As the name suggests, Project 2025 is a far-right manifesto initially brought to life by the Heritage Foundation and later parrotted by much of the far-right including Donald Trump despite his denials. In this edition of Bazaar Insider, we’re going to explore 5 very real ways this manifesto affects elderly Americans.
DESPITE DONALD TRUMP’S CLAIM THAT HE DOES NOT KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT PROJECT 25′ TWO OF HIS MOST IMPORTANT FAR-RIGHT ALLIES HAVE STARRED IN VIDEOS FOR THE PROJECT. THE HERITAGE FOUNDATION THOUGHT THEY WERE SLICK AND UNLISTED THEM ON YOUTUBE SO IF YOU DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THEM — THEN THEY WOULD NOT APPEAR.
THIS GROUP IS ATTEMPTING TO MISLEAD THE AMERICAN PUBLIC. WOULD YOU LIKE TO KNOW WHY? BELOW ARE TWO OF TRUMP’S SOCIOPATHS IN PROMOTIONAL STILLS FOR THE VERY PROJECT THEY CLAIM ISN’T SPEAKING FOR A CAMPAIGN OR CANDIDATE.
BOTH OF THESE INDIVIDUALS ARE HIGH-PROFILE TRUMP CAMPAIGN OFFICIALS AND ALLIES. MAKE NO MISTAKE AMERICA, YOU ARE BEING BAMBOOZLED.
The Lowdown
Let’s begin and we’re going to break this down play by play because this is not a joke folks.
- A previously published Media Matters article found that the Heritage Foundation the author of the report [though it is endorsed by the far-right and Trump] wants to raise the retirement age to seventy!
As Media Matters notes this would actually amount to about a twenty percent cut in benefits.
2. And then the plan would also keep prescription drug prices high by rescinding the very programs attempting to keep them low.
3. But it gets worse. Under the plan, food assistance programs commonly known as SNAP would see dramatic roll reductions if they continued to exist at all.
According to Democracy Forward, who reviewed the entire document, the document calls for severely limiting access to often life-saving access to nutritious food and other necessities. Food stamps aren’t the only food assistance program in America. A Pew Research Study found that nearly forty million people including 21m+ households rely on some form of a food assistance program to get by. The implications of this would be catastrophic if the far-right wins.
You can see the full picture of how this draconian plan would uproot millions of families and people for no other reason than control.
