they throw away the key.

That sounds scary - glad people are protesting but will enough listen?

sadly this plan will find ample support, with wrath and revenge key to fundamentalist's creed...if the gangster gets in the oval office, your country will sink into deep mire..

As viewed from outside the US, it seems like we're witnessing the end of the 'United' States! US citizens are the only ones who can stop it! For the ret of the world ... we're all scratching our heads with incomprehension!
