    1. I hope this forever kills the GOP. Oh sure you’ll have remnants and future politicians trying to reignite the flame, but we the people and the entire world have seen them for who they are and what they want.

    2. It should be 90% unfavorable, at the VERY LEAST, but this is America. We’re…um…not bright, to put it kindly.

    3. you know why trump has just made up slanders about haitians in ohio, or talked about kamala’s work at mcdonalds? it’s because he can’t talk policy, his policy is project 2025.

      If you want to learn more about what trump will do if he’s elected you can find out more at [https://www.25and.me/](https://www.25and.me/) which is a website that links directly to the project 2025 document “Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise” for your specific topics of interest.

      For example, if elected trump will do the below against democracy:

      * **…concentrate power in the executive branch by advocating for expanding presidential power over agencies, including independent agencies, and for making it easier to fire civil servants.** This could concentrate power in the executive branch and make it harder for Congress and the courts to check presidential power. [[43]](https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf#page=76) [[825]](https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf#page=858)
      * **…weaken independent agencies like the Federal Reserve and the FCC and propose to bring them under greater political control.** This could undermine the agencies’ ability to act impartially and make decisions based on expertise rather than political pressure. [[731]](https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf#page=764) [[845]](https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf#page=878)
      * **…make it easier for the President to fire government workers who are not political appointees.** This would give the President more power over the people who work for the government and make it harder for them to do their jobs without worrying about being fired for political reasons. [[80]](https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf#page=113)
      * **…allow religious organizations to discriminate against people they don’t agree with.** This would violate the rights of people who are discriminated against. [[586]](https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf#page=619)
      * **…allow the government to use taxpayer money to support religious organizations.** This would violate the separation of church and state. [[261]](https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf#page=294) [[481]](https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf#page=514)
      * **…advance a conservative agenda, including by selectively enforcing laws and prioritizing funding for certain groups.** This could undermine the principle of impartial government and create a two-tiered system of justice. [[545]](https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf#page=578)
      * **…dismantle the administrative state, which, while often inefficient and bureaucratic, is also a key mechanism for implementing laws passed by Congress and protecting the public interest.** Weakening these agencies could lead to less accountability and weaker enforcement of laws, particularly in areas like environmental protection, consumer safety, and worker rights. [[6]](https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf#page=39)

      I really didn’t think that Project 2025 would blow up as much it has. At the time when I found out about it a couple of months ago, my friends didn’t even know what it was. I’m glad that it’s all over the news now and people are making a huge deal about it.

      Also, Trump can sit there and say he has nothing to do with it until he’s blue in the face, but he’s not fooling anyone who has common sense. Of course his dumb cult members believe him because they live in an alternate universe where he’s their “messiah” who can do no wrong. I’m so tired of Trump and his brainwashed loyalists.

    5. PierreVonSnooglehoff on

      The proponents certainly don’t care that it’s unpopular. If they can get into power to make the changes they want, it will be very hard to undo the changes.

    6. Admirable_Nothing on

      A plan to destroy democracy and the US Govt as we know it based on Far Right Wing Nutz conspiracy thoughts is going to be very controversial. Yet, the MAGAts decided to not only do it but to publicize it. This is their only published platform.

    7. Alternative-View5997 on

      They don’t care because once it’s in place there will be nothing we can do to stop them.

    8. “I strongly find Project 2025 unfavorable but I’ll still support the guy that will bring it into our government.”

    9. It should have guaranteed a blue wave. It didn’t. Republicans would vote for tRUMP and the republicans even if they promised to enslave them.

    10. And yet half of this country will vote for the clowns who will try to put it into actual policy.

    11. I can’t believe those numbers–wish they were accurate, but there are more than 4% MAGA(t)s who support anything Trump tells them.

    12. Which is why they’re lying through their teeth to desperately disavow it and their connections to it.

      “He’s denied it.” “He says he doesn’t support it.”

      That and more spew forth from the GOP apologists desperately trying to convince voters that it will never happen.

      Food for thought: _they made the same denials about Roe v Wade in 2016…_

    13. Its not going to stop JD and the billionaires from doing everything they can to enact it. What the American people want or don’t want is inconsequential.

    14. Yeah. Because it’s a nightmare plan to turn life in the US into a crazy conservative theocracy..!

    15. Budget-Bench-6202 on

      4% seems about right for the true size of his cult. They are just incredible loud, ignorant and obnoxious. Throw in half the 40%, of those undecided who probably just vote R out of habit and at best he get’s 25% of the vote – considerably more than the 0% he deserves.

    16. “Oh, that plan won’t ACTUALLY happen”
      “Oh, it wouldn’t affect me personally”

      “Oh. Uh oh. Oh shit”

    17. They’re just going to try to repackage it into small disguised bites and pass it piecemeal over a longer time frame if they don’t get the win they’re trying to put the fix in for this November.

      Stay vigilant. Don’t be complacent. Fight this no matter how long it takes.

    18. Combining the 4% favorable and the 57% unfavorable, that is only 61% of respondents. Where are the other 39%? No opinion?

    19. Trumpet those evil plans loud and non-stop until election day. Nation wide. But especially swing states.

    20. WastedKnowledge on

      All my life I thought 10% of people would always pick the contrarian option, whether they believe it or not. This is one of the few times that’s been disproved.

    21. MediumSizedTurtle on

      So it’s become so unfavorable partly because of Trump distancing himself from it. It isn’t Republicans saying they don’t like project 2025 on merits, they are saying they dislike it because they view it as some imaginary boogeyman the Democrats are making up.

      They need to do a better job tying this to Trump and making sure people know this is something that is real, and very possible. Let them know that the heritage foundation has been one of the most powerful, influential groups in GOP politics for decades.
