Remember in 2011 when Rick Perry clumsily advocated eliminating the Department of Education along with Energy and Commerce departments? Clearly this has been decades in the making.

Watch Undercover Video: Project 2025 Co-Author Lays Out “Radical Agenda” for Next Trump Term

As Donald Trump tries to distance his campaign from Project 2025, those behind the right-wing policy blueprint to remake the U.S. government continue to brag in private about their close ties to the Republican presidential nominee and how they intend to push a radical right-wing agenda in a second Trump administration. In July, Project 2025 co-author Russell Vought met with two people he believed to be relatives of a wealthy conservative donor interested in funding the effort. In fact, he was meeting with two reporters with the U.K.-based Centre for Climate Reporting as part of an undercover sting captured on video. Over the course of two hours, Vought described Trump’s disavowal of Project 2025 as mere theater and laid out plans for mass deportations, restricting abortion, gutting independent government bureaucracies, using the military against racial justice protesters and more. The secret plans are “designed to ensure that this kind of radical agenda that the conservative movement has in the U.S. can be implemented from day one,” says Lawrence Carter, founder and director of the Centre for Climate Reporting and one of the reporters who spoke with Vought. “They want to make sure that the mistakes from the first Trump administration, as they see them, where not much got done, are avoided this time around.”

Republican Party of Texas

Since the national party doesn't have one, here is the GOP platform for the state of Texas, complete with explicit rejection of the results of the 2020 election and the declaration that Biden is an illegitimate president. There is so much more. It is chock full of evidence of the complete moral bankrupcy of the party.
