Project 2025 wants to:

  • Outlaw pornography
  • Outlaw abortion
  • Outlaw homosexuality
  • Eliminate all major checks on presidential power. Say goodbye to the system of checks and balances
  • Replace many federal workers with those who are loyal only to the president

www.defeatproject2025.org breaks it down by topic, also highly suggest John Oliver's segment on it

Its a good thing Biden is president, we should vote for him again so he can continue to not stop these things from happening

And one! Texas and shit taking first steps by requiring state id verification.

That’s how they do things, just enough to get the foot in the door, move the goalposts and repeat

Replace many federal workers with those who are loyal only to the president

This is the key point that actually makes all this possible. From the wiki

It proposes reclassifying tens of thousands of merit-based federal civil service workers as political appointees in order to replace them with loyal conservatives to further the objectives of the next Republican president.

"Tens of thousands". There is absolutely not enough young republicans in the nation to replace that many federal workers. The outcome if they fired them anyways would be orders of magnitude worse than the De-Ba'athification of Iraq. Its declaring class war on Northern Virginia and its a fight the GOP would lose.
