Summary

Despite disavowing Project 2025 during the campaign, Trump’s transition team is now using its extensive database of vetted conservative candidates to help fill over 4,000 government positions.

Project 2025, criticized for its extreme policy proposals and links to Trump’s first administration, created a “conservative LinkedIn” of 10,000 candidates.

While some contributors are being tapped for key roles, others face rejection due to controversial stances.

Democrats, who used Project 2025 in campaign attacks, are warning of its influence on Trump’s agenda and planning policy responses.

    I’ve run into some trump voters who aren’t worried about project 2025 because “i’m going to vote against it in 2025” and it’s like… goddammit, why did the republicans get so good at propaganda so fast (hint: Russian money)

          yeah. these are people who think the new president takes office election night, think the federal government does ballot measures, and haven’t ever really voted in a national election that wasn’t for president. it’s not mental gymnastics to not know things
