Petition to Stop 2025
This has nothing to do with Supernatural so anyone who wants to ignore it can. But I implore you to look up what Project 2025 is and sign the petition. You don't have to pay money you can just share it. Thank you to anyone who does this.
"Project 2025 is a plan to, in the words of project Director Paul Dans, "...march into office and bring a new army of aligned, trained, and essentially weaponized conservatives ready to do battle against the Deep State".
It is organized by the Heritage Foundation, to "muzzle woke propaganda at every level of government", "gut the administrative state" (HUD, FEMA, DOJ, DHS, the Federal Reserve, CDC, FDA, EPA, etc.) and concentrate power into the hands of the President (Leeja Miller, in a video that is linked below, goes into detail on how this would work).
Their claim is that "Only through the implementation of specific action plans at each agency will the next conservative presidential Administration be successful".
The plan includes a 180 Day Playbook, described as "...a comprehensive, concrete transition plan for each federal agency." The plan is "the conservative movement's unified effort to be ready for the next conservative administration to govern at 12:00 noon, January 20, 2025".
Project 2025 promises to "rescue the country from the grip of the radical Left" and to "unite the conservative movement and the American people against elite rule and woke culture warriors".
Project 2025 lists problems with America such as:
- The breakdown of the family
- Immigration
- The "totalitarian cult known today as The Great Awokening"
- The erosion of constitutional accountability in Washington
- Children suffering the "toxic normalization of transgenderism with drag queens and pornography invading their school libraries"
- An "overseas, totalitarian Communist dictatorship" that is "not a strategic partner or fair competitor" and is "engaged in a strategic, cultural and economic Cold War against America's interests, values and people"
- "Low-income communities" that are "drowning in addiction and government dependence"
- "America's elites have betrayed the American People"
- The left using climate change "to scare the American public into accepting their ineffective, liberty crushing regulations"
They believe that "These are problems not of technocratic efficiency, but of national sovereignty and constitutional governance. We solve them not by trimming and reshaping the leaves, but by ripping out the trees -- root and branch."
Their broad goals are to:
- Restore the family as the centerpiece of American life, and protect our children
- Dismantle the administrative state and return self-governance to the American people
- Defend our nation's sovereignty, borders and bounty against global threats
- Secure our God-given individual rights to live freely - what our constitution calls "the Blessings of Liberty"
Dans states that "The long march of Cultural Marxism through our institutions has come to pass. The federal government is a behemoth, weaponized against American citizens and conservative values, with freedom and liberty under siege as never before".
Project 2025 is, in my words, a distinctly terrifying and highly detailed roadmap for:
- Installing a Chriso-fascist oligarchy
- Rolling back civil and human rights
- Removing bodily autonomy from women and transgender individuals
- The systematic eradication of minorities and other vulnerable groups
I don't use the words "systematic eradication" lightly or with hyperbole. They obviously don't come right out and say it, but they state that:
- Pornography should be outlawed
- The people who produce and distribute it should be imprisoned
- Educators and public librarians who purvey it should be classed as registered sex offenders
- Telecommunications and technology firms that facilitate its spread should be shuttered
The real problem with the above, apart from the obvious, is that they label the existence of LGBTQIA+ people as "inherently pornographic". They say that pornography is “manifested today through the omnipresent propagation of transgender ideology".
They say that the fix "starts with deleting the terms sexual orientation and gender identity ('SOGI'), diversity, equity and inclusion ('DEI'), gender, gender equality, gender awareness, gender sensitive, abortion, reproductive health, reproductive rights, and any other term to deprive Americans of their First Amendment rights out of every federal rule, agency regulation, contract, grant, regulation, and piece of legislation that exists".
They also state that "The president should direct agencies to rescind regulations interpreting sex discrimination provisions as prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity, transgender status, sex characteristics, etc."
They want to "maintain a biblically based, social science-reinforced definition of marriage and family" which would remove protections for same-sex marriage.
Leeja Miller helpfully points out that the above language does not simply include transgender individuals, it includes cis women as well. I'd argue that removing the DEI language also allows them to target anyone that isn't a white, cis, heterosexual, evangelical (or other approved flavor of Christianity) male.
Some other points of note:
- They want to eliminate the Department of Education
- They want to ban the teaching of Critical Race Theory
- They want to bring back the practice of impounding funds"
