I have checked numerous claims about Project 2025 against of the actual text.

While none of these claims are completely baseless, but about four out of five are misleading or exaggerations. The primary issue is the misunderstanding of the context in which this document appears. This is not Donald Trump's "Mein Kampf"; it is not directly related to him. I doubt he's even read it, or read more than a couple excerpts of it. Instead, it is a position paper from the Heritage Foundation, a think tank that has been around for decades that is somewhat influential maybe in the top five right wing think tanks, outlining their wish list for the presidency.

This document should be taken a little seriously, regardless of who the president is, especially if they are an avowedly Christian conservative president like George Bush, Ronald Reagan, or Mike Pence. Such presidents have historically taken these kinds of position papers as a source for some of their agenda, and we have felt their impact in the past. While Donald Trump might occasionally touch on some of these issues, he has never stuck to an agenda for more than a few news cycles. He is unlikely to pursue it unless the media continuously brings it to his attention, potentially turning it into a self-fulfilling prophecy.

It's important to recognize that this kind of ideological extremism exists across multiple organizations, both right-wing and left-wing. Although such agendas are not usually very powerful, they are worth some effort to marginalize.

Finally, the timing and ubiquity of memes around project 2025. How it came out of obscurity in a sudden Rush, makes this very much look like an AstroTurf operation on the part of the DNC to distract from the recent bad publicity that Joe Biden has received. Once again they're resorting to, don't look at our candidate fear the opposition. Both sides use this tactic, but I've seen it more on the Democratic side for the last decade. This is how you get dangerously bad presidential candidates on both sides. If you're afraid of Donald Trump getting elected and implementing this document, you can do what I've been saying for the last 2 years, get a different Democratic candidate. He is not remotely close to your best person to defeat Donald Trump. His main qualification is that the party leadership feels comfortable that he won't disrupt their power structure and he will stay in line with their interests.
