Question about project 2025

Will Donald Trump become a dictator?

Answer

The document "Project 2025" attempts to dismantle much of the government's bureaucracy. The creators regularly state that they are working with Trump and his future administration and he has not tried to distance himself from the platform. A critical part of the platform's stated goal is to undermine civil service, and make it easier for people appointed under the Trump administration to be placed in important government jobs. By removing the necessary requirements for experience or civil service exams, the "Project 2025" playbook could be the blueprint for an autocratic administration that doesn't truly work for the American people. They also suggest implementing a database of politically aligned people and allowing them to potentially bypass any tests that could stop them from taking positions. It even encourages an extremely ideological agenda which attempts to strip down the authority of federal agencies and programs, often focusing on the dismantling of regulations that allow LGBTQ+, disabled people, people of color, and women to participate and live full lives in the United States. This platform calls for a major shift to a type of government that benefits mostly white, wealthy men while harming so many in society. Project 2025 attempts to make government easier for wealthy people and difficult for everyone else.
