volokhangelo2016 — 2024-12-01 01:10:53 UTC

In this essay I will be writing an op-ed which will be setting the record straight on what Project 2025 and a 2nd term of a Trump presidancy will mean for youth minorities in the United states. I find that this issue needs addressing due to alot of misinformation being spewed by "fact-based" organizations such as Fox News or the New York Post, which even their non-editorial publications are extremely biased from the ground up. One of the larger things that irks me is how the people writing articles on, "gen-z" this & "the woke youth" that, are often older people, Gen X or Baby boomers. I find that this is a serious problem as there is a fundamental differnece in mentalities, and a bias for the ones writing the articles to say their you know what doesn't stink while demeaning the youth for being naieve or plain stupid. With so many news sources providing baised or down right manufactred "facts", it's more important now than ever to be educated. I will cite fact based & peer reviewed sources along side low bias news sources reporting fact and not opinion. I wan't those who don't have the know how to navigate the legal bs and fake news thrown at them daily.

"Dismantling the Dems"

This AP news article covers the planning and contributions made by conservative organizations to dismantle the current democratic government and transform it into the ideal conservative government for Trump to slide into and take control of. Some of the facts are that over 350 conservative groups have produced a nearly 1,000-page book of policies detailing proposed changes across numerous government agencies. These proposed policies threaten the rights of millions of Americans, and the planet as a whole due to rolling back environmental regulations. These policies are aimed to be implemented within the first 180 days of Trump's 2nd term.

This CNN news article covers the Trump side of Project 2025 where he claims no knowledge of anything regarding Project 2025 such as who runs it, what legislation is in it, and the plans to implement it. Trump publically distances himself from 2025 as it is a rather extreme piece of proposed policies and he had votes to gain by not publicly showing support for project 2025. Now that he has taken the role as president-elect many speculate whether it will be implemented. However, many of Trump's former staff from his first term are a part of the group that wrote the proposed policies for the trump administration, there is reasonable doubt that Trump does know of Project 2025, what policies are in it, and how he wants it to be implemented.

This AP news article covers the proposed federal changes that Project 2025 aims to implement. Project 2025 wants to utilize Trump as a tool to implement its ideologies. Some federal changes that Project 2025 aims for are the reduction of protections for civil service jobs, replacing long-standing government employees with those who align with the political alliance of those in power and those loyal to the administration, and making it easier to implement conservative policies against less political agencies such as the EPA. Project 2025, and by extension Trump, emphasize immigration restrictions, mass deregulation for corporations, and greater presidential control.
