I don’t know the source of that thing that Mark Hammill posted, but their entire mindset is outdated and incorrect, they aren’t making the correct accusations.
We accuse Project 2025—rightly, I think—of wanting a dictatorship, then people say dumb shit like “federal ban on abortion,” or “stacking the courts.”
Project 2025 does not give a fuck about the 3 branches of government. Project 2025 is entirely about funneling massive power to the Executive Branch in order to bypass the legislative and judicial checks on the executive. People need to wake the fuck up and realize this.
To understand Project 2025, we have to stop thinking in terms of the Constitution, and the Schoolhouse Rock way that government is supposed to function.
So for example:
——“Federal ban on abortion.” This could never be done by executive order, it’d get struck down right away. It would have to be done by Congress. All of this legislative gridlock—which is our Founders’ intended design, btw— where maybe a bill never has a vote, or maybe it passes the House but dies in the Senate, blah blah blah—Project 2025 does not function in those terms.
They attack it a different way: by executive power which would have the Dept of HHS no longer consider abortion a form of healthcare, disqualifying Planned Parenthood and similar groups from Medicaid and federal grants, passing new rules to allow many many more employers to opt out of covering contraception as part of employees’ insurance policies, eliminate pharmacies’ abilities to distribute abortion medication and emergency contraception, things like that. One study found that
nearly 50 million women would be cut off from emergency contraception. That’s not even abortion, that’s just emergency contraception.
The end result is the same, but it is done swiftly and with destructive precision, utilizing massive and unprecedented executive power and not through the legislative branch. This bypasses them, and largely prevents checks on their power by the judicial. This is the danger of Project 2025, and people better open their eyes and understand that this works in an entirely different framework than we are used to.
If anyone wants to read this road map to dictatorship,
here it is in its entirety.
