Project 2025

Re: the meme here, I highly doubt it.  In fact, Project 2025 looks like the present-day Republicans’ dream. From its Wikipedia page:

Project 2025, also known as the Presidential Transition Project, is a collection of conservative and right-wing policy proposals from the Heritage Foundation to reshape the United States federal government and consolidate executive power should the Republican Party candidate win the 2024 presidential election. It proposes reclassifying tens of thousands of merit-based federal civil service workers as political appointees in order to replace them with those who will be more willing to enact the wishes of the next Republican president. It asserts that the president has absolute power over the executive branch.  

Critics of Project 2025 have characterized it as an authoritarian, Christian nationalist plan to transform the United States into an autocracy. Many legal experts have asserted it would undermine the rule of law, the separation of powers, the separation of church and state, and civil liberties.

The fact that Project 2025 would “undermine the rule of law, the separation of powers, the separation of church and state, and civil liberties” is precisely the point; it’s what the Heritage Foundation has been hard at work on since its inception in 1973.
