You keep acting like it's something that would never happen but just completely ignore the biggest policy groups in the GOP are very vocally pushing it and Trump tried appointing the AccuWeather CEO his first time around. You're arguing it's something the GOP would just never think to do despite the fact they're very openly thinking and trying it. Unless you're arguing the Heritage Foundation has little to no influence in the modern GOP... How many GOP members running for office have denounced Project 2025? None? Hmm... |

No, I’m not claiming it will never happen. Nobody knows the future. I’m just saying I think you are significantly overestimating the probability of it happening. You cite the evidence which supports estimating that probability higher, but appear to be ignoring the lines of evidence that support a lower estimate instead
I think you also misunderstand something about Project 2025 - it is a kitchen sink. To get such a wide array of conservative groups to back it, the Heritage Foundation made sure there was “something for everyone”. Not all of its proposals are equally important - to Heritage, or to other groups signed on to it. This is far from the top of the conservative movement’s agenda-it is a secondary issue. And secondary issues are the most likely to get defeated by counter-lobbying - as has happened here before, and I can’t see why it won’t happen again
I note you haven’t actually disagreed with my counterargument that a lot of corporate lobbyists will be lobbying against this policy. I just feel like you are ignoring that because it doesn’t support your position
