Project 2025 Leaders Are Actively Working to Undermine Democracy
Our research reveals how Project 2025 leaders are actively working to undermine democracy by dismantling essential checks and balances. At the center of efforts to overturn the 2020 election, these leaders have used shadowy MAGA “nerve center” groups to protect Trump allies and sow doubt in democratic processes. Their agenda goes beyond challenging past election results—Project 2025 aims to weaponize the federal government, concentrating power in the hands of a future conservative president. By demanding unwavering loyalty to both the president and the Project 2025 platform, they are pushing a vision that would subvert the will of the people and erode the principles of a democratic society.
The far-reaching implications of Project 2025’s agenda are alarming. The organization’s most extreme policy proposals seek to roll back fundamental human rights advancements and overhaul core “good government” principles. Under the leadership of Heritage Foundation President Kevin Roberts, Project 2025’s vision for the future would radically reshape the federal government and disrupt its ability to serve the public. As Roberts champions this extreme agenda, he even entertains ties with far-right international leaders, signaling a push toward a more authoritarian style of governance. The research makes one thing clear: Project 2025 is not just a policy initiative—it’s a calculated effort to reshape American democracy.
