A Blueprint for Dismantling the Federal Government

“Eternal Vigilance is the price of democracy.”

~ Thomas Jefferson

The 2025 Presidential Transition Project, commonly known as Project 2025, is swimming deep in the waters of the culture wars. Their website makes repeated references to the “radical Left”, the need to “undo the damage done” by elected officials in the opposition party, and “take back our government”. Their website is filled with the typical doomsday rhetoric, categorizing the upcoming election as the “next conservative president’s last opportunity to save our republic.”

The group is working right now to “assemble an army of aligned, vetted, trained, and prepared conservatives to go to work on Day One to deconstruct the Administrative State.” It is important to remember that the Administrative State are the Executive and Judicial Branch of our government.

They state their purpose on their website.

“This is the goal of the 2025 Presidential Transition Project. The project will build on four pillars that will, collectively, pave the way for an effective conservative administration: a policy agenda, personnel, training, and a 180-day playbook.”
