Why This Matters
📋 Conservative think tank governs America through appointed loyalists
Heritage Foundation's 922-page blueprint provided ready-made executive orders and personnel lists that Trump implemented exactly as written. Well-funded think tanks can control government when aligned presidents take office, bypassing democratic input on policy creation.
👑 Unitary executive theory eliminates internal government checks
Project 2025 weaponizes presidential authority to concentrate power in the White House. Career civil servants, independent agencies, and professional expertise lose power to resist political directives, replacing constitutional separation of powers with autocratic control.
🔥 Schedule F strips job protections from 50,000 federal experts
The reinstated personnel classification lets political appointees fire scientists, economists, and analysts whose research contradicts presidential goals. Merit-based government becomes loyalty-based patronage where facts become subordinate to politics.
💰 $2.7 trillion in cuts target social programs while military spending increases
Project 2025's aggressive spending reductions eliminate education, environmental protection, and social services while expanding defense budgets. Working families lose support systems while defense contractors gain guaranteed profits.
