The Plot Against America: Project 2025 and the Executive Branch

The Bureaucratic Foundations of MAGA-Fascism

As mentioned in my previous Substack posts, I will be spending the next few weeks examining the specifics of the Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025, formally known as the “Mandate for Leadership - the Conservative Promise”. Put simply, Project 2025 is the blueprint for American fascism. The 920 page playbook details how a second Trump administration can achieve unchecked political power by decimating civil agencies within the federal government and replacing civil servants with yes-men and MAGA ideologues. According to the strategy, this should be achieved within the first 180 days. The intended outcome of this agenda is referenced in the first chapter: “countering China, enforcing immigration laws, reversing regulatory policies in order to promote energy production, combating the Left’s aggressive attacks on life and religious liberty, and confronting ‘wokeism’ throughout the federal government”.
