Who Is Really Behind Project 2025? Why We Should Be Watching the Architects, Not Trump
Project 2025: The Real Threat Behind Trump
When most people think about danger to our democracy, they think of Donald Trump. He’s loud, always in the spotlight, and loves attention. But focusing only on Trump hides the bigger truth.
The real threat comes from the people behind Project 2025. These are the leaders who are quietly writing the playbook to change our government and reshape America into something very different. Trump is their frontman—but the people pulling the strings are the ones we need to watch.
Who Is Behind Project 2025?
Project 2025 is a huge plan created by the Heritage Foundation and more than 100 other conservative groups. Its goal is to:
- Fire career government workers.
- Replace them with loyal political operatives.
- Take away rights and freedoms.
- Give almost all power to the president.
At the heart of the plan is a 900-page book called Mandate for Leadership: The Conservative Promise.
Here are the key architects:
- Kevin Roberts – Leader of the Heritage Foundation. Wants to make “Trumpism” permanent.
- Paul Dans – Co-editor of the plan. Worked under Trump and pushed for loyalty tests in hiring.
- Spencer Chretien – Helped design the plan to fire thousands of civil servants.
- John McEntee – Trusted Trump aide. Famous for firing anyone “not loyal enough.”
- Russell Vought – Writes executive orders to give the president more power and cut federal programs.
- Steven Groves – Co-editor who gives legal advice to reshape government.
- Ben Carson, Ken Cuccinelli, Peter Navarro – Former Trump officials adding extreme ideas.
These men are building the machine. Trump is just the driver.
How They Want to Change America
Project 2025 is not about improving America—it’s about tearing down democracy so a small group can stay in power. Here’s what they plan to do:
1. Fire Government Workers
Under “Schedule F,” a president could fire tens of thousands of nonpartisan workers and replace them with loyalists who serve the president, not the Constitution.
2. Give the President Unlimited Power
They want to weaken Congress, the courts, and independent agencies so the president has almost no limits.
3. Take Away Rights and Freedoms
Their plan includes rolling back reproductive rights, LGBTQ protections, and voting access. They want to enforce strict cultural and religious rules on all Americans.
4. Cut Social Programs
They are targeting Social Security, Medicare, public schools, and environmental protections. The goal is to weaken or privatize them, helping the wealthy while hurting everyday Americans.
5. Stay in Power Even When They Lose
By rewriting laws and reshaping the courts, they want to keep control—even if they lose elections.
Trump: The Puppet
Trump is dangerous, but he is also useful to the architects of Project 2025. He rallies crowds, stirs up anger, and grabs headlines. But behind the noise, it’s Roberts, Dans, Chretien, McEntee, Vought, and Groves who are writing the rules.
They count on Americans paying attention only to Trump’s speeches—while they quietly set up a system that gives them permanent control.
Why We Must Pay Attention
If we only look at Trump, we miss the real story. The people behind Project 2025 are the ones creating the plan to replace democracy with authoritarian rule.
To protect our freedoms, we must:
- Name the architects so people know who they are.
- Expose their policies so Americans see the impact on their lives.
- Stay focused on the plan itself, not just Trump’s behavior.
The Bottom Line
If Trump wins, Project 2025 wins.
And if Project 2025 wins, democracy loses.
