I’m Canadian and we have our own issues with far right nutjobs but I’ve heard the phrase “Project 2025” thrown around and the little I’ve seen about it frightens me. I don’t follow the news for the sake my mental health but could someone explain it in depth? What kind of a shit show are we looking at? Unfortunately Canadian politics would probably follow because of the huge cultural influence the US has.
Here’s the document:

READ THE FOREWARD. It very meticulously lays out their 4 goals:
In plain language they want to: 1) Effectively make LGBTQ+ persons illegal, unable to marry, adopt, or even exist openly, nationally ban abortion, ban education about black history and systemic racism; 2) hamstring or eliminate a bunch of government agencies like the Department of Education, the EPA, the DOJ, Department of Homeland Security, and to eliminate many positions within the federal government or install loyal puppets; 3) close our borders completely, pull out of NATO and the UN, invest heavily in oil, coal, and natural gas, and exert extreme control over tech companies and universities; 4) school voucher programs which very much are to allow parents to segregate their children and use tax dollars to fund conservative, religious, private schools at k-12 levels, and eliminate social welfare programs. Also includes the contradiction of “champion the dynamic genius of free enterprise” and “include antitrust enforcement against corporate monopolies.”
The whole thing is full of conservative buzz words, “anti-woke” rhetoric, and contradictions about free enterprise while wanting to exert control over people and “big tech.”
But it’s dangerous because they’re going to attempt to consolidate power to the next Republican president.
Thank you for actually answering the question.
It’s going to absolutely dismantle the underpinning of polite society to please close minded racist “religious” fucking morons
