10. Make the government white again.
Every Black person has a cousin or aunt who works in the federal government. While the civilian federal workforce is disproportionately white at the highest levels, in March 2021, nearly half (46.7%) of low-level government employees were non-white. In fact, African-American government workers are overrepresented in the federal government.

This is the “swamp” that Trump wants to drain.

……………………….

9. They will fight racism — against white people.
According to Caucasian race theory, racism against white people is destroying America.

……………..

8. They actually have a plan to stop anti-Black racism.
To be fair, Trump and his allies do have a comprehensive plan to address white supremacy homophobia and transgender discrimination. As much as it pains me to admit it, their strategy to erase racism throughout America is pretty brilliant.

They are going to officially erase races.

Nearly every federal agency collects demographic data to examine racial and gender disparities. We know Black men get longer sentences than white men who commit the same crimes because of the U.S. Sentencing Commission’s racial data. The numbers from the Department of Education’s Civil Rights Office show that Black students are punished at higher rates. Racial prejudice, harassment and retaliation are the most frequently filed workplace discrimination claims, according to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).

A Trump administration would ban many government agencies from collecting racial or demographic data. Not only do they want to discontinue the practice on mortgage applications, government hiring and business loans, but at least 15 of their proposals suggest they “start with deleting the terms sexual orientation and gender identity.” They also want to eliminate nearly every division that fights against discrimination, including the civil rights offices in the Departments of Education, Labor, and Housing and Urban Development.

Perhaps the most alarming part of the project is the strategy to eradicate the principle of disparate impact.

According to the principle, if the effect of a policy or practice negatively affects a protected group, it is discriminatory. That’s why proving racial bias doesn’t necessarily require intent. For years, conservative groups wanted to repeal an official letter from the Obama administration threatening to withhold funds from any school district that disproportionately punished Black students. Trump’s Department of Education wouldn’t just repeal Obama’s disparate impact threat; it would “eliminate disparate impact as a valid theory of discrimination for race and other bases.”

Trump’s literal policy plan is to stop talking about race.

 

…………………

7. Get tough on (Black) crime, go easy on white cops.
If you’re a person who exists in America, you’ve undoubtedly heard a person who owns a pair of wraparound sunglasses use FBI data to explain why Black people commit more crimes

………………………

5. Put men in control of women’s bodies.
Trump wasn’t lying when he said he wouldn’t pass a nationwide abortion ban. According to Agenda47 and Project 2025, he won’t have to.

While there are 199 mentions of abortion in Project 2025, none of them are about legislation. Instead, they found a loophole that will make it nearly force pregnant women to carry children to term. Not only would they “eliminate the promotion of abortion,” they would essentially cut federal funding from any agency, company or non-government entity that provides access to reproductive health services. They’d defund Planned Parenthood offices that don’t offer abortions. They want to stop government workers and military servicemembers from using their insurance to terminate pregnancies. They want to end international aid to countries that allow them.

Although they claim they want to “leave it up to the states,” they plan to sue states that require employee insurance plans to cover abortions. Not only would they prosecute doctors who terminate abortions, but they plan to sue companies that produce abortion drugs, indict people who get abortion-inducing medication through the mail and “reverse [the FDA] approval of chemical abortion drugs.” In fact, Trump would prohibit the Department of Health and Human Services from referring to abortions as “health care.”

Meanwhile, both projects vow to revoke all vaccine mandates and stop requiring agencies to report the racial statistics for COVID-19 deaths, maternal mortality and infant mortality.

I am glad that people are taking Project 2025 seriously and are looking into it, and spreading the word.

As I explained on Joy Reid’s MSNBC show on Tuesday: Project 2025 is the GOP’s version of “Mein Kampf.” The difference is that Mein Kampf was only 700 pages, Project 2025 is 900 pages. Let’s be clear: The goal of Project 2025 is to control every part of our lives. https://t.co/pAzKJan5I6
