Not only is this the playbook Trump is following to the letter, but it perfectly fits his personal need for power and control.

The hypocrisy that stands out above the rest is aligning Trump with religion, family values, moral and ethical behavior or any of the behaviors toward others supported by religions.
The Heritage Foundation’s “Project 2025” is broadly centered on the idea that a conservative president should dramatically expand control over the executive branch and rapidly reshape the federal government around conservative political and social priorities.
The project’s overall themes include:
- Strong presidential authority
It promotes the “unitary executive” theory — the idea that the president should have much greater direct control over federal agencies and the bureaucracy. - Reducing the size and independence of the federal government
The plan calls for shrinking or restructuring parts of the federal bureaucracy, removing many career civil servants, and replacing them with more politically aligned appointees. - Conservative social policy
It emphasizes traditional conservative positions on issues such as abortion, gender identity, education, and family policy. - Immigration enforcement
The blueprint advocates much tougher immigration enforcement, expanded deportation efforts, and tighter border controls. - Energy and environmental deregulation
It favors expanding fossil fuel production and rolling back many climate and environmental regulations. - Religious and cultural conservatism
The document frames many political debates as part of a broader cultural struggle over religion, family structure, and national identity. - Economic deregulation
It supports reducing regulations on businesses and limiting the role of some federal agencies.
The plan is organized as a large policy blueprint and staffing effort intended for a future conservative administration.
Supporters describe it as a way to make government more accountable to elected leadership; critics argue it could weaken institutional checks and increase politicization of government agencies.


It seems like Republicans want a smaller government role in their lives. So why is the Republican government getting into our bedrooms telling women what to do with their bodies? And if a women is forced to have a child, why isn’t mandatory child support from the fathers enforced? Instead tax payers end up supporting the child in many cases.

I am not aware of any federal, state or local law that forces Americans to have children.
Certain laws are appropriate for our federal government of certain enumerated powers. Enumerated means to name, specify, or count things individually, one by one
All else is left to state and local government representatives elected by citizens of that state. The remainder belongs to the people themselves.
If you don’t like the state or local laws that apply to you, you should petition your representatives in state and local government to create and enforce the laws you believe are necessary/appropriate.
Your note suggests a specific concern about the right to abortion. I would note that 17 states have taken action since the Dobbs Supreme Court ruling in 2022.
Prior to the 2024 elections, the side favoring access to abortion prevailed in every state that voted on abortion-related ballot measures. In 2022 and 2023, California, Michigan, Ohio, and Vermont voters passed measures amending the state constitution to protect the right to abortion. Measures seeking to curtail the right to abortion in Kentucky, Kansas, and Montana failed.
In 2024, 10 states voted on abortion measures that sought to affirm that the state constitution protects the right to abortion. Nebraska voted on two measures: one seeking to protect abortion and the other seeking to ban abortion after the first trimester. Measures protecting abortion rights succeeded in 7 states — Arizona, Colorado, Maryland, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, and New York — and failed in 3 — Florida, Nebraska, and South Dakota. Voters passed a measure amending the Nebraska state constitution prohibiting abortions after the first trimester.
In November 2026, voters in Missouri, Nevada, and Virginia will weigh in on abortion measures that could change the legal status of abortion in their state. In addition, measures in Idaho and Nebraska are in the process of collecting signatures.
