Non-American here, heard about Project 2025 a few weeks ago.
For people unaware:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_2025#Policies
What is the likelihood of those policies to happen?
Depends on the part of the project. Some of it absolutely will. Some of it definitely won’t.
Many things would require Congress to approve, and it’s unlikely those that have to face reelection would just go for it.
The landslide means Republicans are favored to take the House again. So… pretty good, depending on whether Johnson and Thune can get all their little ducklings in a row.
Of course, Republicans have a long and storied history of getting into office and then immediately ratfvcking one another. So, we’ll see what they actually get done versus what they bicker to death. Can the GOP even get a Speaker nominated properly this time?
If they also get the House it is extremely likely that the whole thing will be implemented. The party supports it on paper even if they deny it when asked and the people behind it are the ones funding the party.
They will vote in lock step to pass it after getting rid of the filibuster, Trump will sign it, and SCOTUS will declare the unconstitutional parts to be constitutional when challenged.
I honestly think this will be the last time we have an election. It’s looking like he could possibly take the house, Senate is already red. Likely control of all 3 chambers. Our systems of checks and balances likely won’t survive the next 2 years.
The man has outright said he would be a dictator on day one and would make his enemies pay.
1776-2024. RIP America’s experiment in democracy.
They will try. And they will fail no person with a mind wants that shit and there will be problematic events when they try to hard.
I’d say it’s 100% likely.
This is the guy who tried, and partially succeeded, to ban Muslims after all.
The last time they were in charge they didn’t have any plans and couldn’t come up with any.
Now they have a playbook to follow.
Maybe they’ll misinterpret it like their other book.
