PUBLISHED 9/11/2024 by Carrie N. Baker

Project 2025 is a sinister plan to replace nonpartisan civil servants who enforce laws guaranteeing women’s rights, with trained ideologues determined to undermine these rights.

This is the final installment in a three-part series about Project 2025, the extremist blueprint for the next Republican president that maps out the permanent reversal of more than 50 years of hard-fought gains for American women and girls. Part one analyzed the misogynist manifesto’s plans for “biblically based” marriages and rollbacks on reproductive rights. Part two broke down Project 2025’s plans to gut women’s rights in the workplace and the classroom. tackle the right-wing vision to “rip and shred” the federal government and democracy as we know it.


‘Ripping and Shredding’ the Federal Government

Many of the Project 2025 policies attacking women’s equality and reproductive rights, as well as other parts of Project 2025’s policy agenda—including plans to eliminate environmental and labor protections, force immigrants into internment camps and then deport them en masse, deregulate business and expand tax cuts for the wealthy—are deeply unpopular with the American people. According to the research firm Navigator, once they’ve been told about Project 2025, two in three Americans say they’re opposed to it, citing concerns “that it threatens rights and freedoms, that it would hurt middle and working-class families, and that it threatens our democracy.”

Some of these policies have been enacted by Republican presidents in the past and later reversed by Democratic presidents. What makes Project 2025 different is the scheme to make these unpopular policies permanent by replacing nonpartisan civil servants who enforce laws guaranteeing women’s rights with trained ideologues determined to undermine these rights. Laws like Title VII, Title IX and Title X (which funds family planning) will be manipulated to be useless or to function counter to their intended purpose of strengthening women’s rights.
The authors of Project 2025 boast about “how to fire supposedly ‘unfireable’ federal bureaucrats; how to shutter wasteful and corrupt bureaus and offices; how to muzzle woke propaganda at every level of Government.” The plan explicitly seeks to “dismantle the administrative state,” explaining: “The solution… is not to tinker with this or that government program, to replace this or that bureaucrat. These are problems not of technocratic efficiency but of national sovereignty and constitutional governance. We solve them not by trimming and reshaping the leaves but by ripping out the trees—root and branch.”

. . . . . .

U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) summed up the strategy this way: “They plan to centralize all power in the presidency, exercise political control over the Justice Department, implant Christian white nationalism throughout the government, strip tens of thousands of professional government workers of their civil service protections, create an army of political loyalists and sycophants in government, ban abortion nationwide, set up immigrant detention camps, deport millions of people, repeal all climate safety regulations and exact criminal revenge against reporters, judges and Democrats.”
. . .



Meanwhile, in Congress, U.S. Rep. Jared Huffman (D-Calif.) recently announced the Stop Project 2025 Task Force.

“Project 2025 is more than an idea—it’s a dystopian plot that’s already in motion to dismantle our democratic institutions, abolish checks and balances, chip away at church-state separation and impose a far-right agenda that infringes on basic liberties and violates public will,” Huffman said at the announcement. “This is an unprecedented embrace of extremism, fascism and religious nationalism orchestrated by the radical right and its dark money backers. We need a coordinated strategy to save America and stop this coup before it’s too late.”

Former Trump Cabinet member Russ Vought, who was key in developing Project 2025, said, “The president Day One will be a wrecking ball for the administrative state.” Trump strategist Steve Bannon has said, “We’re going to rip and shred the federal government apart.”

Bell Book Says Officials Told Racist Jokes : Reagan Aide Says He Doubts Claim by Ex-Education Secretary

October 21, 1987|Associated Press

WASHINGTON — President Reagan's first secretary of education says mid-level Administration officials made racist jokes and other scurrilous remarks during civil rights discussions, but Reagan's chief spokesman said Tuesday he does not believe it.

Terrel H. Bell, in a memoir of Reagan's first term, said the slurs included references to the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. as "Martin Lucifer Coon" and calling Title IX, a federal law guaranteeing women equal educational opportunity, "the lesbian's bill of rights."

Bell did not identify those who made the racist or scurrilous comments. He could not be reached for further comment.

In his book, he says the jokes about King were made as Reagan was deciding whether to sign or veto a bill establishing King's birthday as a national holiday. He eventually signed it.

Bell said: "I do not mean to imply that these scurrilous remarks were common utterances in the rooms and corridors of the White House and the Old Executive Office Building, but I heard them when issues related to civil rights enforcement weighed heavily on my mind."

Bell added: "It seemed obvious they were said for my benefit, since they often accompanied sardonic references to 'Comrade Bell.' "
